Lake Arrowhead, CA – On Wednesday, September 20, 2019 at about 5:54 a.m. deputies assigned to the Twin Peaks Station responded to Mountains Community Hospital in Lake Arrowhead. The victim stated she had been assaulted by her boyfriend of 2 years, John Neibert, a 43 year old resident of Lake Arrowhead.
Neibert was intoxicated and accused the victim of cheating because she did not send him a nude photo that he requested. The victim walked away from Neibert and he followed her into their bedroom where he demanded sex. He attempted to force himself upon her and she resisted and he ended up pushing the victim off the bed causing her head and face to hit the floor. She sustained injuries to her face and other parts of her body. She got up in a daze and attempted to leave their home, but Neibert took the victims keys and cellphone refusing to let her leave. At about 3:00 a.m. Neibert gave the victim her phone and keys and allowed her to leave. The victim warned deputies he made threatening statements to her and owned several firearms.
Sargent Brandt located Neibert’s vehicle and conducted a traffic stop. Neibert was detained and had a loaded .45 caliber pistol on the passenger seat next to him. He also had an assault rifle and Savage brand hunting rifle inside the vehicle. Neibert was arrested for domestic violence and weapons charges.
