JERRY W. SMITH
SHERIFF-CORONER
DATE : September 1, 2010
RELEASED BY : Lieutenant John Kuhn
On September 1, 2010, at approximately 9:25 am,
Sergeant Bryan Marshall and Deputy Todd Reinhardt were
conducting an eviction at 14122 Temple Circle in
Magalia. After the deputies knocked on the door and did
not receive an answer, a locksmith opened the front
door of the residence. When the deputies started to
enter the house, they were confronted by a man who
appeared to be holding a shotgun. The deputies ordered
the man to put the gun down, but he did not comply. The
deputies backed out of the residence and attempted to
get the occupant to talk with them. The occupant did
not respond.
Additional deputies responded to the scene. With the
help of Paradise Police Officers, the neighboring
houses were evacuated and a perimeter was established
around the house. The Butte County Sheriff’s SWAT team
was called out. The Butte County Interagency Bomb Squad
also responded. Although communication over a loud
speaker was attempted with the occupant, the occupant
never responded.
At approximately 12:30 pm, a single gun shot was heard,
originating from within the residence. Shortly
thereafter, smoke started coming from the interior of
the residence. Fire and Medical personnel were staged
in the area. The Butte County Sheriff’s SWAT team
deployed tear gas into the residence. At 2:55 pm, a
male subject later identified as Howard Adams (DOB:
10/28/47) exited the residence through the rear garage
door. He was taken into custody without further
incident.
The scene was turned over to Sheriff’s Detectives. For
further information on this case contact Sergeant Jason
Hail at 538-7671.
After being medically cleared he was booked at the
Butte County Jail on charges of 69 PC (resisting or
deterring an officer) and 417(c) (brandishing a firearm
in the presence of a peace officer) with a bail of
$100,000.00.
Sheriff Smith would like to thank the nearby residents for their cooperation and the other public safety agencies for their assistance.
