A violent encounter on the streets of Walnut Creek leads to the arrest of a Suisun City man following a meticulous investigation by local police. Malcolm Harris, 28, now faces multiple charges after an assault left a victim injured with a head wound from the buttstock of a rifle. According to the Walnut Creek Police Department, the incident occurred on March 2, just past the witching hour on N. Main St.

The suspect had fled before police arrived, leaving behind a scene that would bind him to his alleged crime after a determined detective work by the Walnut Creek Police. Officers had responded to the disturbance only to find the victim down and wounded. Lt. Drew Olson from Walnut Creek PD informed that Harris was apprehended in Las Vegas by the Vegas Metro PD and extradited to face charges in Contra Costa County.

These charges, official documents state, include assault with a machine gun or assault weapon, possession of a firearm by a felon, and possession of an assault weapon. With the gavel set to swing, the implications of these felonies could set Harris' fate on a long path behind bars, casting a bleak shadow over his future.

As Harris awaits his day in court at the Contra Costa County Jail, authorities urge anyone with further information on the case to come forward. The Walnut Creek Police provided a phone number for their department and an Anonymous Tip Line, hoping citizens might shed more light on the harrowing event that unfolded that early March morning. The police department's statement calls to potential witnesses, "Anyone with any information about this case is asked to contact the Walnut Creek Police Department at 925-943-5844 or call the Anonymous Tip Line at 925-943-5865."
