A Yucca Valley man was arrested Monday on warrants and for possession of methamphetamine. According to a Sheriff’s report, deputies went to a home in the 55300 block of Havasu Trail in Yucca Valley about 5 p.m. to arrest Richard Salazar, 30, on his warrant. The report states that Salazar attempted to run out the home’s back door, but deputies were able to detain him. After an investigation, Richard Salazar was arrested on his warrant, which was increased to $200,000, and on suspicion of possession of methamphetamine. He was booked at the Morongo Basin Jail.
Ed. note: This story was corrected to note Richard Salazar’s correct age and residence, and to remove a reference to an earlier arrest that was for a different Richard Salazar.
