This is the second such incident in Claremont in the past year. In December, 2006, a magazine salesman named Rondie Lamont Walz raped a 20-year-old Claremont woman after she let Walz into her house. Walz was convicted of the rape in March and was sentenced to 18 years in state prison.
The Courier also noted that Claremont police officers arrested two Fontana men on suspicion of burglary after they were seen at a home on the 500 block of Baughman Ave on December 19th. A neighbor, who saw some unusual activity, called the police. A search of the suspects' home turned up evidence of stolen items from other incidents.
