TWIN PEAKS, Calif. — Deputies arrested more than two dozen additional people after finding seven mannequins hanging from different locations with the names of law enforcement officers and bullseye targets painted below their names, sheriff’s officials said Thursday.
Sheriff’s deputies responded on Feb. 18 to calls of the mannequins hanging in various locations in the Crestline and Cedarpines Park communities, officials said in a news release.
Sarah Stewart, 36, and Erin Elder, 47, were arrested at a residence in the 300 block of Davos Drive after witnesses reported seeing them allegedly load mannequins into a U-Haul truck.
Six of the mannequins had names of current or former deputies assigned to the Twin Peaks sheriff’s station, and one had a probation officer’s name, officials said.
On Monday, deputies investigated households in Crestline and Valley of Enchantment believed to be connected with the mannequins. A total of 27 people with active warrants were arrested on charges ranging from drug-related crimes to assault on a peace officer, officials said. They were transported and booked into West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga.
Anyone with information about the mannequins can call the Sheriff’s Twin Peaks Station at 909-336-0687 or WeTip at 800-78-CRIME (27463).
