Jeffrey Lyle Olney
SAN BERNARDINO – Very early on the Sunday morning of September 25th, a 19-year-old female had an argument with her boyfriend and drove off to a church parking lot in Grand Terrace, presumably to cool off.
As she sat in her locked vehicle, someone broke the driver’s side window, got into the car and began to sexually assault her.
The victim was able to escape and ran to a nearby gas station to call 911. The information given by the victim helped police identify 34-year-old Joshua Steven Medlock as the one responsible for this incident.
It took a few weeks of surveillance and interviews before police served a search warrant on a residence in Mentone and subsequently arrested Medlock and charged him with carjacking and sexual assault.
In addition, 52-year-old Jeffrey Lyle Olney, a sex offender who was out of compliance, also lived at the residence and was arrested.
