TEHACHAPI ROBBERY SUSPECT BEHIND BARS

Sheriff’s deputies have arrested a 32-year-old Tehachapi man for robbing and assaulting a young victim earlier this month.

Spokesman Ray Pruitt says they had to build their case before cuffing Brian Yearwood last week at his home on East Eye Street near North Mojave Drive. The young person’s identity has not been released, but he had to be treated at a local hospital for injuries sustained in the attack.
