SUMMARY: On Wednesday, April 6, 2022, at about 1:45 p.m., Fontana deputies continued their partnership with San Bernardino County Code Enforcement, related to quality-of-life issues in the unincorporated area of Bloomington. Deputies and Code Enforcement Officers went to the area north of Interstate 10, east of Cedar Avenue, to contact several transients and clear debris from the area.
Deputies contacted several people, including Edward Saravia, a 25-year-old Bloomington resident, and learned he had eight warrants for his arrest. The warrants were for drug offenses and bail on one of the warrants was revoked by a judge. At about 2:27 p.m., Saravia was arrested for his warrants and immediately escaped from custody. Additional deputies, Sheriff’s Aviation, Sheriff's Specialized Enforcement Division, the Rialto Police Department, and a tracking canine from Rancho Cucamonga Station, responded to the area. Deputies received 911 calls from the public which provided general information regarding the suspect’s possible location. After a lengthy search, deputies found Saravia where he again ran and was apprehended in a nearby residence.
Saravia was booked into the Central Detention Center for PC 836.6(b) - Escape from a Peace Officer and his outstanding arrest warrants.
