SUMMARY:
On December 3, 2014 a Sheriff's Reserve Deputy located a stolen Mazda Protégé parked at 48th Street and Mayfield in the city of San Bernardino. It was occupied by a Hispanic male driver and a Hispanic female passenger. As additional deputies responded and arrived at the location, the male and female got out of the car. The female was detained, and the male fled on foot and out of sight. The deputies determined the suspect had run into the female suspect's house. With assistance from the San Bernardino Police Department, the deputies secured a perimeter around the house and advised the nearby Hillside Elementary School to lockdown. Several public address announcements were made to have the suspect come out of the house. There was no initial reply until deputies made visual and verbal contact with several juveniles inside the house. The children were able to come out of the house one at a time and were taken away from the activity. Three additional adults were ordered to step outside to be detained. Deputies made entry and contacted the driver, identified as Eli Ibanez, who had been hiding in a bedroom. Ibanez is on felony probation and was arrested without further incident. The Department of Children's Service assisted in processing the children.

Ibanez and Lozano were arrested and booked for possession of the stolen car. Ibanez was also charged, along with Montoya, with child endangerment.
