At this moment, my story, “Who shot Arlo Little?”, has reached 674 people.

That number may increase following this report.

So far this week, The Observer has received two messages requesting that the Arlo Little story be either deleted entirely or in part.

The first message came from a “Lulu Xury,” obviously a pseudonym. She (?) wrote:

“Hi I read your recent article about the shooting with arlo little. I’m concerned that it may put ‘the companion’ at risk of danger. Is there any way you could consider taking it down? I hope you understand and have a wonderful day. Thank you”

First of all, I am not going to consider any course of action recommended to me by someone who won’t even reveal his or her true identity. Tell me who you really are, enable me to confirm your identity, and then we can talk.

Second, “the companion” of Arlo Little was never identified in my story. I could have done so, but chose not to.

So, my story could only potentially put the companion of Little at risk if someone already knew who he was.

For future reference, a much better way for the companion – and other people, for that matter – to stay out of harm’s way is, rather than asking reporters to keep them from being mentioned, but to not associate with people who have long and sometimes violent criminal histories.

Little’s companion almost got himself shot back in March simply by being in the same car as Little. This sort of thing is much more likely to put someone at risk of danger than a news story is.

Next, earlier on Wednesday, The Observer received this message from one B.F. Reynolds. Attempts to verify the true identity of Reynolds were also unsuccessful, although the name itself, unlike Lulu Xury, does not scream “pseudonym.”

Reynolds wrote, “You people should edit this because in reality ‘the companion’ actually was stated as saying it was NOT drug related. Because it wasn’t drug related. Idk [I don’t know] who gave that info to you but they got it a** backwards.”

The source of my information was an official document written by an Orland police officer. The relevant statement in that official document reads, “W1 [Witness #1, who was Arlo Little’s companion] stated that he believed it to be drug related.”

If B.F. Reynolds contacts the Orland Police Department and gets someone in authority to admit that Little’s companion did indeed state “that he DID NOT believe the shooting to be drug-related,” and that person in authority then contacts me about the error, then I will be more than happy to correct the story. Not until then, however.

I would also like to know how B.F. Reynolds acquired his or her information. And as with Lulu Xury, I would like to know what his or her interests in this matter are.

Stay tuned.

Not even COVID could stop the Girls on the Run.

The organization, formed to promote a sense of empowerment and self-esteem in girls in grades three through five, raised an estimated $600 worth of food and other items for the dogs and cats in the Town and Country Humane Society shelter south of Orland.

The shelter is located on Highway 99 between between County Roads 21 and 23, south of Orland. It is a nonprofit run by volunteers committed to the idea of making life better for our furry friends.

Girls on the Run is a national organization founded about 25 years ago. It has a strong presence in the North State, including Glenn County.

On Saturday, the girls took part in a 5K run in Chico. The items collected for the shelter were part of the eight-week program’s endeavor to help the community.

Early Monday afternoon, firefighters responded to a report of a vegetation fire that had spread to numerous vehicles and was threatening several structures.

The Orland Volunteer Fire Department received the initial call. Chief Justin Chaney soon called for mutual aid from the Capay, Artois, Hamilton City, and Willows Fire Departments.

The fire was soon brought under control, and help from Willows was cancelled. Thanks in part to the winds, a spot fire or two ignited in a field south of where the vehicles were burning.

The fire occurred south of a residence in the 6300 block of County Road 24, on the south side of Road 24, just west of Interstate 5 and County Road I.

Glenn County Observer

As reported here on March 30, Glenn County transient Arlo Little was shot in Orland sometime before midnight on Sunday, March 28.

At about 11:50 p.m., Orland Police Officer Kris Fullmore was dispatched to Glenn Medical Center in Willows to contact the victim of a gunshot wound. Upon Officer Fullmore’s arrival, he contacted Glenn County Sheriff’s Deputy Clinton Turner, who told him the gunshot victim, identified as Arlo Little, 31 at the time, had arrived at the emergency room with a gunshot wound.

Deputy Turner told Officer Fullmore that the incident occurred in Orland, and that Little arrived at Glenn Medical Center in a silver 2001 Honda Accord, license plate #4NZP867, which was in the hospital’s parking lot.  Deputy Turner also told Officer Fullmore that a witness was standing by, outside the emergency room.

In the parking lot, Officer Fullmore found a silver Honda Accord with a shattered front passenger window, held together by window tint. The window had what appeared to be a bullet hole in the lower left corner.

Deputy Turner told Officer Fullmore that prior to Fullmore’s arrival, Turner spoke with Little, who alleged that Josh Holden was the suspect who shot him. Little also said the shooting occurred at Savanah Rios’ house on Tehama Street in Orland.

While Deputy Troy McIntire stood by with the Honda, Officer Fullmore contacted Little, who was being prepped by emergency room medical staff for transportation by Enloe Flightcare helicopter to Enloe Medical Center in Chico.

Little was shirtless and Officer Fullmore noted he had a puncture wound on the inside of the lower part of his right arm, as well as a puncture that was consistent with a gunshot wound to the right side of his abdomen. Fullmore also noticed a laceration or abrasion on the left side of Little’s face, below his left eye.

Little claimed that he and a companion (the witness who was earlier said to be waiting outside of the emergency room) went to Orland to meet someone who owed him money. Little stated that when they arrived at the residence, a man holding a gun got out of a red car and demanded Little’s money.

According to Little, the man then proceeded to shoot him. Little said the man then ran off and Little and his companion also left the area.

Little said he did not know who the shooter was because the shooter was wearing a mask. He also said he was not sure how he received the laceration to his face, but he assumed that he was pistol whipped.

Little was unable to describe the gun.

Prior to Little being transported to Enloe, it was asked if Little had been searched. Deputy Turner found a wad of cash and a small tied-off plastic baggie containing suspected heroin in Little’s front left pants pocket.

Officer Fullmore collected the cash and heroin as evidence and secured them in his patrol unit.

Little’s companion stated that Little had just purchased the Honda and he wanted him (his companion) to drive him to Orland to check the car out. The companion said that it was his impression that someone owed Little money, so they were going to collect it.

The companion stated that he and Little drove about a block or so up the street that runs along the east side of Dutch Bros., Ninth Street, which soon turns into Tehama Street. On Tehama Street, the companion stated that Little directed him to turn into a long driveway, where a red car was parked.

Little’s companion stated that when he pulled up to the red car, a man got out of the rear, driver’s side passenger door of the vehicle. Little got out of the Honda and the man immediately ran up to him and began arguing.

Little’s companion said that the man told Little to give him all his money. The companion stated that the man was waving around a small, black handgun.

Little told the companion to start the car and as soon as Little got back into the Honda and shut the door, the man shot Little through the front passenger window. The companion said that the man was not even a foot away from Little when he shot.

Little’s companion said that after the man shot, he ran away, not into the house but past it. The companion stated that he believed the incident to be drug-related, and that it was like the man set Little up.

The companion claimed he did not know who the shooter was, but Little called him “Josh.” The companion said that as Little and the man were arguing, Little asked, “What the fuck are you tripping on, Josh?”

The companion said that the shooting happened at about 11:30 p.m. He then drove Little to Glenn Medical Center.

Officer Fullmore had the Honda towed as evidence to the City of Orland Corporation Yard.

The officer then changed his location to Enloe Medical Center in Chico, where he was given Little’s clothing. He was also told that the bullet was lodged in Little’s left leg.

Officer Fullmore attempted to contact Little, but Little refused to speak with law enforcement.

At about 11:48 p.m., Orland Police Sergeant Sean Johnson was told by Glenn County Sheriff’s Sergeant Barry Corbin that the shooting had occurred at 714 Tehama Street, Orland. Officer Daryl Mills and Sgt. Johnson responded to that location to look for evidence of a shooting.

Officer Mills and Sgt. Johnson began to search the area, starting in the street in front of the residence. In the street, they found a few very small pieces of broken glass.

While searching the driveway of the residence, Sgt. Johnson found a single brass casing that appeared to be either .380 or 9mm. This was found about 60 feet south of the front door of the residence.

Officer Mills and Sgt. Johnson checked the side of the residence and noticed the gate on the east side of it, leading to the alley, was open. The alley behind the residence was checked, but no evidence was found.

Parked in front of the residence, Sgt. Johnson noticed a red 2002 Saturn L300 with no license plates. Around the driver’s side and passenger side doors, Sgt. Johnson noticed smudges in the dust that appeared as if they could be latent prints.

Sgt. Johnson then contacted a woman who was inside the residence. She stated she lives at the residence and no one else was home.

The woman said she had been asleep and did not hear any gunshots or arguments. She also said she had not seen Josh Holden in over a month, and that she does not know Arlo Little.

She said the owner of the red Saturn is her son, Joshua Sligar. According to the woman, Joshua Sligar had not been at the residence in about a week.

The red Saturn was also towed as evidence to the City of Orland Corporation Yard.

As mentioned here in late March, according to Arlo Little’s Facebook page, which appears to have been neglected for the last few years, he attended Willows High School, studied at Butte College, and lives in Willows.

Little has had numerous encounters with law enforcement. His Glenn County Jail booking information in recent years states that he is a Willows transient.

According to the Glenn County Superior Court, Little was found guilty of various crimes in 2016 and 2017. Most of the violations for which he was convicted were drug-related.

Most recently, in August of 2020, Little was convicted of misdemeanor domestic battery and possession of methamphetamine and was found in violation of probation for the fourth time.He was sentenced to 364 days in jail and probation was terminated.

The Orland Police Department urges anybody with information about the shooting of Arlo Little to contact the department at 530-865-1616.
