Hemet, Calif.; At 2:51 Hemet Valley Incidents On-Scene Reporter Aric Bell reported this incident began as a suspected bank robbery that was about to occur. The call came from the manager of the Provident Bank, who noticed suspicious activity from two male subjects who were sitting outside the bank in a burgundy truck.
When officers arrived and began to detain the suspects, a fight broke out, during which one of the two suspects, who only had one handcuff on, scuffled with one or more officers. One of the officers had one or more bones broken in has hand, possibly a finger.
One suspect was immediately subdued, however the other suspect managed to flee from officers on foot, while still handcuffed on one hand. The suspect’s fleeing reportedly led to a several hours long “Lock-Down” at some schools while other area schools activated their “Shelter-In-Place” protocols.
As of this report, all school Lock-Downs or Shelter In Place Modes had been lifted, however the outstanding suspect has yet to be located.
A search of the suspect’s truck yielded weapons and suspected methamphetamines.
This incident is active and ongoing. Check back often.
