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.
