SUMMARY: On Wednesday, April 6, 2022, at 2:58 p.m., deputies from the Victor Valley Sheriff’s Station responded to a residential burglary in the 13400 block of Carmine Road in Hesperia.
The suspect, Laurie Metzger, walked through the victim’s closed gate and knocked on the front door. When she realized no one was home, she entered through an unlocked back door. Metzger took a water bottle from inside the kitchen and sat in the yard. When the homeowner’s children arrived home from school, they were met by Metzger and called 911.
Metzger left the residence and started walking across the train tracks and towards her residence. When deputies attempted to detain Metzger, she swung a stick at one of the deputies causing a laceration to his hand.
Laurie Metzger was arrested for burglary and assault on a Peace Officer. She is currently being held at High Desert Detention Center in lieu of $75,000.00 bail.
