CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A Clearlake man who posted bail after being arrested for a shooting earlier this week has been arrested again, with his bail raised at the request of prosecutors.
David Glenn Ford Jr., 25, was taken into custody again on Thursday, according to a report from Sgt. Ryan Peterson of the Clearlake Police Department.
Peterson said that at approximately midnight on Tuesday, officers responded to the 3200 block of Park Street for a report of a gunshot victim.
Based on the investigation it is believed that Ford, along with another person got into an argument with subjects near the 3300 block of 10th Street in Clearlake late on Monday night. Peterson said Ford and the other person then followed the subjects he was in an argument with to a residence in the 3200 block of Park Street, where the argument continued.
The resident of the home, a 54-year-old male, exited the house and confronted Ford. During this confrontation, Peterson said it is believed that Ford shot the resident and fled the scene with the other person whom he was with back to his residence on 10th Street.
Peterson said the shooting victim was transported to an out-of-county medical facility for treatment. As of this time, he is reported to be in stable condition.
Detectives from the Clearlake Police Department Investigations Bureau responded to the scene, Peterson said.
Peterson said detectives obtained a search warrant and during the execution of the search warrant, they ultimately arrested Ford on probable cause for attempted murder and assault on a person with a firearm.
He was booked into the Lake County Jail with his bail set at $250,000. Ford bailed from the Lake County Jail prior to any court proceedings, Peterson said.
After further review of the investigation, Peterson said the Lake County District Attorney’s Office requested a warrant for Ford’s arrest through the Lake County Superior Court with an increased bail set at $1,500,000.
On Thursday afternoon, Peterson said Clearlake Police officers located Ford in the area of Sixth Street in Clearlake, placed him under arrest for the warrant and booked him into the Lake County Jail.
As of Saturday, Ford remained in custody pending further court proceedings, which his booking sheet indicated will take place on Tuesday.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Leo Flores at 707-994-8251.
