CLEARLAKE OAKS, Calif. – The Lake County Sheriff's Office on Thursday evening issued an update on the investigation into a violent home invasion robbery that occurred the previous day in Clearlake Oaks, reporting that four suspects were in custody in the case.
Jenaya Drevelyn Jelinek, 22, and 26-year-old Dion Andre Davis II, both of San Francisco, and Clearlake residents Tyler Christopher Gallon, 18, and Sean Douglas Foss, 20, were taken into custody in connection to the case on Wednesday, according to sheriff's Lt. Steve Brooks.
The four are alleged to have forced their way into the High Valley home of Ronnie and Janeane Bogner shortly before 9 a.m. on Wednesday, shooting the couple's adult son in the leg, stealing two guns and the family's 2002 Escalade, as Lake County News has reported.
Brooks said patrol deputies were dispatched to the home at approximately 8:48 a.m. on a report that four male subjects had forced their way into the residence and demanded firearms and money.
Ronnie Bogner told Lake County News he was not home at the time of the robbery, but his wife Janeane, their two young grandchildren and their son Jacob were in the home.
Janeane Bogner had shut and locked the door on the four suspects before they kicked down the door, her husband said. She and the grandchildren retreated to a bedroom, based on the report.
When Jacob Bogner tried to keep the men out of his bedroom, they allegedly shot through the door and forced they way into the room, pistol whipping him, according to the family's account.
He called 911, advising he had been shot and beaten, Brooks reported.
Brooks said that as the patrol deputies were responding to the residence, additional information was provided indicating the suspects had left the residence in a Chevy Malibu with paper plates and a 2002 Cadillac Escalade belonging to the victims.
He said deputies secured the residence and arranged for Jacob Bogner to receive medical treatment for his injuries. A description of the suspects and the vehicles was immediately broadcast to all of the surrounding law enforcement agencies.
It was at approximately 9:11 a.m. that Clearlake Police Chief Craig Clausen and Lt. Tim Celli – who were out looking for the vehicles – observed a Chevy Malibu matching the description in the area of Country Club Drive in Clearlake Park, according to law enforcement accounts.
Celli and Clausen attempted to conduct an enforcement stop on the vehicle, but the suspects refused to stop. Brooks said the pursuit continued until the Malibu came to a stop in the area of 16th Street and Bush Street in Clearlake Park.
It was there that Jelinek, the driver, was taken into custody at the vehicle, said Brooks, while Davis, Gallon and Foss fled, running towards 15th Street.
As the suspects were running away from the vehicle, they shot multiple times at the officers. Brooks said one of the bullets was found to have struck a nearby residence. Neither Celli nor Clausen were injured by the gunfire.
After an extensive manhunt and house to house search by members of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, Clearlake Police Department, California Highway Patrol and California State Parks, the suspects were found to be hiding inside a residence located in the 3000 block of 15th Street, Brooks said.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office Special Weapons and Tactics Team were called out along with the other local law enforcement agencies to secure a perimeter around the residence, he said.
Two of the suspects, Gallon and Foss, were taken into custody after a brief standoff. Brooks said a Lake County Sheriff’s hostage negotiator was able to convince them to step outside peacefully.
The remaining suspect, Davis, refused to comply with orders to exit and barricaded himself inside the residence. He eventually surrendered to authorities at approximately 8:50 p.m. without further incident, Brooks said.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit processed the scene in Clearlake Oaks and the residence on 15th Street, and worked into the early morning hours to bring the case to a close.
The Bogners' Cadillac Escalade was recovered from an embankment off of Sulphur Bank Drive on Thursday morning, Brooks said. Ronnie Bogner reported that the vehicle was totaled.
Brooks said items taken from the Bogners' residence, including firearms, were recovered from the Chevy Malibu. Clothing worn by the suspects during the robbery, weapons and other items were recovered from the residence on 15th Street by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Jelinek, Foss, Gallon and Davis were arrested for attempted murder, robbery, assault with a firearm, assault with a firearm on a peace officer, conspiracy to commit a crime and burglary. They were transported to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility and booked, Brooks said.
