Dischner was arraigned via video on December 8 from the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga by Commissioner Ronald J. Gilbert who appointed the public defender.
The suspect entered a not guilty plea to all four counts and his next court appearance will be a pre-preliminary hearing at 8:30 a.m. on December 16 in Department S-4.
THE CASE
A media advisory from the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Station offers this account of the case against Dischner.
On December 6, shortly after 6:30 p.m., Twin Peaks deputies were dispatched to an assault with a deadly weapon call at a bar in the 29000 block of Hook Creek Road in Cedar Glen.
The reporting party told 9-1-1 dispatchers that a patron struck another patron in the face with a 16-ounce drinking glass. Witnesses and video surveillance showed the incident was unprovoked, according to the news release.
The unidentified victim sustained approximately a half dozen superficial cuts to the left side of his face and a contusion to his left eyebrow as a result of the strike. The victim was treated at the scene by San Bernardino County Fire paramedics.
The suspect left the location prior to deputy’s arrival.
THE INVESTIGATION
While deputies were investigating the initial assault with a deadly weapon case, a disturbance call was reported just a short distance away in the 29100 block of South Lane. The reporting party called 9-1-1 after hearing neighbors yelling and breaking items.
Deputies arrived on scene at about 7 p.m. and contacted Dischner and an unidentified second victim. The release indicated that Dischner was heavily intoxicated at the time deputies contacted him on South Lane.
Dischner reportedly came home and began causing a disturbance and victim #2 went outside to see if he was okay. Dischner allegedly began attacking victim #2 with a metal folding chair.
Victim #2 attempted to protect himself however, he was struck numerous times to the head and body. The attack also appeared to be unprovoked.
Victim #2 sustained swelling to his right hand, laceration to his right inside upper lip, and redness/swelling to the back of his head. He was treated at the scene by paramedics.
Deputies found Dischner matched the description of the subject from the bar attack and conducted an in-field line up. He was positively identified by a witness as the suspect from the bar incident.
THE ARREST
Dischner was arrested for two charges of PC 245(a)(1), assault with a deadly weapon and transported to the West Valley Detention Center for booking.
