Cristian Lopez of Fresno. A judge has issued a bench warrant for failing to report to court on charges of making death threats, battery and assault.
Fresno County Sheriff’s deputies responded to Fresno’s Old Fig Garden Neighborhood for a report of a physical altercation. Once on scene, deputies contacted a man who had a severe injury to the back of his head.
