CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A Clearlake man who is a convicted felon was arrested on Tuesday afternoon on numerous charges after he was found to be in possession of drugs and weapons during an investigation into a domestic violence report.
Police arrested 40-year-old Clarence Albert Hall in the case, according to Sgt. Rodd Joseph of the Clearlake Police Department.
On Tuesday at 9 a.m., Clearlake Police officers responded to a report of a disturbance in the area of the 15700 block of 37th Avenue, Joseph said.
When the first officer arrived, Joseph said it was discovered that the male suspect – identified as Hall – had already fled the scene.
The female victim – whose name was withheld – reported several incidents of domestic violence over the course of the last two weeks with some incidents involving a firearm. Joseph said the woman still had injuries consistent with her claims.
Hall is currently on Post Release Community Supervision, referred to as PRCS, and is a convicted felon, Joseph said.
Joseph said the victim stated Hall had likely fled to a known address located in the 4200 block of Crandall Avenue.
While the investigation was still under way, several officers went to the address on Crandall Avenue and learned from a resident that Hall was inside. Joseph said officers contacted Hall inside the home and were able to take him into custody without incident.
Joseph said that while on scene officers conducted a PRCS search of the room where Hall was found.
Persons who are on PRCS are subject to searches by peace officers with or without a warrant at anytime of the day or night. Joseph said these PRCS searches cover them, the person’s residence, any vehicle under their care and/or control, and any place the person is found or has access too.
Joseph said that during a PRCS search of the room where Hall was found, officers located a loaded handgun, a replica firearm, approximately 20 grams of suspected methamphetamine, more than a pound of processed marijuana in two different bags and two digital scales.
Hall ultimately was charged with felonies including domestic violence, assault with a deadly weapon, terrorist threats, felon in possession of a firearm, felon in possession of ammunition, possession of marijuana for sale, possession of a controlled substance for sale and being armed with a firearm during the commission of a felony, and misdemeanors for exhibiting a replica firearm and a violation of PRCS, according to Joseph.
Joseph said Hall later was booked into the Lake County Jail. Jail records showed he was being held on a no-bail hold because of the PRCS violation.
The case will be referred to the Lake County District Attorney’s Office for charges, Joseph said.
