San Bernardino, CA – Edgar Alvin Haines, 40, a transient parolee from Sugarloaf, will be in San Bernardino County Superior Court Monday, January 5, for three modification of sentence hearings and a disposition reset hearing on a burglary charge. The hearings are set for 8:31 a.m. in Department S-19.
During his most recent court appearance — on December 5 –Judge William Jefferson Powell suspended criminal proceedings to consider a Penal Code 1368 trial motion contending Haines was not in any mental condition to participate meaningfully in his trial.
THE BURGLARY CASE
On Thursday, March 20, Haines, made contact with Multi-Enforcement Taskforce (MET) officers at 8:20 a.m. Deputies conducted a pedestrian check on Haines at the intersection of Wabash Avenue and Laurel Lane. Because Haines is a parolee, he was subject to search as a condition of his parole, according to the press release issued by the Big Bear Station.
During the search, deputies determined Haines was in violation of his parole because they found him to be in possession of drug paraphernalia, the release indicated.
THE ARREST
Haines was arrested at 8:48 a.m. according to original booking documents.
During the investigation, deputies felt Haines matched the description of a suspect wanted in connection with a March 18 burglary in the same neighborhood.
After searching the location where Haines was staying, officers determined the suspect was in possession of stolen property from the burglary.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Haines is currently in custody at the Adelanto Detention Center in Adelanto and is being held at $500,000 bail. (39)
