Officers responded on January 16 to a call from the 1600 block of San Jorge Street. The complainant said Borrego and Zamarripa assaulted him and his female friend after Borrego, who had been permitted to stay at the residence, became involved in a verbal dispute over the female friend.
During the confrontation, Borrego allegedly grabbed a knife, threatened the complainant, and punched him multiple times. Zamarripa reportedly struck the female friend with a wooden stick while Borrego also punched and kicked her. Borrego then allegedly stole the female friend’s purse.
