At the time of the crime, Lynch lived with his wife and two children at a Canyon Country apartment, the prosecutor said.<\/p>\n
In the early morning of Jan. 21, Lynch and his wife were reportedly involved in a domestic violence dispute. As a result, the wife called 911, the prosecutor said.<\/p>\n
Upset that his wife had reached out to authorities, Lynch allegedly armed himself with a knife and locked himself in a room with their two children, ages 3 and 5, according to the prosecutor.<\/p>\n
Law enforcement arrived at the home and positioned themselves inside the apartment and near a window outside the apartment, the prosecutor added.<\/p>\n
At some point, Lynch reportedly threw a TV stand out the window, almost injuring the deputies outside, the prosecutor said. The deputies inside the home then rushed the room in which Lynch was located.<\/p>\n
A physical altercation ensued between Lynch and a deputy, the prosecutor said, and the deputy was seriously injured.<\/p>\n
Following the struggle, the defendant was subdued and then arrested, the prosecutor added.<\/p>\n
If convicted as charged, Lynch faces a possible maximum sentence of 31 years and eight months in state prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
