Five Arrested and Two Firearms Recovered During Multi-Agency Operation
-
Last weekend our Street Crime Attack Team, in conjunction with the San Bernardino County Probation Department, conducted a probation compliance operation in the City of Rialto. Several search warrants were served during the operation, each related to various violent crimes over the last few weeks. Evidence from each of the crimes, including gang paraphernalia, ammunition, and two firearms, were seized as a result of the operation and a total of five arrests were made. Suspects were booked for various violations including three for PC 211 – robbery and two for illegal weapons-related charges.

Suspect sentenced to 48 + years in state prison for homicide. 
-
On February 4th, 2017, at approximately 12:50 p.m., the Rialto Police Department’s Communications Center received several calls for service regarding a car-to-car shooting in the area of Willow Avenue and Etiwanda Avenue. The victim’s vehicle was struck multiple times as it fled southbound on Willow Avenue onto Foothill Boulevard attempting to avoid the suspect vehicle.

Officers ultimately responded to the area of Rialto Avenue and Cactus Avenue where they discovered a 15-year-old male victim suffering from a gunshot wound. The victim was pronounced deceased at the scene. Detectives conducted an extensive investigation and identified the suspect as 20-year-old Fernando Montes Palomera, a resident of the City of Rialto. For several weeks detectives worked around the clock to locate Palomera who was actively avoiding police following the incident.

On March 17th, 2017, Palomera was located while hiding in a residence in the City of Adelanto. When officers attempted to detain Palomera, he attempted to flee the residence on foot, armed with a handgun. With the assistance of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, Palomera was pursued and taken into custody without incident.

 On February 23rd, 2023, after years of continued collaboration between the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office and the Rialto Police Department, this case came to its conclusion. Palomera was sentenced to 48 years and four months in state prison for homicide.

Join us in welcoming our newest Animal Control Officer Rudy Zepeda!
-
Rudy grew up in the City of West Covina and is looking to eventually follow in his family’s footsteps as a law enforcement officer. Growing up, he owned several pets including tortoises, snakes, chickens, dogs, and lizards. Rudy's combined passion for animals and law enforcement, makes him a great fit for our Animal Control Officer position. He is eager to start his new journey with the Rialto Police Department and looks forward to serving our community.

Fun fact: he likes to work on classic cars and owns a 1946 Chevy Fleetline. Rudy is restoring his classic car with the assistance of his father and hopes to show it off at the annual “Run Whatcha Brung Car Show” event!
