Three people were arrested following a report of suspicious flashlights in a yard in Yucca Valley. About 4:30 a.m. Friday morning, Fred Garrido, 51, of Yucca Valley, called deputies to report that he saw flashlights in his yard in the 7600 block of Warren Vista Drive. When deputies arrived, they saw two people, identified as Gary Hagood, 33, and Kelly Rumney, 35, both of Joshua Tree, sitting inside a car outside the home. The deputies recognized Hagood and knew he was a wanted felon with several active felony warrants. Hagood, who was wearing a military-style flak jacket and had a loaded handgun on his person, attempted to flee from the deputies. During the struggle to detain Hagood, a deputy punched him. Hagood sustained minor injuries during the struggle, and was treated at a local hospital prior to booking. A large amount of ammunition was found in his car. Gary Hagood was arrested for investigation of being a felon in possession of body armor, handgun, and ammunition, and for his multiple warrants, booked into the Morongo Basin Jail, with his bail set at $875,000. Kelly Rumney was well known to the deputies, as they had had multiple contacts with her when they were attempting to locate Hagood for his warrants for burglary, operating a chop shop, receiving stolen property, and grand theft. Kelly Rumney was arrested on suspicion of aiding a felon, booked into the Morongo Basin Jail, and released Friday afternoon after posting $25,000 bail.
During the investigation, deputies obtained a search warrant for the residence, and they located several guns and a stolen 2017 KTM motorcycle. The motorcycle owner was contacted and the bike was returned. The resident, Fred Garrido, is a convicted felon, and he was arrested for investigation of being a felon in possession of guns and ammunition, booked into the Morongo Basin Jail, with his bail set at $50,000.
