Burglary, Sexual Assault Suspect, 18, Nabbed In Ontario
ONTARIO (CBSLA.com) — Police in Ontario have announced the arrest of a burglary and sexual assault suspect.
Officials said Brandon Alberto Jimenez. 18, was arrested Friday at 5:40 p.m. at his residence in Ontario.
Police believe Jimenez was the suspect in two residential burglaries, one of which culminated in a sexual assault.
