Attack And Robbery In Sonora

Sonora, CA – Sonora Police arrested a man for robbing a woman after he allegedly attacked her.

The incident happened on Tuesday just after 7 p.m. in the 300 block of Hospital Road.  When officers arrived on the scene, they found that the female victim had visible injuries.  After questioning the woman, officers determined that she and a man she knew and had separated from, 33-year-old Anthony Trujillo, a transient, had quarreled over her alleged drug use.  The SPD says that the argument had allegedly escalated into a physical fight when Trujillo attacked the victim.  He then took more than $300 from the woman’s pocket and punched her vehicle’s windshield, cracking it.

A short time later, officers arrested Trujillo at the U.S. Post Office on South Washington Street, a few blocks from the incident site, without incident.  Officers found the stolen money hidden nearby.  Trujillo was booked into the Tuolumne County Jail on felony robbery charges.

Police report the woman refused medical attention.
