The second incident occurred at approximately the same time, when SPPD officers were summoned to the 100 block of West Santa Barbara Street by a report of a fight. But when officers arrived on the scene, they were unable to locate the subjects.“Everybody was gone,” but Reynolds said officers were called again about a fight at about 11:50 p.m. Once again officers were unable to locate any subjects: “The people fighting must have gone back into a house,” Reynolds said. About 15 minutes later the SPPD was again called about combative subjects, “when they must have come out of the house again.”Officers found one man with a head injury, and arrested Praquedis Galindo, 29, of Santa Paula, on a misdemeanor warrant and assault with a deadly weapon. The victim was transported to Santa Paula Hospital for treatment of a moderate head injury.
