Two Ventura County sheriff’s deputies face criminal charges after an off-duty scuffle at a Camarillo bar and restaurant that sent a security guard to the hospital. The March 30 arrests of Dylan Davis, 33, and Anthony Malagon, 27, were not made public until Sheriff Jim Fryhoff addressed the matter two weeks later. In that April 16 news release, authorities said some sort of domestic incident happened at El Rey Cantina on Ventura Boulevard around 12:50 in the morning.
