Assault
On Oct. 26 at 7:31 p.m., a report of an assault was received nearby the above collision location along Highway 97 and the north entrance to the 108 Ranch. A volunteer firefighter, standing near scene assisting with traffic control with northbound traffic, observed a black Ford truck registered to a male out of Williams Lake approached the scene and attempted to turn around using a standard three-point turn to go southbound. While turning around, the vehicle bumped the firefighter, whose stop sign accidentally struck the vehicle as he fell onto his back, but he immediately got up again. The male driver, described as 5 ft 9 inches tall and in his forties, got out of the truck and physically threw the firefighter to the ground. The unknown male then re-entered the black Ford truck and fled the area southbound along Highway 97. The firefighter does not believe the driver struck him with the vehicle intentionally, however, the suspect’s further actions against the firefighter are another matter. Fortunately, the firefighter suffered only minor injuries as a result of the assault. This investigation is ongoing.
