LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Police Department is seeking information about a stabbing that occurred in Library Park during the Independence Day celebration.
Lt. Jason Ferguson said the agency is continuing to investigate the incident, which occurred at about 8:30 p.m. Monday.
Ferguson said the stabbing involved several subjects and occurred near the park's playground.
During the incident, an adult male sustained several injuries but refused medical treatment, Ferguson said.
Lakeport Police Chief Brad Rasmussen told Lake County News in a Monday night interview that the 42-year-old victim had wounds to the head, neck and back, but that they were not serious.
That night police arrested 21-year-old Lakeport resident Dominic Ezekiel Tovar for the stabbing. Tovar has remained in custody since that time, according to jail records.
Ferguson said the police department is seeking information from anyone who may have been at Library
Park near the playground area and witnessed the incident or anyone who has information
regarding the events that occurred.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Det. Dale Stoebe at 707-263-5491.
