On March 21, at around 4:45 p.m. neighbors reported a loud incident of domestic violence in the 7100 block of Florida Ave in Twentynine Palms to San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Deputies.
Responding deputies report that Bernard Washington, 25, is alleged to have been in a fight with his gilfriend at the residence. They say that Washington destroyed a bathroom cabinet at the victim’s house, before trapping her in the bathroom and throwing her against a metal fixture on the wall.
