Upon the Deputies arrival, it was determined the victim had sustained major life-threatening injuries.  Due to the severity of the injuries, the victim was transported to an out of the area hospital for medical treatment.  

Deputies were able to locate a blood trail that led to a residence in the 600 block of Locust Street, Garberville.  Once there, Deputies were able to locate two suspects who were determined to be the assailants.  These suspects, Zachary Brown (age 22 from Redway), and a juvenile suspect, were placed under arrest for felony assault causing serious bodily injury.  Because the second suspect is a minor, the identity of this person is being withheld.  

Brown was transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility and booked for felony assault.  The minor was transported and booked into Humboldt County Juvenile Hall for the same charges.
