San Bernardino, CA – Trial dates for a 41-year-old transient parolee from Sugarloaf — Edgar Alvin Haines — have been set on a burglary charge related to a March 18 incident in his own neighborhood. The pre-trial hearing is scheduled for May 15 at 8:30 a.m. in Department S-19. The trial readiness hearing will be in the same courtroom at 8:30 a.m. on June 5 followed by a jury trial on June 8.
During his most recent court appearance — on Thursday, April 23 — Judge R. Glenn Yabuno continued the suspension of criminal proceedings to consider a Penal Code 1368 trial motion contending Haines is not in any mental condition to participate meaningfully in his own defense.
The trial dates were requested by Haines’ attorney Deputy Publicv Defender Samra Roth
VIOLATION OF PAROLE
On Thursday, March 20, at 8:20 a.m., Haines, made contact with Multi-Enforcement Taskforce (MET) officers. 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.
During the search, deputies determined Haines was in violation of his parole because they found him to be in possession of drug paraphernalia, according to a press release issued by the Big Bear Station.
THE ARREST
Original booking documents reviewed by ROTWNEWS.com indicated that Haines was arrested at 8:48 a.m.
Investigators 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 he was staying, officers determined Haines was in possession of stolen property from the burglary, the media advisory stated.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Haines is currently in custody at the Adelanto Detention Center in Adelanto and is being held at $500,000 bail.
Judge Yabuno also ordered probation on several additional cases revoked and then terminated probation effective April 23. Haines was on probation for being in possession of a controlled substance and providing false identification to a peace officer. (62)
