FOR THE RECORD - Jan. 23, 2009

Antelope Valley crimes: An article in Thursday’s California section about an overall drop in serious crimes in the Antelope Valley in 2008 misattributed a quote about an increase in rapes in Palmdale to Capt. Bobby Denham, head of the Los Angeles County sheriff’s station in Palmdale. It quoted Denham as saying many of the cases were “boyfriend-girlfriend” incidents, as opposed to attacks by a stranger; the statement was made by Capt. Axel Anderson, head of the sheriff’s station in Lancaster.
