Victorville authorities have officially taken 37-year-old resident Randy Lee King into custody following an altercation that occurred at a local protest earlier this month. King is facing multiple charges concerning an assault last Monday, per the SBSD Victorville Police Department.
The incident unfolded at the G&M gas station on Amargosa Road, where demonstrators had gathered. According to the department's report, deputies were called to the scene and found one individual with serious injuries attributed to the assault. Witnesses quickly helped to rapidly pinpoint King as the suspect. He was subsequently arrested during a traffic stop just days later, as detailed by the SBSD Victorville Police Department. Deputies have now charged King with a series of offenses, including battery with great bodily injury and assault with a deadly weapon, as well as for unlawful assembly and an outstanding misdemeanor warrant for vandalism.
King's arrest last Thursday was followed by his booking into the High Desert Detention Center in Adelanto. The details of his apprehension were provided by Deputy H. Cuevas and detailed by Detective E. Rebollar. Since the case remains under investigation, authorities are actively encouraging witnesses or anyone with pertinent information to come forward.
