Notable Cases: Glendora Aggravated Assault | August 20

One of my readers alerted me to a social media post regarding an incident Tuesday night, August 20 in Glendora.

I’m not sure how widespread the rumor was, but the incident was described as a home invasion east of Citrus College and a person was stabbed.

A call to the Glendora Police Department Thursday morning yielded little information, but Lt. Marty Barrett said that the incident was not a home invasion robbery. He spoke briefly with the department’s Investigations Bureau which did not want to release information yet.
During the interview, Barrett said a social media post would come within the next few days.

According to the Glendora Police crime map, officers investigated an aggravated assault at 10:48 p.m. in the 100 block of South Marcile Avenue.

Not wanting to be deterred, I spoke with the Los Angeles County Fire Department which responded to the home. 

A fire department representative said firefighters responded at 10:48 p.m. to a stabbing victim. In the call, an informant stated a suspect broke in and stabbed the informant’s grandson.

It is unclear if a suspect was arrested and the victim’s condition is not known.

Editor’s Note: Numerous attempts were made to speak with Sgt. Burgess and Detective St. Pierre of the Arcadia Police Investigations Unit regarding the following case, but my calls have gone unanswered:
 
ARCADIA - An estranged family member stole his mother’s ashes during her own funeral service, police said.
 
The incident occurred Sunday, November 25, at Holy Angels Church, 370 Campus Dr., at 10:21 a.m. The unnamed suspect, only described as an estranged brother, took the ashes and urn from the church, Arcadia Police said in a written statement.
 
The 65-year-old man, a resident of Cabazon, fled the church.
 
The suspect was outstanding as of the time the report was written on December 4.
 
In speaking with an Arcadia Police supervisor, the incident was possibly a civil matter. It is unclear if the estranged brother was arrested.
