A man accused of taking a San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy's gun and shooting at her now faces federal charges after avoiding a conviction in state case last year.
The U.S. District Attorney's Office announced Wednesday federal charges against a man who was caught on camera assaulting a San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy, then stealing and firing her own weapon at her. Ari Aki Young, 26, was charged with possessing a stolen gun and discharging a gun during a violent crime, among other crimes.
The charges include violations of the Hobbs Act, which deals with robbery or extortion that affects interstate commerce. According to Rahmani, adding the Hobbs Act violation to the theft of a weapon is not normal and might suggest a weakness in the government's case. Typically Hobbs Act cases have stronger ties to interstate commerce, like using a phone to extort someone for money, which this case might lack, he said.
