Wanted: August 2011 Archives
WEST COVINA -- Police, with the help of a police K-9, arrested two wanted men who hid from officers inside a shed early Saturday, authorities said.
Michael Braga, 51, of West Covina was booked on suspicion of weapons charges, possession of stolen property and resisting arrest, West Covina police Lt. Richard Bell said. Robert Schram, 43, of Valinda was booked on an outstanding traffic warrant and suspicion of resisting arrest.
Police had been searching for Braga for several days since possibly stolen guns were found inside his safe while he was in the process of moving out of a home in the 1900 block of South Radway Avenue, the lieutenant said. Officers spotted him near his old residence shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday.
When he saw police, Braga fled and his in a neighbor's shed, along with a second man -- later identified as Schram, Bell said.
After the men refused orders to surrender, West Covina police K-9 "Rambo" was sent in after them, he said. Braga was bitten on the arm, while Schram suffered a bite to his leg.
Both men were taken to a hospital for treatment before being booked into the West Covina Police Department's jail, Bell said.
Braga was being held in lieu of $35,000 bail and was due for arraignment Monday in West Covina Superior Court, according to county booking records.
Schram was released from jail after posting $60,000 bail and was due in West Covina Superior Court October 18.
