LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Sheriff’s Office said it has arrested a Cobb man for stabbing another man during a fight on Tuesday evening.

David Clark, 42, was taken into custody for the incident, according to Lauren Berlinn, the sheriff’s public information office.

At 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a stabbing in the Middletown area, Berlinn said.

Berlinn said the initial information incorrectly indicated that the incident may have occurred at Middletown High School. 

However, deputies quickly confirmed this was not the case. The incident did not occur on school grounds and was not associated with any school activities, Berlinn said.

At the time deputies arrived, Berlinn said the injured individual was located across the street at a nearby gas station, where he was waiting for medical assistance.

“This was an isolated incident, and there is no ongoing threat to students, school staff or the broader community,” Berlinn’s report said.

Berlinn said the investigation determined that the stabbing occurred earlier at Trailside Park in Middletown. 

Witnesses reported that Clark and another adult male were involved in a physical altercation at the park, during which Clark stabbed the victim.

After the incident, the victim left the park and drove to the gas station, where he was evaluated by paramedics before being transported to an out-of-county hospital for treatment, Berlinn said.

Deputies later located Clark at his residence, where he was taken into custody without incident, according to Berlinn’s report.

Berlinn said deputies arrested Clark on charges related to attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
