CLEARLAKE OAKS, Calif. – Lake County Sheriff's deputies have arrested a Clearlake man for attacking and stabbing another man on Wednesday night.
Jared Silverio Rosalez, 26, was arrested for attempted murder, according to Lt. Steve Brooks.
Brooks said deputies responded to a reported stabbing just after 9 p.m. Wednesday at the Clearlake Oaks Tower Mart, located at 12583 E. Highway 20.
The deputies contacted the victim, who said he had been stabbed and noticed he was bleeding from a laceration to his stomach, Brooks said.
The victim told deputies he was sitting on a bench located at the business when a subject – later identified as Rosalez – walked up and punched him multiple times for no reason, according to Brooks.
Brooks said the victim was not sure when he was stabbed, but noticed the knife in Rosalez’s hand when he was running from the scene.
Several witnesses provided a description of Rosalez and said he was last seen running westbound on Highway 20, Brooks said.
A short time later, deputies located Rosalez near the intersection of Highway 20 and Lakeview Drive, where Brooks said Rosalez was attempting to flag down vehicles to obtain a ride.
When deputies contacted Rosalez they noticed he tossed a knife toward the side of the road. Brooks said they were able to seize the knife as evidence and take Rosalez into custody without further incident.
Rosalez was arrested for attempted murder and transported to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility where he was booked, Brooks said.
Rosalez's booking sheet showed he was being held on $1 million bail, with a court appearance tentatively scheduled for April 28.
Brooks said the victim was transported to a medical facility where he received treatment for his injuries.
