A Joshua Tree man who
allegedly threatened to shoot down the next police helicopter that flew
over his desert home was arrested after San Bernardino County Sheriff's
Department deputies raided the residence and found firearms and
marijuana plants.
Gene Richard Lombardo, 55, allegedly telephoned
the Sheriff's Department on Dec. 14 and threatened to shoot down the
helicopter, according to a statement released by the department. As a
result, the department's aviation division altered its flight courses
near Lombardo's home in the 2900 block of Wedley Road.
On
Wednesday, deputies and detectives searched Lombardo's home and found
multiple firearms along with ammunition and an indoor marijuana
cultivation operation, according to the law enforcement agency.
Lombardo
was arrested on suspicion of obstructing an officer and cultivation of
marijuana. He is being held at the West Valley Detention Center in
Rancho Cucamonga in lieu of $150,000 bail.
