KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The suspect in a June double stabbing in Lakeport has been caught after more than four months on the run.

Ronald James Blesio, 34, of Nice, was taken into custody just after 9:30 p.m. Sunday in the Kelseyville area, according to reports from the scene.

Circumstances of his capture were not immediately available.

Lake County Jail records said Blesio – arrested by sheriff's Sgt. Chris Chwialkowski – was booked on a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon and a felony bench warrant, misdemeanor counts of battery and obstructing a peace officer, and two misdemeanor bench warrants, one of which has a no-bail hold.

Early on the morning of Sunday, June 12, Blesio allegedly stabbed two men in the parking lot of a Main Street gas station after he argued with them over parking, according to police.

Police believe that Blesio was assisted in fleeing by his girlfriend, Cathi Larae Larson, 44, of Lakeport.

Larson was arrested early Monday morning and booked on a felony count of failure to appear in a felony case and three felony bench warrants, according to Lake County Jail records.

The couple previously were arrested together in May after Lake County Sheriff's Narcotics Task Force members stopped them in a car with a backseat filled with marijuana plants. Neither Blesio nor Larson had medical marijuana recommendations, according to the sheriff's office.

Blesio's previous arrests have ranged from assault with a deadly weapon and battery to weapons charges, including possession of loaded and concealed firearms and being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition, according to the Lakeport Police Department.

Another subject believed to have been an accessory by helping Blesio escape, 66-year-old Lawrence Williams of Lakeport, was arrested June 16, as Lake County News has reported.
