CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A Clearlake Police officer escaped injury but his patrol vehicle was damaged after a motorhome rolled into it early Sunday morning.

The incident occurred just before 2:30 a.m. at 15135 Lakeshore Drive, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Acting Watch Commander Dominic Ramirez said Officer Travis Lenz had spotted the motorhome sitting in the middle of the roadway, with a male subject pushing it backwards.

Lenz pulled up to see what was happening, and after he got out of his patrol car, the motorhome rolled backward and hit it, Ramirez said.

Ramirez said Lenz was fine, but his vehicle had moderate damage as a result, with damaged fenders and its door pinned shut.

“The vehicle is out of commission for right now,” Ramirez said.

 

A CHP officer arrested the motorhome’s driver, 43-year-old Jill Marie Robbins of Clearlake Oaks, on misdemeanor charges of use of a controlled substance, driving while on a suspended license and driving under the influence, according to jail records.

Lenz arrested Robbins’ passenger and the subject who had been pushing the motorhome, 24-year-old Christopher Hoffman of Redding, for a parole violation. Jail records showed that Hoffman was being held on a no-bail hold.
