LANCASTER – Two teenagers and a 52-year-old woman were arrested Monday afternoon after a squabble over drugs escalated into a double stabbing at a Lancaster strip mall, authorities said.
Around 2:30 p.m., Monday, Nov. 17, deputies responded to a call regarding a fight in the parking lot of the shopping center on 10th Street West and Avenue L, according to Lancaster Community Relations deputy Miguel Ruiz.
“When deputies arrived there were multiple citizens detaining the parties involved, keeping them from leaving,” Ruiz said. “There were two injured victims from knife wounds.”
The melee began when a 15-year-old driver and his 24-year-old passenger arrived at the shopping center to meet up with 52-year-old Lori Wolf, allegedly to make a drug deal, Ruiz said.
“Apparently an argument ensued over money that was supposed to be collected,” Ruiz said, adding that Lori Wolf allegedly produced a knife during the argument.
“A struggle for the knife ensued, and then a male 17-year-old ran into the scene,” Ruiz said, adding that the 17-year-old boy was Wolf’s accomplice. “Somehow he was stabbed and so was the 24-year-old female.”
Both were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Ruiz said.
Witnesses in the area detained the group until deputies arrived; and Wolf, the 15-year-old boy and the 17-year-old boy were arrested, Ruiz said. Wolf was jailed Monday afternoon in lieu of $50,000 bail, but she was released Tuesday morning, according to LASD inmate records.
The incident remains under investigation, and no further information was immediately available Tuesday.

We were not there in person. Therefore, this is hear-say.

As Boxer aka Rene Enriquez would say no humans involved incident. It is what the public voted for when they voted YES on Prop 47. The property crimes will rise and the violence will follow because people who are HIGH do not think straight. The street level dealer will only carry what is for person use (legal level) and evade the sale charge. Just because a criminal is involved in crime does not mean they are stupid and some the most profitable enterprises are run by criminals (Mafia/Cartels) are also very very violent. A knife is cheap and personal
Eric says
You support the war on drugs, you support incidents like this. Regulation beats prohibition.
callitasitis says
The war on drug is a total bust and you are fooling yourself if you believe you can really regulate it. You can get all the drugs YOU want if you have the money. The problem is the money part, where do you get the money if you have a $80 a day habit? Or more. Drug offenses are not victimless. Drug use = property crimes at the very least. Do not believe it ? Ask any drug addict how do they pay for it? It is never a clean business , but we will see it soon enough. We will reap the consequence of the voter’s action.

the only thing you got right with your comment is that a knife is cheap and personal. Guns are also cheap on the street.
callitasitis says
So I did not get it right that criminals are not stupid? Or that Drug Cartels are profitable enterprise and violent? Or that drug use (=) equal property crimes? Anyone who has had a drug addict in their house will tell YOU that the addict steals from family 1st and THEN when that runs out they will start with their neighbors. Even a stolen gun (property crime) will cost more than a knife. The exchange of product (meth/weed/heroin) and money is always dangerous for all parties involved.

One positive thing related to this incident was to hear that citizens actually got involved and assisted in detaining the parties involved.

Antelope Valley=SEWER!
J. Ripper says
So the 24-y.o. female who was actually buying or selling the drugs from/to Wolf wasn’t arrested? Fabulous!
Dee says
It doesn’t say the 24 yo was doing anything except riding in a car and getting stabbed. You can’t just try to fill the in the blanks with a theory pulled from your arse.
J. Ripper says
True, but generally speaking when one adult is involved in a crime involving juveniles, the adult will be held to a higher standard and often actually charged with more than the juveniles. It’s difficult to believe she had no idea she was riding along to a drug deal, and even if she wasn’t a responsible guardian, it seems that she should be charged too.
Alexander Waverly says
These two “dealers” sure match the description of two dealers we ran out of Rosamond about six weeks ago.
Dylan says
where do you people get NA/mi and an equestrian facility out of this?
Chuck says
Drugs, a victimless crime right?
Gg says
Embarrassing and trashy. Smh
Max says
The NAMI effect working it’s magic there… She got bailed out quickly, had to front $5000 to the bondsman…
Take the AV Back!! says
Well let’s see – if this is the same woman that is a volunteer at an equestrian facility in Lancaster, then her past education in “Alcohol & Drug Studies” must’ve really been worth it! We need to seriously clean up the AV!!
Brittney Holland says
You shouldn’t assume things and bring people up unless you know it is factual! Many people have the same names. Maybe you are a part of the problem.

Comment on top of mine is funny.
