Sheriff's Log

5/27 8:38am Clifford Cortland reported Steven Thomas missing from his Whipple Ridge Road home in Philo.

5/29 10:07am Sgt. Noe found pot growing off Mountain View Road.

5/29 10:35pm An Airport Estates man was punched in the mouth by his mother hard enough to leave the imprint of her ring on the 20-something lad's startled puss. As he rose from the floor, the young man declared, "Guess who's having dinner alone next Mother's Day?" although he gallantly declined to press charges. (What choice does he have? He's going to go to court and say his mom knocked him on his ass?)

5/31 2:17am A Yorkville woman said three flashlit pyro-prowlers were roaming her premises, perhaps intent on trying to start a fire. The call was canceled but CDF was summoned to check out a possible arson.

6/1 8:18am Deputy Nordin arrested Brandy King, 29, Sean King, 26, and Neal Bennett, 20, in Philo, following a domestic dispute. Reportedly Sean King tried to strangle Brandy King. Brandy escaped Sean's grasp, grabbed a golf club (a five iron) and proceeded to drive Sean's head like she was Tiger Woods in a sand trap. Deputy Nordin, once he'd sorted out the mayhem, arrested Sean for battery, Brandy for assault with a deadly weapon, corporal injury to a spouse and probation violation, and Bennett for being under the influence of a controlled substance. Bennett's bail was set at $2,500. Sean King's at $10,000. Brandy was held without bail for probation violation.

6/1 2:26pm A Boonville store owner complained of the oafs loitering in front of his enterprise.

6/2 12:30pm A landlord-tenant dispute in Philo resulted in one half of the dispute asking to meet Deputy Edwards at the Boonville Fairgrounds Sheriff's Substation to make a complaint.

Arrests

5/30 James Loris Dunn, 61, of Philo, was arrested on a mysterious charge of "Rent to Distribute Sub," an apparent reference to his present status as third man (second man if you assume Thomas is coming back) in the home of the missing Steven Thomas and Clifford Cortland.

6/2 Jesse Carlos Lopez, 23, of Philo, was arrested for DUI, his blood alcohol coming in at well over the street legal ratio of .08

Crime of the Week

At 12:48 a.m. on Sunday, June 1, a man complained that some individuals in a silver Honda Accord threw French (aka Freedom) fries at him while he was changing a tire in the 900 block of North State Street, Ukiah.
