Attempted Burglary of Ranger Residence

In the early morning hours of Saturday, June 10th, a man attempted to enter the ranger residence at Indian Cove by smashing in a window with a gardening tool. One of the residents was at home asleep during the incident. A dog in the house started barking just prior to the window breaking, awakening the occupant and scaring away the suspect. The resident called 911, and San Bernadino County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded, as there were no rangers on duty at the time of the attempted break-in. The deputies were able to locate the would-be burglar at a nearby picnic table, drinking a Nalgene bottle full of beer, and arrested him for felony attempted burglary.
