Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor LA PUENTE - An assault with a deadly weapon suspect was caught after fleeing the scene of a crash he intentionally caused Tuesday night, deputies said. The suspect allegedly brandished a handgun during a road rage incident around 11 p.m. in the area of Hacienda Boulevard and Nelson Avenue, according to Lt. James Long of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Industry Station. The victim in the truck hit by the suspect’s Hyundai sedan fled to the nearby Sheriff’s Industry Station to get help. She was treated at the scene and later hospitalized with undisclosed injuries, Long said. A yard-to-yard search was conducted to locate the gun, but a gun was not found, according to Sgt. Jacobson of the Sheriff’s Industry Station.
The suspect was medically cleared before booking. Victor Asdruval Salazar, 36, was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, Jacobson told SGV CityWatch. Salazar is being held in lieu of $145,000 bail ahead of a scheduled appearance in court Friday, February 21. |
