MURRIETAÂ – A 39-year-old man was arrested in a domestic violence incident last month in Temecula, authorities announced today.
Ty Rivers of Menifee was arrested on suspicion of attacking his spouse on March 31.
On that day, deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s Southwest station responded to a residence in the 28600 block of Old Town Front Street at 6:47 p.m., where they located Rivers’ spouse. The victim was taken to a hospital to be treated for moderate but non-life-threatening injuries.
Deputies allegedly witnessed Rivers fleeing the scene on his motorcycle. Investigators later learned that Rivers was a member of “an outlaw motorcycle gang” who was known to carry firearms, according to the department.
Authorities obtained an arrest warrant, and the sheriff’s Fugitive Warrant Enforcement Team located Rivers in the 38100 block of Silver Fox Court in Murrieta at 3:37 p.m. Thursday.
He was booked into the Cois Byrd Detention Center in Riverside on suspicion of domestic violence and strangulation and was being held on $500,000 bail.
Anyone with information about the alleged crime was urged to contact Deputy Weber at 951-696-3000.
