CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Clearlake Police arrested a woman early Wednesday morning after she allegedly shot a rifle at her husband inside their home.

Billie Jo Sevey, 33, was arrested for assault with a firearm on a person, shooting at an inhabited dwelling, negligent discharge of a firearm and domestic violence, according to a report from Sgt. Rodd Joseph.

Joseph said that at 1:15 a.m. Wednesday Clearlake Police officers were dispatched to a reported domestic disturbance in the 15800 block of 27th Avenue.

A man called 911 to report that his wife was armed with a rifle and was shooting at him inside their home. Joseph said that while officers were en route to the scene, the dispatcher overheard a single gunshot over the 911 call.

Officers arrived on scene within minutes and located the adult male victim out in front of the residence. He was uninjured, Joseph said.

Billie Jo Sevey soon exited the house with her children and surrendered to police, Joseph said.

A loaded 45/70 rifle was located in the backyard of the home along with three expended cartridges. Several bullet holes were located inside the home as well, Joseph said.

From the investigation it is believed that Sevey had been in an argument and physical altercation with her husband. Sevey then obtained the firearm and began shooting at her husband as he tried to retreat to another room in the home, Joseph said.

Joseph said no one was injured in the incident.

Sevey – who was booked under the last name of Thompson – is being held in the Lake County Jail on $100,000 bail. She remained in custody on Thursday night, according to jail records.

Joseph said Clearlake Police referred the case to the Lake County District Attorney’s Office for filing of charges.
