SYNOPSIS: On Tuesday, 02/28/12 at 1253 hours, SHASCOM received a 911 phone call from a citizen advising that a stabbing had occurred in the area of the above listed address. Members of the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office responded. While enroute to the scene, SHASCOM provided Officers with constant updates of the whereabouts of the suspect. They also advised that one of the victims was now deceased and the second victim was trapped inside of a pick-up truck which had caught on fire.
First arriving deputies responded to the victim who was trapped inside of the truck and tried courageously to rescue the victim. Due to the intensity of the heat, fire and explosions, deputies were unable to extract the victim from the fire. The victim has been identified as Karl Bradshaw.
The second deceased victim was located lying on the ground in front of his residence. He was identified as Ralph Torborg.
The suspect, Thomas McDonald was located just down the street from the victim’s residence. He was taken into custody without incident. When taken into custody, Officers observed him to be cover in blood and tissue matter in which he received from the violent attack and beating he had done to the victims.
Two other victims identified as Captain Ricks and Gary St. Pierre received stab type wounds to their face area. Both were treated and released from the hospital.
Detectives quickly learned that the two deceased victims were innocent bystanders in this violent attack. Karl Bradshaw and Ralph Torborg had nothing to do with the fight that had occurred at the above listed residence. Ralph Torborg was an elderly man who lived just three houses down from the above listed address had lived in Shasta County for over forty years. It is believed that he was working in his yard when Thomas McDonald approached him and beat him to death with a splitting maul. The beating was so severe that it caused major head trauma to the victim. This included his face being crushed, having one hand cut off and partially cutting off one foot.
Karl Bradshaw was an employee at the near by houseboat repair shop and had lived in Shasta County for over ten years. Bradshaw was innocently sitting in his pick-up truck during a break from work when he too, was violently attack with a splitting maul by McDonald. Our investigation revealed that Bradshaw tried to drive away after being stuck in the head numerous times with a splitting maul. The truck in which he was driving drove a short distance and crashed into a boat which was park in front of the above listed address. After the truck came to rest, Thomas McDonald approached the victim again and began violently beating Bradshaw in the head with the splitting maul causing his face to be crushed.
During this violent attack, McDonald admitted to Detectives that he set the truck on fire by throwing a cigarette into a flammable liquid which was draining either from the boat or the truck.
At the conclusion of last nights investigation, detectives learned that this violent attack started at Gray St. Pierre’s residence, 15472 Wonderland Blvd. Thomas McDonald who was living with St. Pierre became upset as he believed that someone was stealing medication from him. Both St. Pierre and Captain Ricks tried to calm McDonald down inside of the residence but was met with McDonald holding a fork in his hands. McDonald stabbed both St. Pierre and Ricks inside the home and then fled outside where he attacked the two deceased subjects.
Thomas McDonald was recently released from prison and is on active State Parole involving property crime, minor assaults and drug related charges.
This investigation is gruesome and our Office is continuing with the investigation.

LOCATION: Churn Creek Road, Redding
SUSPECTS(S): S-1 – Noel Holloway 33 yrs, of Redding
S-2 – Nicole Faulkner, 27 yrs, of Redding
SYNOPSIS: At approximately 2229 hours, Deputy Kyle Wallace attempted to stop a red Chevy, pickup for a CVC violation while they were driving north bound on Churn Creek Road in Redding. When Deputy Wallace turned on his emergency lights, the driver of the pickup accelerated to approximately 60 mph, in an attempt to evade the Deputy. After approximately 2.1 miles, the driver, who was later identified as S-1 Noel Holloway, attempted to turn south bound on Debbie Lane. Due to the speed the pickup was traveling, it was not able to navigate the turn without hitting the curb, causing damage to the front tire, disabling the pickup. Holloway ran south bound from the pickup into the Debbie Lane neighborhood.
Deputy Wallace was not able to immediately follow Holloway, due to a second subject who was hiding inside the pickup. S-2 Nicole Faulkner was located inside the pickup, and was later arrested for a Felony burglary warrant.
After being informed that the license plate on the pick up was registered to a different type of pickup, Deputies noticed the VIN number had been removed from the pickup. Deputies were able to locate a secondary VIN number which showed the pickup had been stolen from the Redding area on 12-1-2011.
Inside the pickup Deputies located numerous, realistic looking replica handguns, a mask, sets of dark clothing and several pairs of gloves. The pickup also contained numerous items that are believed to be stolen.
With the assistance of C.H.P. ground units and H-14, as well as R.P.D., the area was searched for Holloway, however he was not located. Holloway currently has six (6) Felony warrants for his arrest and is being actively sought after by Law Enforcement.

Upon their arrival, they attempted to contact the suspect, whom was identified as Martin Hobbs. Initially, Hobbs was not contacted, since it appeared that he had left prior to the deputies arrival. Both Deputy Green and Deputy Benton left the location and continued their patrol duties.
At approx. 1250 hrs., Deputy Green and Deputy Benton returned to the 20751 Hwy 299 East location, because they had received information that Hobbs had returned. On the elevated front porch, both Deputies Green and Benton where confronted by Hobbs, who had in his possession a sheathed, approx 10” full fixed blade knife (blade later found to be approx 6” with an approx 4” handle.) Hobbs drew the knife from it’s sheath and brandished the knife in a rude and threatening manner. Hobbs was ordered to drop the knife which he initially refused to do. Hobbs then began to cut on his own wrist and again refused to comply with the deputies orders to drop the knife. A “Taser” unit was deployed, at which point Hobbs was taken into custody.
After being handcuffed and then being escorted off of the porch, Hobbs began to fight and also attempted to break free of the deputies. Hobbs had to be taken to the ground so he could be controlled. Once on the ground Hobbs attempted to bite Deputy Benton.
CAL Fire and an ambulance were requested to respond and evaluate Hobbs’ self-inflected injury and any other injuries that he may have received. Upon completion of the field medical evaluation, Hobbs was transported to Shasta Regional Medical Center for further medical clearance prior to being booked into the Shasta County Main Jail.
After medical clearance, Hobbs was transported to the SCSO Main Jail where he was booked.

Deputies gave chase and Nilson crashed Anderson’s car at the east end of Meade Street. Nilson fled on foot but was located hiding behind a nearby house by Deputy Reynolds and K-9 team Deputy Baldwin and Hondo.
Nilson was booked into the Shasta County Main Jail for Auto Theft. Her claim of being assaulted and chased appears to be unfounded.

LOCATION: Cottonwood area
VICTIM(S): Crown Motors
SUSPECTS(S): Jared Anthony Thomas, 24 years
SYNOPSIS: This evening at approximately 2152 hours, while patrolling the Cottonwood area, Deputy Gerry Maul saw an Orange Dodge Charger driving at a high rate of speed on Balls Ferry Road approaching Front Street. Due to the speed the vehicle was travelling, it was not able to stop at the posted stop sign at this intersection. When Deputy Maul attempted to pull the vehicle over, it increased its speed in an attempt to evade Deputy Maul.
The vehicle failed to stop at the posted stop sign at the intersection of Front Street and Main Street as it turned south on Main Street heading towards Tehama County. The vehicle continued driving south at a high rate of speed, then turned west on Bowman Road. The vehicle accelerated to speeds of over 100 mph in an attempt to evade the Deputies. The vehicle turned south on Hooker Creek Road and the driver who was later identified as Suspect, Jared Anthony Thomas, turned the vehicles lights off. The vehicle made a sharp right turn into the Evergreen School parking lot. Thomas fled from the vehicle on foot. Deputy Maul used his K9 partner “Larus” to track Thomas. With the assistance of the Tehama County Sheriffs Office, Thomas was taken into custody.
During the investigation, Deputies discovered Thomas had burglarized the Crown Motors car lot in Redding and had stolen the Dodge Charger and numerous keys to other vehicles. The Redding Police Department is currently investigating the burglary and is looking for a silver, Honda Civic Hybrid, (Ca. license plate # 5BJB837) that was stolen from the car lot at the same time.
