A Joshua Tree man was arrested for throwing rocks at people and business windows in Yucca Valley Sunday morning. According to a Sheriff’s report, a man, later identified as Randy Anderson, 47, threw a rock at a man who was sitting in his car in the 56100 block of Highway 62 about 7:15 Sunday morning. The report states that Anderson then started swearing and yelling at the victim, then kicked the door of the parked car, smashed its window with a rock. The witness said Anderson then started walking eastbound on the highway and threw a rock through the window of a fitness facility. Witnesses also said Anderson apparently fell down and injured himself, as he was bleeding profusely from his head.

Deputies determined that windows to multiple businesses were broken.
