Authorities rescued an injured hiker over the weekend from Mount Baldy after he reportedly veered off the trail and got caught in an avalanche.
On Monday, the Fontana Sheriff’s Station reported that at approximately 10:47 a.m. Saturday, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Aviation received a “Personal Locator Beacon” signal, indicating a person was in possible distress on the mountain.
The beacon provided a GPS signal location and Flight Officer Deputy Jacob Hernandez and pilot Reserve Deputy Ted Byerly, of 40King4, responded and found the man.
Bleeding and injured, the man was in the Baldy Bowl at about the 8,500-foot level. The highest elevation in the area is 9,992 feet, according to the Angeles National Forest.
An Orange County man who was part of a crew that committed a series of armed robberies at Southern California cell phone stores has been sentenced to 114 months in federal prison, the Justice Department announced today.
Anthony Wimbley, 28, of Irvine, was sentenced on Monday by United States District Judge Jesus G. Bernal. Wimbley pleaded guilty in September 2020 to one count of Hobbs Act robbery and one count of using a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.
Wimbley’s sentencing was announced today after a federal jury in Fort Worth, Texas late Wednesday convicted another member of Wimbley’s crew – Edward Eugene Robinson, 49, of Long Beach – of conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery, two counts of interfering with commerce by robbery, and two counts of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence. Robinson also faces criminal charges in Wimbley’s federal case in Riverside.
