Novato police arrested 20-year-old city resident Eduardo Alvarez Friday afternoon after he assaulted two officers who responded to a vandalism call, sending one of the men to the hospital with injuries that did not appear to be life-threatening.
Police received a call at 1:04 p.m. on Friday from a local business owner, who reported that a man later identified as Alvarez had thrown a rock at him and shattered one of the front windows of his business, the Marin County Arms gun shop, which is located at the Del Prado Shopping Center on Alameda Del Prado in Novato. The Marin Independent Journal reported that Alvarez then entered the store and attempted to throw the rock at the owner, but it fell to the floor instead.
