Cobb man arrested for early Tuesday morning shooting
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Authorities have arrested a Cobb man for an early Tuesday morning shooting.
Hunter Christian Toles, 23, was arrested for attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, said Lt. Corey Paulich of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Paulich said sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the Rainbow Road area of Cobb Mountain at 12:30 a.m. Tuesday on the report of a female who had been shot.
He said deputies contacted the female victim who had sustained a nonlife threatening gunshot wound.
The victim was able to provide the location of the incident and the identity of the person who shot her and she was subsequently transported to a local hospital for treatment, Paulich said.
Paulich said the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit’s detectives served a search warrant with the assistance of the Sheriff’s Crisis Response Unit at a residence on Rainbow Road in Cobb.
It was there that Toles, who the victim had identified as the suspect, was taken into custody without incident, Paulich said.
Toles was transported to the Lake County Jail. Booking records show that Toles’ arrest occurred shortly after 6 a.m. and he was booked just after 9 a.m.
Counts on his booking sheet included battery with felonies of serious bodily injury, aggravated assault with a firearm and aggravated child abuse, and a misdemeanor of exhibiting a firearm in a threatening manner.
He remained in custody with bail set at $100,000 on Tuesday afternoon, based on his booking sheet.
Jail records show he is due to be arraigned in Lake County Superior Court on Thursday.
Paulich told Lake County News on Tuesday afternoon that detectives were still investigating and interviewing witnesses.
Regarding previous contacts the sheriff’s office had with Toles, Paulich said it was mostly with him as a reporting party in incidents.
Anyone with information related to this incident is asked to contact Detective Nate Newton at 707-262-4236.
