ASSAULT: On July 30 at 4:57 p.m., a man claimed that he was assaulted while walking on Waverly Street in the area of Cove Road. The victim said the unknown suspect hit him in the eye and ribs and unsuccessfully attempted to stab him. The suspect then left the location. The victim was transported to St. Mary Medical Center for treatment. The deputy planned to file a report.

POSSIBLE BURGLARY: On July 29 at 2:11 p.m., a caller claimed that approximately $5,000 worth of jewelry — including diamonds, rubies and sapphires — had been stolen from a residence in the 32000 area of Foothill Road. A report was not created immediately, but the deputy planned to follow up with the victim at a later date.

RESISTING, PUBLIC INTOX.: On July 29 at 6:48 a.m. in the area of Mesa Road an Topaz Road, 33-year-old Charles Patrick Robinson of Lucerne Valley led deputies on a 20-minute chase through the neighborhood before being arrested on suspicion of resisting/obstructing a peace officer and public intoxication.

According to the deputy’s report, Robinson had been drinking all night and was outside with another man on Mesa road. When Robinson saw a patrol car coming down the street, he immediately ran away though the desert, the deputy’s report stated. He was found hiding in a home on Zircon Road, where he was arrested at gunpoint. Robinson’s booking information appeared in last week’s Leader.
