On Monday, July 14, 2014, at approximately 9:24 p.m. Compton Sheriff’s deputies were conducting a routine patrol check in Enterprise Park located on the 13000 block of Clovis Avenue, unincorporated Los Angeles. Deputies observed a man sitting on a bench and smelled what they identified to be the odor of marijuana in the immediate area. They contacted 29-year-old Barry John Montgomery, to conduct an investigation pursuant to the odor of marijuana. Suspect Montgomery was detained and a warrant check was initiated. The suspect became verbally confrontational and subsequently attempted to punch one of the deputies. The deputies then struggled with the suspect and took him into custody.
