GLENHAVEN, Calif. – A report of a disturbance early Sunday morning at the Glenhaven Beach Resort resulted in the arrest of two Glenhaven women.
Candy May Henderson, 45, and 25-year-old Theresa Anne Blakesley were taken into custody after they both fought with deputies, according to Capt. James Bauman of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
Bauman said deputies responded to the trailer park at about 6:20 a.m. Dec. 12 when the park manager reported multiple complaints from other tenants of yelling and banging coming from Henderson's home.
On the deputies' arrival, one deputy was confronted by Henderson in the doorway of her trailer. Bauman said Henderson was highly agitated, reportedly yelling and cussing at the deputy with her hands clenched into fists, and pointing a large hunting knife at the deputy.
The deputy backed away from the woman and, at gunpoint, ordered her several times to drop the knife, Bauman said.
Henderson eventually dropped the knife but as the deputy started ordering her to her knees to be handcuffed, she suddenly stood up and charged the deputy, Bauman reported.
Bauman said Henderson was pushed to the ground and as another deputy arrived to help control her, she fought with both deputies, punching and kicking them until one deployed his Taser and she was taken into custody.
As Henderson was being taken to a patrol car, the other deputy checked the trailer for other occupants and found Blakesley pacing around inside, Bauman said.
Blakesley initially refused to exit the trailer and kept reaching into her purse for some reason. Bauman said she eventually was talked out of the trailer but then began fighting violently with the deputy as he tried to detain her.
Bauman said both deputies struggled with Blakesley as she fought to escape but after another Taser deployment, she too was taken into custody.
Both women were booked at the Lake County Jail, Bauman said.
Henderson was charged with felony brandishing of a weapon and misdemeanor charges of battery on a peace officer and resisting arrest, Bauman reported, while Blakesley was charged with misdemeanor resisting arrest.
Neither the suspects or the deputies involved in the incident were injured and there was no apparent explanation for the initial disturbance or the behavior of the two women when they were contacted by deputies, Bauman said.
Both women remained in custody Monday night, according to Lake County Jail records.
