SANTA ANA, Calif.—A 30-year-old transient was charged Monday with heaving a chunk of concrete at a passing driver in Garden Grove. Lonnie Duante Johnson was charged with single felony counts each of assault with a deadly weapon, assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, and throwing a missile with the intent to do serious bodily harm. Police were called about 11:30 a.m. Thursday about a man flinging items at passing vehicles at Brookhurst Street south of Chapman Avenue. Johnson was accused of chucking a 13-pound hunk of concrete at a motorist passing by about 40 mph on Brookhurst, according to police.
