A tense situation unfolded in Crestline on October 30 when 45-year-old Clifton William Bedore was arrested following a violent incident involving his brother and a prolonged standoff with law enforcement.
The conflict reportedly began over a cell phone and the care of their elderly mother, leading Bedore to assault his brother with a 2×4 and dumbbells at their residence on Arth Drive. After the assault, Bedore barricaded himself on the third floor of the home, threatening to burn the house down with an improvised incendiary device.
As deputies arrived at the scene, they were met with Bedore’s threats, as he warned he would use the device against anyone who attempted to approach him. Meanwhile, deputies evacuated the victim and their elderly mother, ensuring they received medical attention.
During initial negotiations, Bedore ignited the incendiary device and threatened deputies while pouring what was suspected to be an accelerant on the floor and loading a firearm. The situation escalated until the Sheriff’s Specialized Enforcement Division intervened, establishing communication with Bedore.
After approximately four hours of negotiation, Bedore surrendered peacefully and was taken into custody without further incident. Following his arrest, he was transported to a local hospital for a pre-booking medical evaluation before being booked at the West Valley Detention Center.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities urge anyone with information to contact the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, Twin Peaks Station, at (909) 336-0600. Anonymous tips can be submitted through We-Tip at 1-800-78-CRIME (27463) or via their website at wetip.com.
