SUMMARY: On Monday, June 13, 2022, at about 3:56 p.m., Fontana Station deputies responded to a disturbance in the 10000 block of Claremont Avenue, unincorporated Bloomington. The reporting party told dispatch a female, later found to be Adriana Jimenez, was breaking items in the house and assaulting people. Shortly thereafter, two deputies arrived together and contacted Sergio Mendoza. Sergio attempted to strike a deputy and a struggle ensued. While both deputies struggled with him on the ground, Adriana ran up behind them and repeatedly struck and kicked both deputies in the head and body. Several other people confronted the deputies, including Jose Banuelos, Modesto Banuelos, Juan Mendoza, and Alcala Briseno, in an apparent attempt to free Sergio from the deputies’ custody, and a large crowd formed.
