Man arrested for investigation into burglary, stolen vehicle in Johnson Valley

A convicted felon used a stranger’s house as his parole address, and was arrested for investigation into burglarizing the house and storing stolen vehicle in the yard.

On Monday (June 3) at 8:45 p.m., a neighbor saw a group of strangers on a property in the 51000 block of Ocotillo Road in Johnson Valley. San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies contacted the owner, who said that he had not been there in a year, and that no one had permission to be there.

Deputies responded to the property, and reported speaking with Adam Webster, 35. Webster is currently on probation, after pleading no contest to felony evasion charges related to a 13-mile motorcycle pursuit he led in 2022.

Deputies report that Webster had provided the address of the stranger’s house on Ocotillo Road to the county as his probation address. Deputies say that a 12 gauge shotgun and several antiques were found missing from the home, and that a stolen UHaul box truck was found on the property.

Adam Webster was arrested on suspicion of burglary, possession of a stolen vehicle, and was booked into the West Valley Detention Center without bail.
