SUMMARY:
On February 25, 2020, three suspects were arrested during two separate incidents while visiting the West Valley Detention Center. 
 
During the first incident, Tawni Speldrick and Robert Firman drove onto the jail property.  When deputies checked Speldrick’s information, she was found to have a no bail warrant for her arrest.  Her passenger Robert Firman, was found in possession of suspected methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.  Both were arrested and booked into the jail.  Speldrick is being held without bail pending her transfer to Riverside County. 
Firman is being held on $25,000 bail.  His next court date is scheduled for February 27, 2020 in Rancho Cucamonga.
 
Approximately two hours after the first incident, deputies contacted Freddy Brito Hernandez inside a vehicle in the visitor parking lot.  Hernandez was found with a suspected controlled substance, drug paraphernalia, and three active arrest warrants.  Two of the warrants were from San Bernardino County.  The first was for vehicle theft and failure to yield/pursuit and the second was for driving on a suspended license.  The third warrant was from Riverside County and was for possession of a stolen vehicle.  Hernandez was arrested and is being held on a combined bail of $195,000.
