Deputies on Friday, June 16, arrested a 55-year-old Redlands man who they believe threatened his girlfriend with a gun when she said she was going to leave him, according to sheriff’s officials.

Martin Galvez was contacted at his auto body shop in the 25000 block of Van Leuven Street in Loma Linda and found with a .380-caliber handgun believed to have been used in the incident. He was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, according to a San Bernardino County sheriff’s news release.

Galvez’s girlfriend told authorities that when she tried to end the relationship, he “brandished a firearm, pointed it at the victim and told her she was going to die,” according to the release.

Sheriff’s officials are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact Central Station at 909-387-3545. Anonymous tips may also be made at the We-Tip Hotline by calling 1-800-782-7463 or visiting wetip.com.
