Kern County sheriff’s deputies arrested three people after a stabbing at the Hard Rock Casino early Sunday, authorities said.
Deputies assigned to the Tejon Substation were dispatched to the casino on Garone Farm Road at about 1:41 a.m. after receiving a report of multiple subjects fighting. While en route, deputies were told there was a victim of a stabbing.
When deputies arrived, they found a stabbing victim and learned the suspects had fled the scene. The victim suffered a moderate injury and was treated at a local hospital, the sheriff’s office said.
In the following hours, deputies executed two search warrants in Shafter at residences in the 300 block of Walnut Street and the 200 block of West Tulare Avenue.
Miguel Valladolid, 40, Juan Cueto, 37, and Christina Cueto, 36, were arrested without incident and booked on conspiracy charges, authorities said. Valladolid was also charged with assault with a deadly weapon.
