A Southern California man was arrested for assault in May. Now, police are accusing his victim of domestic violence
Police in Apple Valley say the victim of a May assault is now a suspect in a domestic violence case that took place just before he was attacked.
Authorities responded to a reported assault in-progress in the 21000 block of Outer Highway 18 South on Tuesday, May 14. When deputies arrived, they found the victim, identified as Alphonso Deshawn Lee Faulks, suffering from multiple injuries.
Faulks was treated at a trauma center before being released.
The suspect in that alleged assault, Frankie Devaughn Lucas Jr., fled the scene but was located on May 22 and arrested. He was later released on bail.
Further investigations into the incident revealed that Lucas allegedly assaulted Faulks after Faulks had committed an act of domestic violence against a woman, police said.
Police said that domestic violence incident began at Thunderbird Park around 8:30 p.m on May 13, the night before Lucas allegedly assaulted Lucas. The act of domestic violence lasted throughout the night and occurred in multiple locations.
Authorities arrested Faulks on Monday and later charged with a felony for corporal injury to spouse or cohabitant and a misdemeanor for battery on a spouse or cohabitant. He’s being held on $100,000 bail.
There was no word on whether Lucas had been cleared of criminal wrongdoing.
