Man Held After Alleged Break-In and Chase
A man violated a restraining order by climbing into his ex-wife’s attic in Glen Avon, authorities said Thursday. After he crashed through into her garage, he fled from Riverside County sheriff’s deputies, was shot at and captured, authorities said.
Antonio Martinez, 43, was arrested near the home he entered Wednesday in the 9200 block of Melissa Circle, officials said. Martinez’s ex-wife reported noise in her attic, where deputies say they found Martinez. He fled in an SUV, trying to hit deputies, a sheriff’s spokesman said. A deputy fired at Martinez, but it was unclear whether he was hit.
Martinez was booked into Riverside County Jail on suspicion of attempted murder of a peace officer.
