$75,000 bail set for suspect arested for holding a loaded revolver on an innocent bystander at Covelo library

On 01-09-2016 at about 3:26 PM, Mendocino County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to a reported unknown adult male armed with a handgun, shooting into the air outside of several downtown businesses in the 76000 block of Highway 162 in Covelo, California.

While responding, Deputies were advised the unknown adult male was near the Covelo Public Library, where he had just placed a loaded revolver up to the head of an innocent bystander.  The unidentified adult male demanded the bystander’s cellular telephone and then left the area on foot.

Deputies arrived and located a person matching the adult male suspect’s description near the 20 block of Tabor Lane.

Deputies attempted to stop the person who began to run away while holding a revolver in his hand.

The person ran behind a large wooden fence and Deputies were able to have the subject exit from behind the fence by use of verbal commands.

The person, identified as Alva Reeves, was subsequently arrested in connection with reported incident.

Deputies searched the area of the fence and located a loaded .38 caliber revolver with the hammer drawn back.

Reeves was booked into the Mendocino County Jail where he was to be held in lieu of $75,000.00 bail.
