San Bernardino, CA - 32-year-old Crestline attempted murder suspect — Kyle Allen Thompson – who is being held on $1 million bail will be screened for mental health court following a disposition/reset hearing in Superior Court.
The hearing — before Judge R. Glenn Yabuno — was held Wednesday morning, March 4, in Department S-17. It has been rescheduled until March 11 at 8:30 a.m. in Department S-8.
Thompson remains in custody on $50,000 bail at the Glen Helen Detention Center in Devore.
THE ORIGINAL INCIDENT
On Tuesday, February 17, deputies from the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Station were dispatched to a report of a domestic disturbance in the 700 block of Deer Trail in Crestline.
Emergency dispatchers were told by an unidentified female victim that her boyfriend was refusing to leave and was trying to prevent her from calling authorities. Thompson had left the residence by the time deputies arrived at the residence.
During an interview with deputies, the victim said she had been attacked with a wooden, baton style weapon. The victim also told deputies Thompson attempted to strangle her, according to a media release issued by the Twin Peaks Station.
SUSPECT’S EVENTUAL ARREST
During an area check, deputies spotted Thompson as he fled on foot. Deputies began a pursuit and Thompson managed to elude capture that night. However, deputies kept the residence under observation for most of the day on Wednesday, February 18, anticipating Thompson’s possible return.
On Thursday, February 19, Thompson was spotted by deputies at about 1:23 a.m. outside a residence in the 700 block of Big Oak Drive. Thompson again led deputies on another foot pursuit through the backyards of several nearby residences. Thompson hid under the cover of darkness near the area of Crest Forest Drive and Big Oak Drive.
Sheriff’s Aviation (40-King) assisted with the pursuit and directed deputies to where Thompson was hiding. The suspect was taken into custody at 1:48 a.m. without further incident. (53)
