On September 30, 2011, at about 2:13 AM, the La Mesa Police Department responded to a call of a Domestic Violence Assault that was occurring in the 5000 block of Thorne Dr., La Mesa. The female victim met officers outside as they arrived. The officers discovered that during an argument, the suspect kicked the victim in the abdomen, then pinned her down on the sofa and used his hands to strangle her to the point of her not being able to breathe. The victim almost lost consciousness.
Officers attempted to call the suspect outside, but he refused. The suspect barricaded himself inside the residence. An SDSO canine officer was requested. After numerous attempts to have the suspect surrender and come outside, the canine was deployed inside the home. The canine found the suspect hiding in a closet and bit and pulled at him and his clothing, allowing officers to make the arrest. The suspect sustained scratches to his back. He was transported to Grossmont Hospital with minor injuries, prior to being booked into County Jail. The victim did not seek medical treatment.
The suspect is Daniel Guzman, age 51, from La Mesa. He was booked into County Jail for Assault with Force Likely to Produce Great Bodily Injury and Resisting Arrest.
