Joshua Tree man accused of spousal abuse

A 51-year-old man from Joshua Tree was arrested Sunday night after being accused of physically abusing his girlfriend.

Deputies with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said Allen Gose was taken into custody shortly after 8 p.m. when authorities were called to his home in the 5700 block of Sunfair Road.

Gose and his girlfriend were arguing and it turned into a physical altercation, according to the sheriff’s release. The victim said Gose pushed her to the floor and kicked her several times. Deputies said she sustained injuries to her face.

According to the sheriff’s department, a similar incident, which wasn’t reported, occurred about two weeks ago when Gose allegedly threw an object at his girlfriend. Deputies said she had minor bruising that was still visible on Sunday night.

Following the investigation, Gose was arrested for felony spouse abuse and was booked into the Morongo Basin Jail on $50,000 bail.
