The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office has filed two counts of assault with a deadly weapon against Jacob Daniel Bracken (Age 38).
CASE SYNOPSIS
On June 1, 2020, the Upland Police Department was monitoring a peaceful protest in their city. The police officers were notified by protestors of a potentially life-threatening incident. The officers immediately investigated the incident. Bracken was arrested by the Upland Police Department, and the case was forwarded to our office for filing consideration.
After a review of the case, our office has filed two counts of violations of section 245(a)(2) of the California Penal Code. This section specifies:
Penal Code Section 245(a)(2)
Any person who commits an assault upon the person of another with a firearm shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years, or in a county jail for not less than six months and not exceeding one year, or by both a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and imprisonment.
This incident was captured on video by the peaceful protestors who cooperated with law enforcement, which is encouraging to the community. Thankfully, through the restraint of the protestors and the swift investigation by the Upland Police Department, a potential tragedy may have been avoided.
