Man Arrested After Extensive Air, Ground Search

One man was arrested after an extensive air and ground search in Lemon Grove, police said.

At 8:38 Friday, Lemon Grove Deputies looking for Julius Weatherspoon responded to the Main Street Trolley Station area to check for him. Weatherspoon was wanted for assault with a deadly weapon, the San Diego Sheriff’s Department said.

Just before 9 p.m., Weatherspoon was seen in a barber shop on the 7900 block of Broadway, officials said. As they worked to establish a perimeter, Weatherspoon slipped out a back door.

Deputies, ASTREA and a Sheriff’s Canine all helped in the search for Weatherspoon, the SDSO said. Search crews tracked him to a small shed in front of an apartment building on the 7600 block of Pacific Avenue. They took him into custody and arrested him.
