For Immediate Release January 21, 2014
On January 21, 2014, at 9:24 am Bakersfield police officers were dispatched to a
residence in the 3000 block of Lotus Ln. regarding a brother who was stabbing his
father. The father was transported to an area hospital by another family member prior to
police arrival. When officers arrived they found Augustine Patino, 23, of Bakersfield, to
the front of the residence armed with a machete. Patino refused officers’ repeated
demands to put the weapon down and repeatedly swung the machete violently at the
officers. In the meantime, other officers forced entry into the rear of the residence and
removed remaining family members to safety.
During the forty minute stand-off officers deployed specialty impact munitions to attempt
to disarm and take Patino into custody but those munitions were ineffective. After
attacking a small family dog with the machete Patino threw the weapon into the air at
which time a police service canine was deployed. Patino was taken into custody with
the use of the canine, a taser and several officers. Patino suffered minor puncture
wounds from the canine engagement and was transported to an area hospital.
Once he is released from the hospital Patino will be booked for Attempted Murder,
Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Assault with a Deadly Weapon on a Peace Officer,
Brandishing a Weapon, Cruelty to Animals and Under the Influence of a Controlled
Substance. The family dog suffered from a minor wound and a Bakersfield Animal
Control officer responded to assist the family in caring for the animal.
