SUMMARY: On Friday, July 29, 2022, a Deputy Sheriff from the Fontana Station responded to a call for service in the 10400 block of Cedar Avenue, unincorporated Bloomington. The reporting party reported the suspect, later identified as Precious Cox, age 32, a transient who frequents Bloomington, blocked the door, refused to allow customers to enter a business, and refused to leave when asked. The first arriving deputy found Cox inside the business and tried to reason with her. Cox still refused to leave, and the deputy tried to arrest her for trespassing. Cox violently struggled with the deputy for several minutes and struck her. With the assistance of a store employee, Cox was eventually handcuffed. The deputy received minor injuries because of this incident and required medical care. She was treated at a local hospital and later released to continue her recovery.
After receiving medical attention, Cox was booked into the West Valley Detention Center for using violence towards an executive officer and battery on a law enforcement officer requiring medical treatment.
