HESPERIA • A Hesperia man spent Father's Day behind bars after he allegedly assaulted the mother of his young child and led deputies on a high-speed chase through Hesperia that ended in Victorville, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Hesperia station officials said.

The victim called 911 at about 8 p.m. Sunday to report the father of her child had shown up at her home in the 8800 block of C Avenue belligerent, according to dispatch reports. The woman reported the man — later identified as Alfred Curtis Harvey, 35, of Victorville — pushed her down to the ground as she was holding their 1-year-old daughter, causing the child to strike her head during the altercation. The woman told dispatchers Harvey left her home in a gold, 1980s El Camino and may have been under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Sheriff’s authorities confirmed Harvey may have been intoxicated.

Deputy Antonio Higuera spotted a similar vehicle near Main Street and C Avenue and attempted the perform a traffic stop, according to a release. Harvey refused to stop and instead sped off toward Interstate 15 on Main Street, Susan Rose, spokeswoman for the Hesperia station said.

Harvey drove onto northbound I-15 and exited onto Victorville streets still driving recklessly and at a high rate of speed, officials said. Harvey continued to ignore authorities commands to pull over even as the sheriff’s helicopter joined in the pursuit.

When Harvey turned north onto Mariposa Road, Higuera was able to perform a PIT maneuver which sent Harvey’s vehicle spinning and disabling the El Camino, according to reports.

Deputies were able to take Harvey into custody without further incident.
The mother and her child were taken to the hospital and later released.
Through an investigation, deputies learned Harvey was an AB 109 post-community release probationer on county probation for felony evading, Rose said. A search of court documents also shows Harvey has an extensive arrest record for a variety of offenses including vehicular manslaughter, several arrests for receiving stolen property, battery on a spouse, obstructing a peace officer, possession of a controlled substance, numerous vehicle code violations and grand theft.
