Victorville man arrested for obstructing and resisting an officer

VICTORVILLE, Calif. (VVNG.com) — A 38-year-old Victorville man was arrested for obstructing and resisting an officer earlier this week.
At about 12:08 pm, on June 6, 2021, deputies with the Victorville Police Department responded to a subject disturbance at a home in the 15200 block of Seneca Road. The reporting party stated the suspect was trying to hit people and was breaking things in the home.
Upon arrival, the first deputy at the scene contacted the involved parties, including the suspect, Carlton Thurston. During the investigation, the suspect left the location, and the deputy located him down the street.
The deputy attempted to place him in handcuffs, and the suspect became physical and resisted arrest.

The deputy pursued the suspect and took him into custody after deploying his department-issued Taser to gain compliance.
Thurston was arrested and booked at High Desert Detention Center for obstructing/resisting an officer. The deputy suffered minor injuries and did not require medical attention.
