LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a Northshore woman for a Wednesday afternoon assault and is continuing to try to locate the second suspect who was responsible for stabbing the victim.
Jerrica Marie Reeves, 31, of Nice was arrested on Wednesday night, with deputies still seeking Moses Filburn James Reeves, 34, also of Nice, said Lt. Corey Paulich.
At 1:15 p.m. Wednesday, Lake County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the Pomo Pump Gas Station in Upper Lake for a reported stabbing that had just occurred, Paulich said.
When deputies arrived they found a victim with a stab wound. Paulich said the male victim was transported to Sutter Lakeside Hospital and later was flown to an out-of-county hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
During the investigation, Paulich said deputies learned that the victim was an employee at the gas station. The suspects were identified as Jerrica and Moses Reeves.
Paulich said the pair came to the gas station and started a verbal argument with the victim. The argument turned physical and Jerrica Reeves began assaulting the victim. Moses Reeves exited his vehicle and also began physically assaulting the victim.
The victim attempted to retreat into the gas station and when he did he felt a pain in his back. Paulich said the victim was able to enter the gas station while the suspects fled the area in their vehicle.
Major Crimes detectives responded to assist with the investigation. Paulich said detectives were able to determine that Moses Reeves was responsible for stabbing the victim.
Deputies were able to locate the suspect’s vehicle at a residence on East Robinson Road in Upper Lake. Paulich said deputies were able to contact the owners of the residence who were not home.
He said the owners gave deputies permission to search the residence and surrounding area for the suspects, but they were not able to locate them.
At this time the motive for the assault is still under investigation, Paulich said.
At approximately 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, deputies patrolling in the Upper Lake area stopped a vehicle for a mechanical violation. During the stop the deputies recognized Jerrica Reeves as a passenger in the vehicle and she was taken into custody without incident, Paulich said.
Paulich said Reeves was later booked at the Lake County Jail on charges of accessory to a crime and battery. Due to $0 bail rules that are in effect she was released after booking.
As of Thursday evening, Moses Reeves has not been located and anyone with information related to his location is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 707-263-2690.
Anyone who may have witnessed the assault or who has additional information related to the investigation is asked to contact Det. Dean Preader at 707-262-4231 or
