Edin Alex Enamorado, known as a street vendor advocate, was arrested along with seven others Thursday by San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies, who attributed the arrests to a months-long assault investigation.

Authorities say the initial assault took place during a protest in Victorville on Sept. 24. The investigation into the alleged assault grew to involve police from other cities in the Inland Empire, including Upland, Fontana and Pomona, who contended that the individuals under investigation were involved in other “violent acts during protests” in those cities.

The investigation culminated with the execution of multiple search warrants Thursday morning and the arrest of eight people, including Enamorado.
