Calimesa Man Accused of Robbery, Threat to Kill Girlfriend with Shotgun

A woman flagged police down in the middle of the night, telling them that her life had been threatened with a shotgun, according to deputies.

A Calimesa man was arrested Saturday after he allegedly threatened to kill his girlfriend with a shotgun, a Riverside County sheriff's sergeant said.

Randall S. Munger, 41, is accused of pointing a shotgun at his 28-year-old girlfriend, stealing her phone, and threatening to kill her, Sgt. James Burton of the sheriff's Cabazon Station said in a statement.

Calimesa deputies were first alerted to the alleged crime when the woman flagged down an officer driving on 5th Street in Calimesa at 1 a.m. Saturday, Burton said.

Investigators were then called out from the Cabazon Station to look into her claims of attack, Burton said. They focused on a residence in the 900 block of 5th, just south of County Line Road.

"Investigators secured a search warrant for the residence and recovered several items which corroborated the victim's account of what had occurred," Burton said.
