A hi-desert man was arrested on suspicion of multiple charges of burglary and indecent exposure in several cities, dating back to April.
On Monday (February 26), Anthony Grigley, 66, was contacted by Sheriff’s Deputies assigned to the Morongo Basin Station near Border Ave. and Golden St. in Joshua Tree. The Sheriff’s office declined to specify the nature of the contact, but Grigley was arrested at around 9:30 p.m.
Grigley was arrested on suspicion of several counts of burglary, car theft, vandalism, trespassing, shoplifting, being under the influence of a controlled substance and indecent exposure. Court documents show that many of the criminal acts are alleged to have occurred on April 19th and 20th of 2023 in Yucca Valley, leading to three charges of burglary, three charges of vandalism, and one charge of indecent exposure all stemming from that two-day period.
Grigley is currently being held at the West Valley Detention Center on $120,000 bail.
In 2018, Grigley was arrested for investigation into a burglary at the Joshua Tree Retreat Center’s bookstore.
