Police arrest Upper Lake man for breaking out store window
LAKEPORT, Calif. – An Upper Lake man suspected of breaking out a large window at a local business was arrested early Saturday.
Lance Edward McCloud, 22, was arrested shortly after the incident, according to Lakeport Police Chief Brad Rasmussen.
Officers Angie Bell and Jarvis Leishman were dispatched to Lakeport Furniture in the 300 block of S. Main St. at 2:45 a.m. Saturday to investigate the report of a “front glass break” alarm, Rasmussen said.
While en route to the store, the officers located McCloud a few blocks from the location, according to Rasmussen's report.
Rasmussen said McCloud had blood on his right forearm, elbow and shorts, and small pieces of glass on his shirt. He also was found to be intoxicated.
Bell and Leishman also recognized McCloud as being a person they had seen in the area of Lakeport Furniture prior to the alarm call, Rasmussen said.
McCloud was detained while officers responded to Lakeport Furniture, where they located the 6-foot by 8-foot north front window broken. Rasmussen said the business owner responded to secure the building and estimated the damage to be more than $4,000.
Lakeport Fire Protection District emergency personnel responded to the scene to examine McCloud’s injuries and found that they were minor and he did not require transport to the hospital, Rasmussen said.
Rasmussen said Bell and Leishman further questioned McCloud, who admitted to hitting the window and breaking it because he was angry.
McCloud was arrested for felony vandalism and misdemeanor public intoxication, and transported to the Lake County Correctional Facility where he was booked, Rasmussen said.
McCloud's bail was set at $15,000. Jail records indicated he later posted the required percentage of bail and was released.
Police arrest two more suspects in connection to Clearlake homicide; guns found
CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Police have arrested two additional suspects in connection to a Sunday triple shooting that led to one man's death, bringing the total number of people in custody in the case to four, and also have located two weapons.
The shooting took place shortly before 1 p.m. Sunday at a residence located at 19th and Gardner avenues, as Lake County News has reported.
On Sunday, police arrested Joshua Robert Beavers, 24, and Orlando Esquivel Sr., 48, for the fatal shooting, and followed up on Monday by arresting Angel Aileen Esquivel, 50, and Brenden Alicea, 26, on allegations that they were accomplices, according to Sgt. Nick Bennett. All the suspects are from Clearlake.
In the Sunday incident police said three people were shot and one male subject died. The two other shooting victims – a man and a woman – sustained injuries that were not life-threatening. The woman was treated at released at St. Helena Hospital Clear Lake and the man was flown to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.
Bennett said the shooting appears to have been motivated by a fight at a Dam Road store earlier on Sunday between one of the shooting victims and one of the suspects. The suspects later allegedly drove to the 19th Avenue home and shot at a crowd of people that included children, hitting the three victims.
Bennett said early Monday afternoon that police were not yet releasing the victims' names.
Within a few hours of the shooting, police had surrounded a home on 21st Avenue and detained several suspects, among them Beavers and Orlando Esquivel Sr., who were arrested Sunday afternoon, as Lake County News has reported.
Beavers is being held on charges of murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit a crime, assault with a firearm, ex-felon in possession of a firearm and possession of ammunition by a prohibited person. His bail is set at $1 million.
Orlando Esquivel's booking sheet hadn't been posted by 2 p.m. Monday.
On Monday, Bennett said police arrested Alicea and Angel Esquivel. Both also had been detained at the 21st Avenue residence.
Bennett said investigators believe the two alleged accomplices tried to hide evidence of the crimes.
“As the investigation continued, their involvement became apparent,” Bennett said.
Angel Esquivel and Alicea are both charged with conspiracy to commit a crime, with bail set at $1 million each, according to their booking sheets.
Additional arrests could be forthcoming, Bennett said. “There may be other persons of interest we're looking for,” he added.
In other investigation developments, an overnight search by police led to the discovery of two weapons in the area of 16th and Boyles avenues, Bennett said.
The weapons, which Bennett said were hidden under some bushes, included a semiautomatic .22-caliber handgun that is believed to be the murder weapon, along with a .410 shotgun with a pistol grip that was present but not used.
Anyone with additional investigation is encouraged to contact Clearlake Police Det. Ryan Peterson at 707-994-8251, Extension 320.

Police arrest suspect in Clearlake double stabbing
CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The suspect in an early Sunday morning double stabbing has been arrested, according to police.
John Shane Dalmolin, 42, of Clearlake, was taken into custody at about 12:30 a.m., shortly after the assaults, according to police.
Police said Dalmolin allegedly stabbed the two men during a fight then fled the scene.
At approximately 12:21 a.m. Clearlake Police officers received a report of a stabbing on the 15000 block of Grant Drive in Clearlake, according to Sgt. Nick Bennett.
Arriving officers located two victims, Robert Logue, 40, and Samuel Farnan, 19, who had both suffered stab wounds, Bennett said.
Both victims were transported to St. Helena Hospital Clear Lake. Bennett said Farnan subsequently was flown to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital for further treatment.
Clearlake detectives were called to the scene to take over the investigation. While detectives were interviewing witnesses at the crime scene, Bennett said Officer Chris Reagan observed a vehicle that matched the vehicle Dalmolin had fled in; the vehicle was crashed into a tree in the area.
While checking the area for the Dalmolin, Bennett said Reagan observed him in the passenger seat of a vehicle driving past him.
With the assistance of a Lake County Sheriff’s deputy, Officer Reagan stopped the vehicle and detained that person – identified as Dalmolin – for further investigation, Bennett said.
Investigation by detectives at the scene and Officer Reagan determined that Dalmolin had gone to the 15000 block of Grant Drive to check on his ex-girlfriend and became involved in an altercation with several subjects at that location, according to Bennett.
Dalmolin allegedly used a knife he was carrying to defend himself and stabbed the two victims then fled the scene, crashing his vehicle a few blocks away.
Dalmolin was booked into the Lake County Jail for felony assault with a deadly weapon, vehicle hit and run and an outstanding misdemeanor warrant. His bail was set at $25,000 and he remained in custody on Monday.
Anyone with additional information regarding this case is encouraged to contact Det. Ryan Peterson at 707-994-8251, Extension 320.

Joshua Beavers, 24, and Orlando Esquivel Sr., 48, were arrested shortly before 5 p.m. in connection with the homicide, according to Clearlake Police Chief Craig Clausen.
Clausen reported that at approximately 12:53 p.m., officers were dispatched to a possible shooting near the intersection of Gardner Avenue and 19th Avenue.
Officers arrived and located three victims suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Lake County Fire personnel pronounced one male subject deceased at the scene, Clausen said.
Sgt. Nick Bennett said a female shooting victim who had been grazed in the side by a bullet was transported to St. Helena Hospital Clear Lake and released a short time later.
The third victim, a male who sustained a gunshot wound to the elbow, was flown to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital for treatment, according to Bennett.
Police said the names of the three victims are being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
A confidential “be on the lookout” was issued to surrounding law enforcement agencies with possible suspect and suspect vehicle information, Clausen said.

Members of the Lake County District Attorney’s Office and Clearlake Police Department are securing two separate locations in anticipation of the issuance of a search warrant, police said.
Bennett told Lake County News that the shooting appeared to have been motivated by a fight earlier on Sunday at a Dam Road store between one of the suspects and the shooting victims.
Beavers and Esquivel are alleged to have gone to the 19th Avenue residence, where a handgun was fired at a large group of people, including children, resulting in the one death and injuries to the other two victims, Bennett said.
Clausen said his agency will release additional information on the case as soon as it is able to do so.
