SUMMARY:
On Monday, May 23, 2016, at approximately 11:01 a.m. Deputies Hedy and Hollenbaugh, from the Sheriff's Central Station responded to Slover Avenue and Pepper Avenue, Colton following the report of a male subject trespassing on the property. The subject was seen throwing large rocks at work trucks driving by on the property. Deputies arrived and located the subject, later identified as Raymond Farias. Farias tied himself to a large rock and threatened to throw himself off the hillside. Deputies began talking to Farias and get him to come down the side of the hill and prevent him from hurting himself. Approximately one hour later the subject emerged at the bottom of the hill and Deputy Hedy contacted him. Farias struck Hedy on the forearm with a large rock as Farias was being taken into custody. Farias was found to have a no bail PRCS warrant for burglary. He was arrested and transported to West Valley Detention Center.
