| Narrative: | ||||
| On October 10, 2026, deputies responded to a disturbance at a business in Thousand Oaks in the 100 block of N Moorpark Road involving an adult male and several juveniles. The investigation revealed that a physical altercation had occurred between juveniles inside the facility. Approximately 10 minutes after the altercation was dispersed, an adult male, later identified as (S)Ronnie Lee Stoner, allegedly confronted one of the juveniles involved in the earlier incident. Deputies reviewed witness-recorded cell phone video and surveillance footage provided by the business. The footage allegedly showed Stoner aggressively confronting a 12-year-old juvenile, attempting to headbutt him, and grabbing the juvenile by the front of his shirt. Several individuals intervened in an attempt to separate Stoner from the juvenile. The juvenile did not sustain any injuries. The investigation also revealed that Stoner allegedly pushed and repeatedly poked a 17-year-old juvenile employee in the throat while the employee attempted to retreat to the facility’s employee lounge. On 10/15/26, Stoner was arrested for assault likely to produce great bodily injury, battery, and child abuse. The investigation is ongoing. If anyone has additional information regarding this case please contact Detective Nungester at 805-371-8344. |
