Silverado Student Who Assaulted His Girlfriend Taken into Custody for Kidnapping Last Week

VICTORVILLE – The 18-year-old former Silverado High School student who was arrested last month for assaulting his girlfriend while on the school’s campus was again taken into custody for kidnapping the same victim last Thursday.

Nathaniel Saul Macias, who was a Silverado High School student at the time was arrested on Wednesday, September 5, 2018, at around 12:45 p.m. after assaulting his girlfriend. Authorities said that the two were involved in a verbal altercation when Macias grabbed the victim’s phone. The victim struggled to get her phone back and Macias kicked her several times. Macias fled from the campus but was located a short time later. He was arrested and booked into jail for Misdemeanor battery.

On Friday, September 7, 2018, Macias appeared via jail video at the Victorville Superior Court and a not guilty plea was made on his behalf. During a pretrial hearing on Wednesday, September 12, 2018, Macias was released on his own recognizance and he is scheduled to appear at the Victorville Superior Court on March 21, 2019.

On Thursday, October 4, 2018, Macias returned to the Silverado High School campus. He and the 17-year-old friend (victim) were sitting inside his vehicle. Due to Macias’ prior incident at the school, he was not allowed to be on campus. “School security and a Probation officer began to approach Macias’ car,” said Victorville Sheriff’s Station Spokeswoman Mara Rodriguez. “Macias saw the two and sped out of the parking lot, with the student in the car. The student reportedly asked Macias to let her out of the car several times, as she was frightened and did not want to be in the car.”

Macias drove several blocks as the victim asked to be let out of the vehicle several times. Macias was taken into custody near Richie’s Diner, in the 14200 block of  Valley Center Drive in the City of Victorville. The victim was not injured. Macias was booked into jail and was detained, with no charges filed by the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s office at this time. He was released on Tuesday, October 9, 2018, at around 5:22 p.m. with no court date pending at this time.
