A convicted felon was arrested after pistol-whipping his neighbor and being found in possession of 17 firearms. 

According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, the victim – whose identity has not been released – was riding his dirt bike in front of his residence in the 20100 block of Piedmont Drive in Apple Valley just before 8:45 p.m. on Thursday when he was flagged down by his neighbor. 

The neighbor, identified by deputies as 42-year-old Kenny Lattinville, allegedly pulled out a handgun and pistol-whipped the victim, who left his dirt bike in the roadway and ran back to his home to call 911. 

He sustained “a visible injury consistent with the assault,” SBSD said. 

Responding deputies quickly contacted Lattinville, who was said to be standing in his front yard with a rifle and a handgun yelling towards the victim’s residence, and were able to arrest him without any further incident. 

“A search warrant was authored for Lattinville’s residence…inside the residence, deputies located and seized 17 firearms,” law enforcement officials stated. 

Lattinville, a convicted felon, was booked into the High Desert Detention Center for assault with a firearm and being a felon in possession of a firearm. He is being held in lieu of $140,000 bail. 

Anyone who may have information regarding the incident is asked to contact Victor Valley Sheriff’s Station Detective S. Bowman by calling 760-552-6800.

Video shows a wild street takeover in downtown Los Angeles coming to a fiery conclusion overnight. 

Preliminary information from stringer service OnSceneTV indicates the takeover occurred at the intersection of 18^th and Main streets before 3 a.m. Saturday. 

A Log Angeles Police Department spokesperson confirmed the location and stated that upwards of 50 cars were present.

Officers were originally dispatched on calls of fireworks being lit, the spokesperson added.

The sideshow, which was attended by hundreds of people, ended with two vehicles ablaze in the middle of the intersection; it was not immediately clear if they were deliberately set on fire or if they caught fire due to another source. 

Traffic was seen maneuvering around the inferno and while some motorists honked their horns, others seemed to drive by as if all were normal. 

Los Angeles Fire Department crews attempting to extinguish the flames were hampered by the crowds and vehicles, who blocked their access to the burning vehicles, but they were eventually able to put the fire out within ten minutes. 

No arrests were made, LAPD said. What was left of both cars was impounded.

Police are searching for an attempted rape suspect who targeted a woman in Canoga Park.

He then fled the area, running eastbound on Roscoe Boulevard.

The suspect is described as a 25 to 30-year-old Hispanic man with black hair and brown eyes. He stands 6 feet tall and weighs around 200 pounds.
