Man, 48, Arrested After Allegedly Shooting Passerby In Buttocks With Arrow

PICO RIVERA (CBSLA.com)  —  Authorities have arrested a 48-year-old man they said shot a passerby with an arrow Friday evening and kept police at bay for more than six hours in Pico Rivera.

The suspect, now identified as Armando Marron, was taken into custody after a SWAT team shot a tear gas canister into the man's home early Saturday morning.

A 23-year-old man was walking in the 8500 block of Hasty Avenue about 10:45 p.m. Friday when he was shot in the buttocks by an arrow, said Lt. Alex Villanueva of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Pico Rivera Station.

The victim led authorities to a home where the suspect lives with his mother and aunt, Villanueva said.

Officials said they recovered two arrows -- one from the victim and another from a nearby house where people had gathered out front.

Police said the arrow seemed to be aimed in the direction of the gathered crowd.

After deputies surrounded the suspect's home, he refused to surrender, Villanueva said.

Just before 5 a.m., SWAT fired the tear gas inside the home and Marron ran out.

He was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and possession of methamphetamine, Villanueva said.

Marron is being held at the Inmate Reception Center in downtown Los Angeles in lieu of $30,000 bail and is due in court in Downey on Tuesday, according to sheriff's online inmate records.

Villanueva said Marron has been the subject of several previous complaints/disturbances and was well known to police prior to the alleged arrow attack.

Authorities said the man has a long history involving possession of a deadly weapon, forgery, burglary, reckless driving and methamphetamine possession, the lieutenant said.
