A 20-year-old Yucca Valley man was arrested Monday, accused of assaulting and threatening another man. According to a Sheriff’s report, a contractor was at a home in the 55800 block of Mountain View Avenue when he said the resident’s grandson, identified as Josiah Fisher, punched him in the face. The victim told deputies he was trying to call the Sheriff’s Department to report the assault when Fisher allegedly stole his cell phone to prevent him from making the call. After an investigation, Josiah Fisher was arrested on suspicion of attempting to dissuade a witness, booked into the Morongo Basin Jail, with his bail set at $25,000.
