Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to the 100 block of Kawi Place in Willits about 10:10 p.m. Thursday, for a report of a stabbing.
“Upon arrival, deputies contacted the victim, a 47-year-old male from Willits, and provided medical aid while medical personnel responded to the scene,” the MCSO reported on Friday. “Additional deputies, wardens from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Willits Police Department officers arrived on scene and began searching the area for the suspect,” identified as Jason Ryan Omholt, 47, of Eureka.
“An ambulance arrived on scene, provided the victim with emergency medical assistance, and transported the victim to a hospital for further medical treatment. It was determined the victim suffered life-threatening injuries and there was substantial evidence located at the scene to corroborate that a violent assault had occurred.
“Once the victim was transported, deputies began conducting an assault investigation along with detectives from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office. During the investigation, it was learned Omholt had an active felony arrest warrant out of Humboldt County for 10851 CVC (Vehicle Theft).” Deputies also learned of a possible location where Omholt may have been staying, the MCSO stated.
“Deputies responded to a residence located in the 2600 block of Mitomkai Way in Willits, CA, where they were able to locate Omholt hiding in a bedroom. Omholt initially refused to come out of the bedroom but after further negotiations, Omholt surrendered and was taken into custody without further incident.”
A search warrant was served at the residence where Omholt was staying. At the conclusion of the investigation, Omholt was placed under arrest on suspicion of attempted murder, resisting arrest, and the out-of-county felony arrest warrant. He was booked into the Mendocino County Jail, with bail set at $125,000.
