A Twentynine Palms man was arrested Monday, accused of assault. About 3:40 p.m. Monday, a Twentynine Palms code enforcement officer called Sheriff’s deputies because a man was walking near the intersection of Highway 62 and Oasis Avenue and violently swinging a pipe at passing vehicles and hitting street signs. The officer said that the man, later identified as Alfred Espinosa, 33, swung the pipe at his vehicle, and that he had to swerve out of the way to avoid being hit. Alfred Espinosa was arrested for investigation of assault, booked into the Morongo Basin Jail, with his bail set at $50,000.
