POMONA – A 29-year-old Diamond Bar man was charged today with assault with a firearm and his 27-year-old brother was charged with two drug counts in connection with a shooting Tuesday in Diamond Bar, the District Attorney’s office announced.

John Steven Heesch, (dob 7-28-76), is charged with one count of assault with a firearm, with the special allegation of causing great bodily injury and personal use of a firearm in case No. KA072907, said Deputy District Attorney Abram Weisbrot. Heesch’s brother, James Howard Heesch Jr., (dob 9-23-78), is charged with one count of possession of marijuana for sale and one count of cultivating marijuana. He was released on $60,000 bail.

John Heesch, who is being held on $150,000 bail, is scheduled to be arraigned after 1:30 p.m. today in Pomona Superior Court, Dept. N.

John Heesch allegedly shot a 29-year-old real estate agent who said he was canvassing houses in the neighborhood.

During an investigation, Sheriff’s deputies confiscated nearly four pounds in marijuana from the home of James Heesch.
