CLEARLAKE OAKS, Calif. – Sheriff's deputies have arrested two people for a Sunday afternoon stabbing.
Matthew Shaun Williams, 26, of Clearlake, along with a 15-year-old male – whose name was not released due to his age – were taken into custody on Sunday, according to a Monday report from Sgt. Corey Paulich of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
Paulich said that at approximately 1:13 p.m. sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the area of Elem Drive in Clearlake Oaks for a reported brandishing of a knife.
While deputies were en route, a second caller reported a physical fight and a possible stabbing, Paulich said.
When deputies arrived they located a male subject who had a puncture wound to his left side. Paulich said the victim was transported by air ambulance to an out-of-county hospital for treatment.
As of Monday, the victim remained in the hospital in stable condition, Paulich said.
Paulich said deputies located several witnesses in the area who identified Williams as being responsible for stabbing the victim and also identified the juvenile as having been involved in the assault.
Deputies subsequently took both Williams and the teen into custody for felony assault with a deadly weapon, Paulich said.
Williams was booked into the Hill Road Correctional Facility, where he remained in custody on Monday afternoon, with his bail set at $25,000. Paulich said the teenager was booked into the Lake County Juvenile Hall.
Paulich said the motive for the attack is still unclear. Detectives from the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit are continuing the investigation and interviewing additional people.
Paulich asked anyone with information regarding this incident to contact the Lake County Sheriff’s Office at 707-263-2690.
