MV Voice articles usually say the town of residence of a suspected criminal. They didn't this time.
Of what town is he a resident?

Great that this woman was able to break free and run to a neighbor.
I have said it dozens of times when teaching self-defense, based on what I have heard from many police officers and other crime experts over the years and what little there are for actual statistics: Things almost always get much worse if you go with someone who is trying to take you somewhere by force to a secondary location. At least one former police officer I know suggests that your chances of survival are better jumping out of a moving vehicle onto the street than going with the criminal.
This woman is most likely MUCH better off for having escaped. As I have told thousands of people in this area taking self-defense classes from me, unless you need to stay to protect someone else, try to get away!
And thank you MVPD for arresting the attacker.

@Resident, I heard from a friend that the alleged perpetrator was a Blossom Valley homeowner. They're a dastardly bunch, and City Council needs to do something about it!

@Resident: We've asked, but MVPD has not yet been able to provide us with the suspect's city of residence. You're correct, if that information is available, it is our practice to include it in crime stories.
