Obituary: Delores L. Brockway, 86

With her son and daughter by her side, Delores L. Brockway (Decker) died at home on Monday, April 12, 2021. She was born on Oct. 19, 1934.

When Delores and her husband moved to Willows in 1958, they had two sons, Jack and Jim. Delores worked at Daughtrey’s Department Store on Tehama Street.

In 1961, Delores had a daughter named Debra. Delores and Don had three businesses at three different locations at different times.

Two of the businesses were Murphy’s Tavern on Tehama Street, and Dee’s Tavern on Butte Street. That’s where she got her nickname, Dee.

During this time, Debra’s dad played music and would play at the bar with some local friends. Then the boys learned to play the guitar and drums, so they played with Don and Delores would get up and sing, “Are You Mine”.

Daughter Debra just loved that song. “They were so awesome,” she recalls.

Delores could do the Jitter Bug better than anyone Debra had ever seen. Delores was involved in pool tournaments and shuffle board tournaments on Friday nights.

Delores would make tacos and everyone would show up because she made the best and she could cook chicken. If you ate it the next day, it was just like she just cooked it.

She would have bean feeds at the bar or parties at the lake with loud music. She always collected the keys to keep anyone from driving home.

She loved fishing, camping, bingo and the casino. But most of all, she loved her whole family.

She also really loved to watch The Ranch, Sling Blade, O Brother Where Are Thou? and Fried Green Tomatoes.

“My Momma, Delores, is my best friend and the best mother anyone could ask for,” her daughter, Debra says. “She was my best friend. I love you, Mama.”

She is survived by her sons, Jim and Jack Decker; daughter Debra Maddox; and more grandchildren and great-grandchildren than you can count. She was preceded in death by her husbands Don Decker and Al Brockway; her parents; her sister; her brother; and two grandchildren.

She will be missed by all who knew her.

Update to Saturday’s DUI crash in Capay

By Larry Judkins

Glenn County Observer

Capay District – A little more is known now than before regarding Saturday’s crash on County Road 9 at First Avenue.

According to the California Highway Patrol, at about 3:15 p.m. on April 10, a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup was traveling east – not west as previously stated on The Observer’s website ‑ on County Road 9 at First Avenue.

The driver, now identified as Martin Castellon-Delgado, 32, of Orland (according to the CHP) or 851 Pomona Avenue, Chico (according to the Glenn County Jail), stated that another driver, traveling westbound, came into his lane, so he swerved to avoid a collision.

Handcuffed, Martin Castellon-Delgado is about to be placed in the back of a patrol unit by CHP Officer Vasquez. Glenn County Observer photo by Larry Judkins.

Castellon-Delgado ran off the road and hit a ditch and his vehicle came to rest on its passenger side. As reported in The Observer on Saturday, the pickup was initially blocking both lanes of County Road 9, but a mechanic’s truck arrived and pulled the Dodge onto its wheels so that it was blocking only the eastbound lane of Road 9.

The Capay Fire Department was dispatched to the scene, but Castellon-Delgado was not injured so the volunteers were soon canceled.

At some point, Pablo Castellon-Delgado, 31, of 755 Humboldt Avenue, Chico, arrived at the scene, driving a GMC Yukon. It is still unclear what involvement, if any, Pablo Castellon-Delgado had in the accident.

Nevertheless, both Castellon-Delgados underwent field sobriety tests, which, apparently, they both failed. Both men were booked into the Glenn County Jail on charges alleging driving while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, and driving while under the influence of alcohol (both misdemeanors).

The bail for each man was set at $10,000.

Gutierrez arrested for third time in a month

David William Gutierrez, Jr.

By Larry Judkins

Glenn County Observer

David William Gutierrez, Jr., was arrested and booked into the Glenn County Jail on Thursday, April 8.

That is the third time in less than a month that he has been a guest in the county’s Graybar Hotel.

The first of these three check-ins was on Thursday, March 18, when an Orland police officer conducted a traffic enforcement stop on a white 1991 Honda Accord at Tehama and Fourth Street. Gutierrez was arrested and booked for a Glenn County warrant alleging disobeying a court order (a misdemeanor).

His bail was set at $12,000.

The second time was on Friday, April 2, when a man encountered a trespasser on his property. When the man told the trespasser to leave, the trespasser pulled a gun on him.

The property owner left the scene, and so did the trespasser. However, the alleged trespasser’s car (or one similar to it) was spotted by an Orland police officer in the 700 block of Tehama Street, and the officer made a felony stop (a stop made at gunpoint), thereby detaining the driver.

The driver was David Gutierrez. Whether or not he was the same individual who exhibited the firearm, Gutierrez is a parolee and officers began searching him and his vehicle.

Handcuffed, David Gutierrez is led from a patrol unit. Glenn County Observer photo by Larry Judkins.

Gutierrez was brought out from the patrol vehicle in which he had been waiting so that the property owner could be driven by in another patrol vehicle and possibly confirm that Gutierrez was indeed the man who threatened him with a gun. Gutierrez leaned with his back against his own car, in handcuffs and facing the street, as a sheriff’s unit slowly drove by.

It is still not known with certainty whether Gutierrez was identified as the man with the firearm. Nevertheless, although no gun was found in Gutierrez’s possession at the time, ammunition was allegedly found, and that is also a felony for a parolee.

Gutierrez was booked into the Glenn County Jail on charges alleging possession of ammunition by a prohibited person, smuggling a controlled substance into a prison, and violation of probation (all felonies). His bail this time was set at $30,000.

Apparently, the property owner did not positively identify Gutierrez as the individual who threatened him. Glenn County Observer photo by Larry Judkins.

Given that he was not charged with anything like making criminal threats, assault with a deadly weapon, or even trespassing, it seems unlikely that Gutierrez was identified as the man who pulled the firearm on the property owner.

Most recently, on Thursday, April 8, deputies were dispatched to the 4300 block of County Road HH, Orland, for a report of a suspicious vehicle parked along the roadway. The vehicle was described as a white Honda with a black hood.

Upon arrival, the deputies found the described vehicle and contacted the sole occupant, David Gutierrez. Deputies conducted a records check on Gutierrez and discovered he was allegedly on misdemeanor probation out of Glenn County, with search terms listed.

Deputies executed a search of the vehicle in the area where Gutierrez was seated. They reportedly found a white crystalline substance consistent with methamphetamine, and six white pills in the front center console.

Gutierrez was subsequently placed under arrest and transported to the Glenn County Jail for booking. The vehicle was released to the registered owner, Jennie Swope, of 301 Eighth Street, Orland.

It is unknown whether Gutierrez qualifies for a discount under a loyalty program offered by the jail.
