The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office says a Fountain Hills man faces a variety of charges following an incident in town on Saturday, Nov. 11.

It began when the man arrived at his parents’ house in the 12000 block of Fountain Hills Boulevard in a taxi he hired in the Valley. The cab driver said the man claimed he would return with the $28 fare, but never did.

The man allegedly confronted and threatened his mother, assaulted his father when the father tried to restrain him and took more than $100 in cash from his father’s wallet.

Deputies say he then left the house and a search of the area included an MCSO helicopter and K9 officers. He was not located. Deputies alleged that he had entered a neighbor’s house through the garage and took the keys to a car and left town in the car.

The man contacted his father the next day to arrange a meeting and returned the stolen vehicle. Deputies were not involved in that and the suspect was not taken into custody.

The man faces charges including strong arm robbery, domestic violence aggravated assault, theft of a means of transportation (two counts), violation of an order of protection and domestic violence aggravated harassment. He also has two outstanding warrants for his arrest from the City of Mesa and the Arizona Department of Corrections.
