A man was arrested for attempted murder in the City of Antioch after allegedly setting a tend on fire with the victim inside in the City of Brentwood.
According to the Brentwood Police Department, on May 1, 2025, the Brentwood Police received a report from an individual stating that the suspect had made criminal threats to harm the reporting party/victim. The reporting party also alleged that the suspect brandished weapons and, at one point, intentionally set a tent on fire while the victim was inside.
Brentwood Police said Monday that at this time, the case remains under active investigation by our Detectives and we will not be releasing any additional information.
The Antioch Police Department took to social media to announce the arrest over the weekend, including providing more information.
We’re just having a good time. Arresting criminals per usual. This little firebug lit his ex-girlfriend’s tent on fire while she was inside . The victim was okay , but there were now attempted murder charges in the works. @brentwoodpd put out a BOLO for his arrest and the next day he made his way to our city. When he stopped to get some car parts, he was unaware that his arrest was already imminent. @cocosheriff helicopter STARR 3 was overhead watching the car while a team waited out of view. When he attempted to get into his car to leave we swooped in with overwhelming force. Seeing he was surrounded and K9 Boss was watching his every move, he surrendered without incident. K9 Nox conducted a firearm search inside the vehicle to make sure there were no guns hidden inside. Another felon of the streets. Justice for another victim. Teamwork makes the dream work.
Neither Antioch Police or Brentwood Police released any additional information on the arrest.
