On Feb. 15, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department announced Spencer's arrest following an investigation into the alleged break-in at the high school on Canyon Drive.

Around 10:27 a.m. Feb. 5, deputies were called to the campus regarding a burglary.

"School officials had found a subject entered a classroom in the early morning hours on February 4, 2021. Several items were taken from the classroom and items were also damaged," according to a report from sheriff's Sgt. R. Thomas.
