Marcus John Iano, 42, was arrested late Friday night, according to a report from Lt. Corey Paulich of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
On Friday evening an unresponsive adult female was brought Adventist Health Hospital in Clearlake for a report of a possible overdose, Paulich said.
Paulich said the woman was transported to the hospital by her boyfriend Marcus Iano and his mother, Susan Iano, who left the woman at the hospital but returned later.
At approximately 6:30 p.m. Friday deputies were notified that an exam found evidence that the female had a foreign body in her brain, indicating a possible bullet wound or similar injury, according to Paulich’s report.
He said the victim was unconscious and was flown to an outside area hospital for further treatment for life-threatening injuries.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Detectives were called to the hospital to investigate, Paulich said.
As a result of the investigation and subsequent search warrant served at Marcus Iano’s home in Hidden Valley Lake, Iano was placed under arrest for attempted murder. Paulich said Iano was transported to the Lake County Jail where he was booked for that charge.
As of Wednesday the victim was alive but Paulich said it’s unknown if she will recover from her injuries.
Marcus Iano is currently being held at the Lake County Jail with a bail amount set at $1.5 million.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Richard Hinchcliff told Lake County News that Iano made his first court appearance in the case on Tuesday. At that time, he was arraigned on charges of attempted murder, mayhem and torture.
Hinchcliff said Iano should be back in court early next week for further proceedings.
Paulich said the investigation is still ongoing.
