In a distressing incident on Saturday, January 20, 2024, at around 3:44 p.m., the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department swiftly responded to reports of an armed man attempting to steal a car in the vicinity of A Street and Seventh Street.

A female shopper at the Guadalajara Meat Market became aware of the situation when she heard the sound of dogs barking. Curious, she decided to investigate, only to find Dwight Brown, a male individual, seated in the driver’s seat of her vehicle, according to investigators.

When the victim confronted Brown and demanded that he exit the vehicle, he responded violently, assaulting her and striking her multiple times, as reported by the sheriff’s department.
