A Yucca Valley man was arrested Tuesday (August 17) accused of burglary following an investigation that involved three separate law enforcement agencies. According to Sheriff’s reports, Deputies responded Monday (August 16) around 3:15 a.m. to a triggered burglary alarm at a construction company in the 56700 block of Twentynine Palms Highway in Yucca Valley. Arriving deputies cleared the area, discovering that the suspect, later identified as Michael Dean, 28, had fled on foot prior to their arrival.
