A 59-year-old man sought in connection with an attack in Victorville that left his girlfriend unconscious was arrested in the Ventura County city of Santa Paula, authorities said.
San Bernardino County sheriff's officials received a tip that Murray Dane Clegg was living in his motor home at the Santa Paula airport, sheriff's spokeswoman Arden Wiltshire said Sunday.
About 6:14 p.m. Saturday, Santa Paula police took Clegg into custody, said Senior Officer Ryan Smith.
Clegg was being held in the Victorville jail on suspicion of domestic violence and attempted murder, Wiltshire said.
Bail is set at $500,000 for Clegg, who is expected to be arraigned Tuesday, Wiltshire said.
San Bernardino County sheriff's officials in Victorville had sought Clegg since Thursday when it was reported that Clegg may have assaulted his girlfriend in the parking lot of the Southern California Logistics Airport.
An employee of the airport in Victorville found Clegg's girlfriend, whose name and age were not released, in the parking lot, authorities said.
The woman told sheriff's deputies that she and Clegg had been living in a motor home in the airport parking lot, according to sheriff's officials. The woman said Clegg hit her and put his hands around her neck and threatened to kill her, according to authorities.
The woman lost consciousness and woke up in the parking lot. Clegg and the motor home were gone, authorities said.
Wiltshire said a deputy from Victorville traveled Sunday to Santa Paula to confirm Clegg's identity and transport him to San Bernardino County.
