Last Tuesday in parking lot 15, a fight broke out in mid-day. An anonymous call was made to the AVC Sheriff’s Department the next day.

Deputy Miguel Ruiz investigated the fight and found that the suspect was a 19-year-old male who was on probation for receiving stolen property.

With the help of the college, the Sheriffs were able to track down the suspect’s class schedule and arrested him in class.

Due to certain education codes, the Sheriffs were able to arrest him even though they weren’t physically present to witness the fight. He was booked at Lancaster station.
