Murder Suspect Arrested In Riverside County Incident

Murder suspect Lavenski S. Harrell, wanted in connection with a Riverside County home invasion and murder was arrested by Butte County probation officers who were performing a compliance check on another probationer who resides in Chico.

Harrell was discovered in a home with the subject of the compliance check and the subject's 3 year-old daughter. As part of the compliance check, probation officers discovered that Harrell was the subject of two warrants from Riverside County for murder and felony burglary. While searching the residence, officers also found a Glock handgun and ammunition.

Harrell was the last of three siblings to be arrested in connection with the shooting death of Samuel Raye Cotton in February in Desert Hot Springs. Curtis Lee Drake was arrested just three days after the shooting in Cathedral City. Latoya Shontrice Jenkins was arrested in New Jersey in March.

If you've been accused of murder, burglary or other crime, or are on probation and have been subject to a potentially illegal search and seizure, you need the assistance of an experienced criminal defense attorney like Robert Michael Helfend.

Mr. Helfend has 25 years of criminal defense experience in Southern California courts and takes cases in Riverside County, Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County and Ventura County.

While felony charges like murder and burglary will afford you a trial, probation violations can result in your immediate incarceration. That's why you need a credible, experienced and skilled criminal defense attorney working on your behalf immediately upon your arrest. If you've been arrested on a criminal matter, whether it is major or minor, contact Robert Helfend for a consultation on your case immediately.
