APPLE VALLEY – A 37-year-old man was arrested after bizarre and out of control behavior on Monday morning.
On Monday, April 23, 2018, just before 10:00 a.m. deputies from the Apple Valley station began receiving calls regarding the suspect, later identified as Adonis Lebron, assaulting citizens for no apparent reason. When deputies arrived they learned that the Lebron entered the Kiowa Market on Kiowa and Bear Valley Roads in the Town of Apple Valley. Lebron selected a 24 ounce can of beer from the cooler, and threw the can at the store clerk. The unprovoked attack caused a severe laceration to the clerk’s nose. Lebron fled the store on foot. Deputies searched the area but were unable to locate Lebron.
At around 12:15 p.m., Lebron went into the Food-4-Less parking lot in the 20800 block of Bear Valley Road. “Lebron approached an adult male who was seated in his work truck,” Apple Valley Sheriff’s Station officials said. “Lebron made small talk about a job, but suddenly opened the driver’s door and tried to pull the victim from the vehicle.” The stunned victim struggled to stay inside of the truck and was able to start the truck and drive away from Lebron. After his failed attempt on an attack of the driver who fled, Lebron set eyes on an adult male employee at the Food-4-Less who was collecting shopping carts. He walked in his direction, pulled the employee’s cell phone from his back pocket and ran. The store employee confronted Lebron, who charged him and threw the phone at him, striking him.
The employee called the sheriff’s department to report the incident. Deputies responded to the scene and located Lebron as he attempted to flee south through the parking lot. He was taken into custody and was booked into the High Desert Detention Center for Mayhem, Battery Causing Serious Bodily Injury, Assault, Robbery and Attempted Carjacking. His bail is set at $350,000 and his next scheduled court date is April 25, 2018, at Victorville Superior Court.
