LUCERNE, Calif. – Law enforcement is investigating a fight that occurred earlier this week in which a person was stabbed.
The incident was reported to have occurred on Monday afternoon in the area of Country Club Drive and Cornish Court in Lucerne.
Lt. Steve Brooks with the Lake County Sheriff's Office and Chief Deputy District Attorney Richard Hinchcliff confirmed that one person was arrested in connection to the fight.
Silvia Gudino Pulido, 31, of Lucerne was arrested that same afternoon on felony charges of assault with a deadly weapon and battery with a serious injury, according to her booking sheet.
Hinchcliff said Pulido was released this week, as the District Attorney's Office had rejected the initial filing on the case due to the need for additional evidence.
“There’s an ongoing investigation into the stabbing part of it,” said Hinchcliff.
Hinchcliff said one person was stabbed, but it still wasn't clear who had stabbed the individual.
He said the fight involved numerous intoxicated subjects who initially were hitting each other. Then someone pulled a knife.
“It’s unclear who was the aggressor and who was acting in self-defense,” Hinchcliff said, adding that all of the fight's participants claimed they acted in self-defense.
While Pulido was the only person arrested, Hinchcliff said it wasn't alleged that she actually had done the stabbing.
He said if additional information arises to lead authorities to the person who was the aggressor, the District Attorney's Office can file charges in the case.
Anyone with information about the case can call the Lake County Sheriff's Office, which is leading the stabbing investigation, at 707-262-4200.
