Three men now in the custody of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department were involved in bringing drugs into the High Desert Detention Center in Adelanto, the department maintains.
The importation of contraband into the 2,100 inmate-capacity facility began sometime this summer after Alfred Bojorquez, a 39-year-old resident of Apple Valley, was arrested on June 4 on charges of evading police with wanton disregard for public safety. He did not successfully pursue obtaining bail and was awaiting trial when he had contact with William Diaz, a 43-year-old resident of Apple Valley, and Anthony Lopez, a 32-year-old resident of Apple Valley.
According to the sheriff’s department, “On September 3, 2025, investigators from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department discovered an inmate at the High Desert Detention Center, Alfred Bojorquez, conspired to smuggle drugs into the jail with two other males, identified as William Diaz and Anthony Lopez. Investigators conducted a thorough investigation which led to a search warrant that was served on September 5, 2025, at a residence in Apple Valley where various controlled substances and paraphernalia were confiscated.”
The department reported that “On September 10, 2025, William Diaz was arrested for his warrant related to the conspiracy case. On September 24, 2025, Anthony Lopez was arrested for his warrant related to the conspiracy case. A subsequent search warrant was served at a residence in Apple Valley. During booking, Lopez attempted to smuggle narcotics into the High Desert Detention Center but investigators located it before he was housed. Bojorquez was supplementally booked and charged with conspiracy to smuggle drugs into a secure jail facility.”
