YUCCA VALLEY MAN ACCUSED OF ATTEMPTED MURDER

A Yucca Valley man was arrested Wednesday, accused of torturing and imprisoning a woman last week. According to a Sheriff’s report, Steven Perez, 35, lured the victim to an apartment in the 7400 block of Bannock Trail in Yucca Valley. Once inside the apartment, Perez beat the woman and bound her hands and feet. She was locked inside a room in the apartment, and the windows were barricaded to keep her from escaping. Perez then allegedly burned and tortured her before releasing her about 12 hours later. The victim went to the Hi-Desert Emergency Department about 9 p.m. Wednesday for help with her injuries. Deputies served multiple search warrants at locations in Yucca Valley and recovered evidence related to the crime. Deputies found Steven Perez about 10:30 a.m. Thursday and arrested him for investigation of attempted murder; he was booked into the Morongo Basin Jail with his bail set at $250,000.
