SUMMARY:    
On Monday, May 24, 2021, at about 12:26 P.M., deputies responded to a vehicle burglary in-progress in the 18600 block of 6^th Street in unincorporated Bloomington. The reporting party told dispatch the suspect, later found to be 24-year-old Rigoberto Vasquez, was high on drugs, screamed, tried to attack people, and broke into a vehicle. Vasquez was gone upon the first deputy’s arrival. Shortly thereafter, Vasquez returned, armed with a rock, and threw it though the window of a vehicle. Vasquez ran from deputies who told him to stop and followed him for over a half mile. They eventually came to the intersection of Cedar Avenue & 6^th Street where Vasquez entered the roadway and, as deputies closed in, he ran away from them. A short foot pursuit ensued during which Vasquez suddenly stopped and tried to punch a deputy. After a struggle, Vasquez was subsequently arrested. One of the involved deputies suffered a minor injury, was treated by paramedics, and later evaluated at a local medical facility. Vasquez was found to have several outstanding warrants for his arrest. After a medical evaluation, Vasquez was booked into West Valley Detention Center for his warrants and PC 69- Violence / Threat of Violence towards an Executive Officer.
