A man accused of attacking a Sweetwater Union High School board candidate in Imperial Beach has been taken into custody, deputies said.
Andrew Fisak, 25, was arrested in Coronado Wednesday on suspicion of battery with serious injury in connection with the attack on Andrew Valencia, according to sheriff’s Lt. Scott Ybarrondo.
The Sweetwater school board candidate, who was attacked while making an early-morning order at a local fast food restaurant, said he believes the crime is tied to the race for the school board seat.
Valencia was assaulted by what he described as two men in hooded sweatshirts while he was ordering at the drive-through window at the Jack in the Box restaurant on Palm Avenue.
