San Bernardino, CA – A video arraignment for a 32-year-old Crestline attempted murder suspect — who is being held on $1 million bail — is set for 12:30 p.m. on Monday, February 23.
Kyle Allen Thompson has been incarcerated at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga since February 19 for attempted murder, due to the nature of an alleged attack on a female victim. Bail has been set at $1 million.
THE INCIDENT
On Tuesday, February 17, deputies from the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Station were dispatched to a report of a domestic disturbance in the 700 block of Deer Trail in Crestline.
Emergency dispatchers were told by an unidentified female victim that her boyfriend was refusing to leave and was trying to prevent her from calling authorities. Thompson had left the residence by the time deputies arrived at the residence.
During an interview with deputies, the victim said she had been attacked with a wooden, baton style weapon. The victim also told deputies Thompson attempted to strangle her, according to a media release issued by the Twin Peaks Station.
EVENTUAL ARREST
During an area check, deputies spotted Thompson as he fled on foot. Deputies began a pursuit and Thompson managed to elude capture that night. However, deputies kept the residence under observation for most of the day on Wednesday, February 18, anticipating Thompson’s possible return.
On Thursday, February 19, Thompson was spotted by deputies at about 1:23 a.m. outside a residence in the 700 block of Big Oak Drive. Thompson again led deputies on another foot pursuit through the backyards of several nearby residences. Thompson hid under the cover of darkness near the area of Crest Forest Drive and Big Oak Drive.
Sheriff’s Aviation (40-King) assisted with the pursuit and directed deputies to where Thompson was hiding. The suspect was taken into custody at 1:48 a.m. without further incident. (140)
