MET Deputies Make Arrest
Thursday, July 4th at 8:35 P.M., San Bernardino
County Sheriff Deputies assigned to the Multiple
Enforcement Team (MET) at the Highland Police Department were dispatched to
the 7400 block of Elm Street in Highland. The Team assisted CalFire personnel
who were responding to a report of a palm tree on fire at the location. The MET
Deputies assisted with crowd control at the apartment complex while the fire
department personnel extinguished the fire.
Originally,
the Deputies were contacted by a citizen who reported the suspect, Jeff Reeder,
had brandished a firearm at several citizens. When the MET Deputies went to
speak to Reeder a physical altercation occurred with one of the Deputies.
Reeder reached for a loaded handgun that was concealed inside his waistband. A
second Deputy was able to grab the handgun and disarm Reeder. Reeder broke free
from the Deputies and fled on foot but was arrested after a short foot chase
through the apartment complex.
