(Three arrested)….They had fired a BB gun at a vehicle.
The 3 were in a Dodge Avenger at the time. It happened near 8th Street and Park Avenue. The shot hit the victim vehicle’s windshield, but it did not break it. The victim flagged down a patrolling Police Officer. The officer told the victim to go to the police station, and he began searching for the suspect vehicle. It turns out the suspect vehicle followed the victim to the police station, and parked behind it, before pulling away. Police eventually found the Dodge. The suspect fled from the police, but stopped after a short pursuit. Police arrested 19 year old Edward Jimenez and 20 year old Francisco Juarez, both from El Centro, and a juvenile. They were charged with suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Juarez was also charged with fleeing from a peace officer with disregard for safety. The juvenile was turned over to his mother.
