KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Authorities have arrested a Kelseyville man wanted for shooting at law enforcement officers, Caltrans workers and a county supervisor on Monday morning.

Joshua Caleb “Buck” Brown, 43, was located and taken into custody at 5 p.m. Monday without incident, according to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

Officials said SWAT teams that were searching Brown’s property – not far from the area of the shooting near Highway 29 and Cole Creek Road – found him.

Brown’s arrest brought to an end a manhunt that had continued for more than six hours and involved closures on Highway 29.

At 10:30 a.m. Monday Buck Brown confronted a group of California Highway Patrol officers, Caltrans workers and Supervisor Rob Brown in the area between Cruickshank Road and Cole Creek Road on Highway 29 in Kelseyville, as Lake County News has reported.

Buck Brown had cut an illegal road access in the area, and Caltrans workers were putting up k-rail at the site, Rob Brown told Lake County News.

While the group was at the site, Buck Brown appeared with a gun, then went back to his pickup and retrieved a rifle and began shooting at them, Rob Brown said.

The sheriff’s office said Buck Brown also shot at responding Lake County Sheriff’s units and a State Parks officer who were at the scene before he fled the area on foot.

Rob Brown said early Monday evening that he was glad the incident had been brought to a conclusion without anyone being hurt.

The sheriff’s office said all road closures should be lifted within the hour.
