HESPERIA, Calif. – A Hesperia man was arrested after a verbal altercation that led to violence.
On Sunday, February 24, 2019, at around 9:45 a.m. deputies from the Hesperia station responded to the report of a verbal disturbance in the 18700 block of Lemon Street in the City of Hesperia. When they arrived, they learned that Austin Markey, 23, and the female victim were involved in a verbal argument due to Markey failing to help around the house. “Markey became upset and swung his arm at the victim, hitting her in the forehead with a cell phone he had in his hand,” Hesperia Sheriff’s Station Spokesman Edgar Moran said.
