SUMMARY: On Wednesday, May 4, 2022, Deputy Rodriguez from the Fontana Sheriff's Station was dispatched to a disturbance at the Sierra Crossing Motel. When Rodriguez arrived, he located two victims in the parking lot with visible injuries. The victims informed Rodriguez their adult son, later identified as Neftaly Nech, had assaulted them during an argument in the parking lot. The victims also stated Nech had taken their cell phone by force and smashed it on the ground to prevent them from calling 9-1-1 for help. A resident nearby heard the argument, dialed 9-1-1 and reported the incident.
Rodriguez arrived within minutes and rendered medical aid to the victims. He broadcasted a description of the suspect with the assistance of additional deputies as they conducted an area check. Nech fled the location and was not initially located.
Later in the afternoon, Nech returned and began arguing with both victims inside their apartment. Nech was located and detained without further incident. Nech was arrested and transported to Central Detention Center where he was booked for robbery and assault.
Investigators are attempting to locate additional witnesses who saw the assault and robbery take place in the parking lot.
