At 4:08 p.m. the vehicle was located on Alice Street south of 14th Street in Highland, parked in a residential neighborhood. Shortly after the vehicle was located, Troy Eugene Decker, age 35 of Beaumont, was observed to enter the vehicle and leave north on Alice. Additional deputies from the Highland Police Department and the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Central Station responded to assist.

At 14th Street and Alice a Deputy from the Central Station pulled up to the intersection with his emergency lights activated as a Deputy was traveling behind Decker, also with the emergency lights activated. Decker stopped at the intersection and accelerated in reverse. Decker again stopped and accelerated forward toward the Central Station Deputy. The Deputy fired at Decker striking him one time in the arm. Decker continued north on Alice, east on 15th and came to a stop at 15th and Vine Street. Decker was taken into custody without further incident.
