Sgt. Rodd Joseph of the Clearlake Police Department reported that officers and detectives were dispatched to a report of a stabbing victim located at a residence in the 16100 block of 28th Avenue at about 12:15 p.m. Tuesday.

Joseph said officers arrived within a few minutes of the call and located two stabbing victims inside the home.

The victims were identified as 30-year-old Robert Bradley and 23-year-old Carol Wallerman, both of Clearlake, Joseph said.

Medical personnel arrived and began tending to the two victims, and Joseph said officers began interviews with the victims while they were being medically treated.

Though the victims are not fully cooperating with the investigation, Joseph said officers learned that the assault occurred at a residence in the 15800 block of 28th Avenue.

Both Bradley and Wallerman were transported by ambulance to St. Helena Hospital Clearlake, Joseph said.

While Bradley's injuries are not considered life threatening, Joseph said Wallerman later was flown to an out-of-county trauma center. Her condition was not known early Tuesday evening.

Officers located the crime scene and obtained evidence supporting the assault, and Joseph said the case remains under investigation.

Anyone with information about this assault is asked to contact Detectives Tim Alvarado or Ryan Peterson at 707-994-8251. Callers may remain anonymous.

Lakeport Police Sgt. Kevin Odom said the traffic stop on Friday, Jan. 6, resulted in the arrests of Santa Rosans Francisco Scott Cervantes, 30; Samantha Jean Sullivan, 21; Leslie Dale Spadoni, 34; and Celeste Ann Delasantos, 32.

At 10:20 p.m. Jan. 6 Lakeport Police Sgt. Jason Ferguson was patrolling in the 1200 block of Craig Avenue when he observed a vehicle pull out of a secluded area at Craig Avenue's dead end, Odom reported.

Odom said the vehicle appeared to be suspicious to Ferguson based on the commercial area, time of day and recent burglary reports in the area.

Ferguson stopped the vehicle and found that the driver, Cervantes, was unlicensed and on parole for vehicle theft, Odom said.

The vehicle's three passengers included Sullivan, Spadoni and Delasantos. Odom said Sullivan was found to be a convicted felon on probation for burglary, and Spadoni recently was released from parole for possession of stolen property.

Odom said numerous keys, punch type tools, radios and other items allegedly used to commit thefts were located throughout the vehicle during the course of the investigation. Suspected methamphetamine was located in passenger compartment of the vehicle.

All four suspects were arrested and booked at the Lake County Jail, Odom said.

Cervantes' booking sheet said he was booked for a felony parole violation and possession of a controlled substance, misdemeanor driving without a license and possession of burglary tools. He is being held without bail due to the alleged parole violation, and was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday, jail records showed.

Spadoni was booked for felony possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor possession of burglary tools, with bail set at $15,000. He is scheduled to appear in court March 19, according to his booking sheet.

Delasantos was booked on three felonies – possession of a narcotic controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and bringing drugs into a jail – and a misdemeanor count of possession of burglary tools, according to arrest records. Like Spadoni, Delasantos also is scheduled to appear on March 19 in Lake County Superior Court.

Sullivan was booked for a felony probation violation and misdemeanor possession of burglary tools. Jail records indicated she was being held without bail and had been set for arraignment Tuesday.

Jail records showed that Sullivan and Cervantes remained in custody on Tuesday, while Spadoni and Delasantos appeared to have been released.

KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Authorities are seeking a suspect in an alleged drive-by shooting that occurred in Kelseyville over the weekend.

Injured in the incident was a 15-year-old boy, who reported being shot in the foot, according to Sgt. Steve Brooks of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

At approximately 1:13 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 8, deputies responded to Pioneer Park in Kelseyville for a report of a juvenile who had been shot in the foot.

Deputies located the victim who said he had been walking on Second Street when a white pickup, possibly a Ford F-150, drove down Saderlund Street, Brooks said. The boy reported that someone in the vehicle had shot him.

Deputies located what appeared to be bullet wound on the outside of the teen’s right ankle. Brooks said the victim subsequently was transported to Sutter Lakeside Hospital by personnel from Kelseyville Fire Protection District’s Station 55.

Brooks said deputies searched the area and located a spent .40-caliber casing near the intersection of Second and Saderlund streets. A bullet also was located, which had fallen out of the victim’s pant leg while receiving medical treatment.

He said deputies canvassed the area and were informed that a white pickup had been seen speeding down Saderlund Street. just a few minutes prior to their arrival.

Deputies contacted the teen victim at the hospital, at which point he became somewhat uncooperative, Brooks said.

Brooks said the teenager changed his description of the pickup and said it could have been a Toyota Tacoma.

The teenager told deputies that as the pickup drove by, he heard someone yell profanities at him and then he was shot. He described the individual who shot him as being a Hispanic male with short hair, mustache and wearing a hat. The victim was unable to provide any additional information, Brooks said.

Deputies located two witnesses who were reportedly with the victim at the time of the shooting. Brooks said the witnesses told deputies that they were walking on Second Street and approaching Saderlund when a vehicle drove by them.

One of the witnesses thought the vehicle may have been a Volkswagen Jetta. Brooks said neither witness was able to remember the color of the vehicle or describe the occupant.

He said one of the witnesses thought the occupant of the vehicle may have yelled something and then they both heard what sounded like two gunshots.

The victim then told them that he had been shot in the foot, Brooks said.

Anyone who may have information regarding this case is encouraged to contact the Lake County Sheriff’s Office at 707-262-4200.

CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A Lower Lake man who refused to stop for an officer led police on a 12-mile high speed vehicle pursuit Saturday evening.

Logan Stuart Gavazza, 43, was arrested after the chase, according to acting Sgt. Dominic Ramirez.

Ramirez said that shortly after 5:30 p.m. Saturday Officer Alan Collier observed a black 2009 Ford Mustang traveling at a high rate of speed on 40th Avenue.

“As he attempted to catch up to the vehicle and conduct a traffic stop the vehicle fled,” Ramirez explained.

Gavazza allegedly had thrown a bag containing methamphetamine from the vehicle during the pursuit, Ramirez said.

Collier and three other Clearlake Police officers chased Gavazza for approximately 12.3 miles on city streets, out onto Highway 53 and to Highway 20, and then onto Sulphur Bank Road in Clearlake Oaks, where Ramirez said the pursuit ended.

Lake County Sheriff's deputies had been requested to assist when the chase moved into the county jurisdiction, but Ramirez said the pursuit ended before deputies could reach the area.

Collier arrested Gavazza just after 6:30 p.m., according to Gavazza’s booking sheet.

Gavazza was arrested on numerous charges including felony possession of a controlled substance, transporting a controlled substance and evading a peace officer with disregard for public safety, and misdemeanor counts of destroying or concealing evidence, driving while on a license revoked for driving under the influence, obstructing or resisting a peace officer, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, according to jail records.

His bail was set at $35,000, and he is set to appear in Lake County Superior Court on Tuesday, Jan. 10, jail records indicated.
