CLEARLAKE, Calif. – On Saturday the Clearlake Police Department arrested three people on various charges after finding them in a red-tagged residence in the city.

Arrested were Clearlake resident Marcus James Kirk, 41; Ashley Inet King, 27; and 32-year-old Justin Lee Beebe, the agency said.

At 10:30 a.m. Saturday Officer Michael Perreault responded to a report of several subjects inside a red-tagged residence located in the 14500 block of Uhl Avenue.

In the city of Clearlake, structures are only red-tagged by Clearlake Code Enforcement when they are not safe for habitation, according to the police report.

Being on the property of a red-tagged structure can be a violation of the Uniform Housing Code depending on the purpose for being on the property and the time and day of the week, police reported.

When Officer Perreault arrived he located numerous persons inside the residence. One subject – identified as Kirk – was seen walking out of a rear empty bathroom.

Perreault located a loaded firearm in the bathroom Kirk had just exited. Kirk was found to be a convicted felon and placed under arrest for being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.

King also was located at the residence. Police said she was found to be in possession of two pieces of identification from two other Clearlake residents who reported being prior victims of theft, with these specific pieces of identification reported stolen.

King was arrested and charged with possession of stolen property, police said.

In front of the residence was parked a newer white Subaru SUV that police said was displaying paper dealer plates as if the vehicle had recently been purchased. 

Beebe, who also was inside the home with the others, claimed that he was borrowing the vehicle from a friend and was in possession of the vehicle keys, police said.

Upon checking the vehicle identification number, Perreault found that the Subaru was a stolen vehicle out of Sparks, Nev. The vehicle had been stolen from the owner’s driveway back in November 2015. 

Beebe was charged with possession of stolen property, police said.

The remaining persons at the residence were allowed to leave without charges, according to police.

Beebe, King and Kirk all were later booked into the Lake County Jail, with their bail set at $15,000; $5,000; and $15,000, respectively, according to jail records.

Beebe and Kirk remained in custody early Saturday, with King having been released after posting the required portion of bail.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact Officer Perreault at 707-994-8251, Extension 519.
