On 03-05-2014, at
approximately 10:20 a.m., the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office received a
report of man at Redwood Memorial Hospital, Fortuna who was being treated for
an assault.
A deputy responded to the hospital emergency room and met
with the 22 year old male victim from Fortuna, and his 19 year old girlfriend
who witnessed the incident. The deputy could see the victim had abrasions on
his forehead, a swollen left eye socket and lacerations to his mouth. The
victim also received a broken hand which required surgery.
The victim reported he was driving with his girlfriend in
his white 2005 Audi southbound on US 101, at about 12th street at
approximately 10:10 a.m., on 03-05-2014, when they noticed a Blue Dodge or Ford
truck following them. They exited U.S. 101 onto Kenmar Road, Fortuna and began
to drive south on Eel River Drive. The truck drove in front of them and began
forcing him by slowing down and swerving side to side, while the solo driver
motioned for them to stop. They stopped at the area of the Strawberry Farm. The
victim got out of his vehicle to see why the truck driver was stopping him. The
driver of the truck exited his vehicle and then beat up the victim with his
fists.
The girlfriend told the deputy they may have accidentally
cut off the suspect, which upset the suspect.
The
suspect is described as follows: White male adult,
approximately 6’4”, approximately 250 lbs, brown hair, late twenties to early
thirties. The suspect vehicle is described as Blue Dodge or Ford, Oregon Plates
with a number “8” in the sequence.
Anyone with information for the Sheriff’s Office
regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the
Sheriffs Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriffs Office Crime Tip line at
