LOCATION: 17000 Block of Jasmine Street, Victorville

SUMMARY:
On Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 8:45am, while a Victor Valley Transit Authority (VVTA) bus driver assisted disabled passengers off an ADA bus, Angel Bourne attempted to enter the bus’s driver’s compartment.
A struggle ensued between the bus driver and Bourne for control of the driver’s compartment, in an apparent attempt by Bourne to steal the bus. Bourne eventually entered the rear of the bus and refused to exit. The incident was quickly reported to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department and Deputy Trevor James of the Transit Operations Division; Victor Valley Transit Detail responded.
When Deputy James arrived, he used de-escalation tactics to gain Bourne’s compliance and arrested her for attempted carjacking. Bourne was booked into the High Desert Detention Center, where she is being held on $45,000 bail.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Deputy James at (760) 552-6800. Citizens are encouraged to report suspicious or criminal activity to their local Sheriff's Station or anonymously to We-Tip (1-800-78-Crime or www.wetip.com).
