Month: October 2021

Glenn County Observer

An early Sunday morning drive-by shooting in southeast Orland resulted in one person being transported by ambulance to Enloe Medical Center in Chico.

The incident seemed to be foreshadowed by a report of possible gunshots around midnight in the general area of Woodward Avenue and Walker Street.

It was decided that the sounds heard were actually fireworks.

Then, around 3:30 a.m., Orland police officers were dispatched to 1309 Brookside Drive for another report of gunshots.

This time, the report was accurate.

Brookside Drive runs north and south, just south of the fairgrounds. Brookside is immediately to the east of Fairview Street, where the main entrances of both Fairview School and WestHaven Assisted Living are located.

At 3:35 a.m., volunteers with the Orland Fire Department began receiving messages regarding the incident.

Truck 29 announced that it was responding at 3:40 a.m.

The fire dispatcher in Corning said, “You are responding to 1309 Brookside Drive. Scene is secure for gunshot victim. Your medic unit was Westside, responding from Orland.”

Moments later, Truck 40 announced that it was also responding.

Due to heavy radio static, a law enforcement officer made a mostly unintelligible comment about finding “no vehicles” that may have recently left the scene of the shooting.

At 3:43 a.m., a volunteer on Truck 29 stated it had just arrived at the scene. Four minutes later, Truck 40 did the same.

Seconds later, Truck 29 said they were available and returning to the firehouse. Westside Ambulance, the Truck 29 volunteer said, was transporting one victim.

Also on board the ambulance was a firefighter who went along to assist the ambulance personnel. A volunteer from Truck 40 stated they were heading to Enloe to pick up the rider.

Truck 29 was back in quarters at 3:52 a.m. This was the 618th incident to which the Orland Volunteer Fire Department responded so far this year.

At about 4:15 a.m., Orland Police Officer Ryan Martindale told the Glenn County Sheriff’s dispatcher that he was on his way to Enloe Medical Center, presumably to conduct interviews and/or collect evidence.

Minutes later, Orland Police Officer Edgar Pinedo, who also responded to the shooting, went off duty.

Roughly 45 minutes after saying he was heading to Chico, Officer Martindale said he was returning to Orland.

No suspects’ names were given over the air on Sunday, and not even the name of the shooting victim was mentioned. A bullet, however, was recovered from the scene.

At 7:30 a.m., Officer Martindale went to a neighboring house on Brookside Drive, presumably to interview potential witnesses.

It is hoped that more information will be made available on Monday, Nov. 1.

Here are some selected incident reports from the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office.

Sunday, Oct. 24:

5:22 a.m., while on patrol, Deputy Tuma located a single-vehicle accident in the area of Highway 99 and County Road 43, near Willows. Deputy Tuma contacted Brandon Boers, 29, of Chico, who was uninjured. Boers claimed he was the passenger in his own vehicle and the driver, who he did not know, fled the scene. CHP officers responded and determined Boers was the driver. Boers was ultimately placed under arrest by the CHP for allegedly driving while under the influence.

5:48 a.m., Tony Xiong from Glenn Medical Center comfort care reported the expected death of Miriam Haynes, 83, of Elk Creek. The decedent suffered from pre-existing illness and was entered into hospice care on March 22. Next of kin, Susan Thurman, was notified at the time of death.

Deputy Rasmussen responded and contacted Doty, who reported hunting gear and a shotgun were taken from the vehicle. The estimated loss was $4,465. Two other residents who live on Shasta Street reported their vehicles had also been rummaged through sometime during the night, but nothing of value was taken and both parties declined to make a report. Extra patrol was requested.

12:52 p.m., John Cecil reported trespassing on his property in the area of County Roads PP and 58. Two vehicles had driven onto his property and one of them got stuck in the mud. Cecil requested the subjects be admonished for trespassing. Deputies responded and contacted Cecil, who directed deputies to an area about a half-mile east of Roads PP and 58, where a 1995 Toyota Corolla was stuck in the mud. Roy Benningfield was contacted walking away from the vehicle, back toward the paved road. Benningfield said the vehicle got stuck when his mother thought she was taking the backroads toward Gridley and went off the paved road onto the gravel road. The road turned into dirt and was impassable due to mud. Benningfield had help on the way to assist with getting the vehicle out. Cecil allowed Benningfield and his help to pull the vehicle out, then they were admonished for trespassing. A records check showed Benningfield had an active no-bail arrest warrant out of Butte County. Benningfield was arrested and was transported to the Glenn County Jail for booking. After Benningfield was arrested, the people who came to help him with the vehicle left the area without getting the vehicle out. Benningfield’s sister, Ramona Benningfield, was provided with Cecil’s phone number and advised to contact him when they wished to return and remove the vehicle from his property.

7:28 p.m., Jessica Asbury contacted the sheriff’s office, reporting a male transient was at Dollar Tree, 460 North Humboldt Avenue, Willows, causing a disturbance and making threats towards employees. Deputy Tuma was dispatched and contacted Asbury. After an on-scene investigation, the threats were determined to not reach the level of criminal threats. The transient was contacted and identified as Dean Short, who was allegedly found to be in possession of a concealed fixed-blade kitchen knife. Short was placed under arrest for allegedly being in possession of a dirk or dagger and transported to the Glenn County Jail, where he was released to jail staff for booking.

Upon further investigation, Deputy Alves concluded that the vehicle Dowden was driving had not been in a collision with Aylward’s vehicle. Aylward refused any assistance and was uncooperative.

“This could have gotten a whole lot uglier.”

This was the observation of Hamilton City Fire Chief Dan James at the scene of a structure fire south of Orland on Sunday, Oct. 17.

At about 1 p.m., the Orland Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to a report of a structure fire at 6433 County Road 21.

This residence is located between Highway 99 and Interstate 5.

This section of Road 21 dead ends at I-5, and 6433 is located near the west end of the road, near the freeway.

There are several homes in close proximity to one another along this stretch of County Road 21. Late Sunday morning and early afternoon, there was a strong breeze coming from the south, blowing ashes and embers across the road and onto the property of the residence directly to the north.

The fire could have easily spread to other properties.

These conditions are undoubtedly what Chief James was referring to when he said things could have gotten a whole lot uglier.

Immediately after the first Orland Fire Department units arrived on the scene, they began calling for mutual aid.

Among the fire departments that responded were Artois, Hamilton City, Capay, Willows Rural, and Glenn-Codora.

Westside Ambulance was also on-scene for a while, and PG&E showed up to shut off the power to the property.

A neighbor later commented, “We live nearby and heard a very loud explosion when [the fire] started.”

The fire completely reduced the property to charred rubble. At least three vehicles were also destroyed.

Firefighters were at the scene for hours. Then, a little after 6 p.m., another call went out to the Orland Fire Department.

This one was for a fire in the bed of Stony Creek, in about the same place where an arson fire started early Saturday evening, Oct. 9.

In fact, just as before, the fire was located north of the continuation school on Roosevelt Avenue.

Again, mutual aid from nearby fire departments was called in. Unlike the fire from about a week earlier, this time firefighters were helped by a light rain that was falling in the area.

Firefighters were at the scene until about 9:30 p.m., when it was announced cleanup was complete for the night, but Orland firefighters would be returning Monday morning.

The cause of either of Sunday’s fires was not yet known to The Glenn County Observer.
