A Yucca Valley transient was arrested Wednesday, accused of threatening to run over another transient with a stolen front-end loader. According to Sheriff’s Deputy Jimmy Delgado, Anthony Blougouras called deputies about 8 p.m. to report that Dominic Feole, 42, was trying to steal a front-end loader from a construction yard near Sunland Drive and Wamego Trail in Yucca Valley.
Blougouras said Feole had started the tractor and threatened to run over his homeless encampment and kill him. When Delgado arrived, Feole was sitting in the tractor’s driver’s seat. Delgado determined that Feole had an outstanding out-of-county arrest warrant on unrelated drug charges. Dominic Feole was arrested for investigation of attempted vehicle theft and on his warrant, booked into the Morongo Basin Jail, with his bail set at $55,000.
