Jurupa Man Accused of Domestic Violence
Riverside County sheriff’s deputies arrested 24-year-old Garnett Junior Reid of Winchester after officials said he beat up his girlfriend and led deputies on a high-speed chase. According to this news report, Reid was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, reckless driving and evading a peace officer after an incident which began at the Motel 6 in the 6800 block of Valley Way in Jurupa.
Deputies reportedly responded to a call at the motel and found Reid’s GMC Yukon accelerating away from the motel’s parking lot. Police asked him to stop, but Reid did not comply. Reid led officials on a high-speed chase on the Moreno Valley (60) Freeway. Reid finally surrendered on the Interstate 215 near the junction of Route 74. The victim reportedly suffered visible injuries to her face, but declined medical treatment.
Police officers and prosecutors are aggressively pursuing domestic violence cases because a number of special interest groups committed to fighting against domestic violence are providing a lot of funding to law enforcement and district attorneys. The way officers deal with domestic violence cases has changed drastically over the years. Previously, a police officer would never arrest someone unless there was visible and obvious evidence that serious physical abuse was taking place. But now, even a visible bruise is sufficient to make a domestic violence arrest. In this Jurupa case, the female victim was injured, but declined medical treatment, which means it was not a serious injury.
Never admit guilt in any domestic violence case without talking to an experienced and knowledgeable Riverside criminal defense attorney. If you or someone you know has been accused of domestic violence, please call the Law Office of Stephen R. Brodsky for a free consultation.
