DOMESTIC BATTERY ARREST IN TWENTYNINE PALMS

A Twentynine Palms man was arrested Thursday night after he threatened his girlfriend and dragged her around the yard by her hair. According to a Sheriff’s report, a woman called deputies about 6:20 p.m. to report her boyfriend, Ricardo Cendejas, 45, took her dog into the desert and said he was going to leave it there to die. She also told deputies that he told her he was going to shoot up her workplace. Cendejas then came back, grabbed her face, took her car keys, and grabbed her by the hair and dragged her around the yard. When deputies arrived, Cendejas attempted to flee, but was captured after a short distance. Ricardo Cendejas was arrested for investigation of domestic battery, booked at the West Valley Detention Center, with his bail set at $25,000.
