LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Authorities took a Colusa man into custody this week after it was reported he was shooting at people with an assault rifle.
Glenn Michael Prasad, 35, was arrested Tuesday afternoon, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office reported.
At 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Lake County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to the Red and White Market in Clearlake Oaks for a report of shots fired, according to a report from sheriff’s public information officer Lauren Berlinn.
Berlinn said it was reported that a male subject had shot at transients in the area with a rifle.
The responding deputies arrived on scene and determined no one was injured, Berlinn said.
Berlinn said witnesses provided a vehicle description and deputies quickly located the vehicle at a nearby residence in the 12000 block of Shoreview Drive in Clearlake Oaks.
The suspect, later identified as Glenn Prasad, was located inside the residence and detained, Berlinn said.
Detectives from the Major Crimes Unit obtained a search warrant and upon searching the residence, found an unregistered AR-style rifle matching the description provided by witnesses, according to Berlinn’s report.
Berlinn said Prasad was arrested for felony willful discharge of a firearm in a gross negligent manner and felony illegal possession of an assault weapon.
Prasad was transported to the Lake County Correctional Facility, where he is currently in custody, with bail set at $10,000, according to jail records.
Jail records show Prasad is due for arraignment in Lake County Superior Court on Thursday.
