WHITTIER -- A Whittier father and son who allegedly attacked a man including unleashing the family pit bull on the victim were charged today in separate cases, the District Attorney’s office announced.
Richard Rudy Aragon, 51 (dob 11-6-59), is scheduled to be arraigned sometime today at Whittier Superior Court. Aragon is being held on $130,000 bail. He was charged in case VA120440 with one count of mayhem and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, a pit bull, likely to cause great bodily injury. If convicted, Aragon faces up to 12 years in state prison.
On Saturday around 9 a.m., Aragon’s 17-year-old son allegedly confronted a 43-year-old man and demanded his wallet. The man refused and the pair began fighting in front of Crestwood Apartments in the 8900 block of Painter Avenue, near Lambert Road, Whittier Police Department said.
Aragon allegedly came to the boy's assistance and released the pit bull, who bit both ear tips off the victim. The suspects also allegedly punched and kicked the victim while the dog attacked, police said. Aragon and his son, whose name is not being released because he is a juvenile, were later arrested.
The juvenile, (dob 3-8-94), also was charged today with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, a foot, with force likely to inflict great bodily injury, one count of attempted robbery and one count of witness intimidation. He is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday at Los Padrinos Juvenile Court in case VJ40303.
