NORTH COAST, Calif. – A Glenhaven woman was arrested late last week for domestic violence and outstanding warrants.
Christina Leann Nuchols, 36, was arrested by Mendocino County Sheriff's deputies in the Point Arena area on Friday, June 7, according to Lt. Greg Van Patten.
Just before 7 p.m. that day, deputies were dispatched to the 700 block of Port Road in Point Arena for a reported domestic-related dispute, Van Patten said.
He said deputies also received information that the involved parties were associated with a newer black Ford Mustang.
While responding to the location, deputies observed a vehicle leaving the area that matched the provided description. He said deputies initiated an investigative traffic stop on the vehicle and made contact with the two occupants.
Both occupants readily admitted to being cohabitating partners and the involved parties of the reported dispute, he said.
Deputies observed that the adult male had a visible injury to his arm and observed that the female, Nuchols, was intoxicated, according to Van Patten's report.
He said the deputies were able to determine, by speaking to both parties, that Nuchols scratched the male during the alcohol-related argument and caused the injuries to the male the deputies observed.
Nuchols was subsequently arrested and transported to the Mendocino County Jail where she was booked for domestic violence battery and held in lieu of $25,000 bail, said Van Patten.
Nuchols also was booked on two active arrest warrants issued out of Colusa County. Van Patten said Nuchols had a $25,000 bail felony warrant for possession of a controlled substance and a $10,000 bail misdemeanor warrant for being under influence of a controlled substance.
