The attack occurred on New Year’s Eve and San Bernardino County sheriff’s Deputy Lawrence Falce was taken off life support two days later. “We believe that he was knocked unconscious almost immediately and he never did regain consciousness,” San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said at a news conference. The 30-year-old San Bernardino man pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to murder with special circumstances. In 2015, he was released after serving two years of a 12-year sentence for selling marijuana, San Bernardino County District Attorney Michael Ramos said. Falce worked 36 years as a deputy sheriff.
