Charles David Berlinghoff, 44, is wanted for detainment or con- cealment of a child from the legal custodian, said Shasta County Sheriff’s Sgt. John Hubbard. Berlinghoff’s niece, Jean Berlinghoff, 15, of Redding, was last seen at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday. Hubbard said the dif- ference between detainment or con- cealment of a child and kidnapping is the use of force or threats. “It does show that maliciously he has kept this child from their parent,” he said. “They want to know where their daughter is, and they don’t want her with this gen- tleman.” A judge signed a felony warrant for Charles Berlinghoff’s arrest at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday — six days after Jean went miss- ing, Hubbard said. He said all of the Charles Berlinghoff two sergeants and eight detectives in the sheriff’s major crime unit are working on the case. “Everybody is involved actively,” he said.

Both victims, who told Daily News file photo The city’s contribution of $19,500 to the Tehama County Branding Project is a step toward revitalizing Red Bluff’s economy, including the downtown business area. By TANG LOR DN Staff Writer The Red Bluff City Council has decided to con- tribute to the county’s branding effort. The council will give the remainder of the city’s $30,000 lake mitigation settlement money to the Tehama Economic Development Corporation in sup- port of the Tehama County Branding Project. The city received $30,000 from the Tehama Colusa Canal Authority in an April 2009 lawsuit settlement. The city sued the canal authority because of the eco- nomic impact of losing Lake Red Bluff once the Red Bluff Diversion Dam gates are no longer operating. In August 2009, the council used $10,500 of the money to contract with consulting firm CTS II to find grant and project opportunities to bring a biomass industry to the city. The remaining $19,500 will be given to the Tehama County Branding Project. With the council’s direction Tuesday, staff will draw See CITY, page 9A officers they had been confronted by several men they did not know, had minor injuries, but did not require medical treatment, a Red Bluff Police Department press release said. The driver of the vehi- cle, identified as Angel Seberino Acuna, 22, of Rancho Tehama, who police believe was not involved in the fight, was taken into custody after the pursuit. Police are still looking for the other occupants including one man whom they believe was the one who stabbed the two vic- tims. The person who stabbed the two men will be facing the charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Officers were initially sent at 3:46 a.m. to the area of Spyglass Drive and Nicklaus Avenue for a fight reported to have eight people involved, some of whom had weapons, the release said. When officers arrived a white Mercury Sable with five men was seen fleeing the area and while officers ordered it to stop the dri- ver failed to comply with the order. Three or four of the occupants fled from the vehicle on foot just before a vehicle pursuit began with the Sable going See PURSUIT, page 9A Burn days mean Eight named to redistricting panel hazy days ahead A controlled burn of a rice field in the Gerber area filled the air over Red Bluff with smoke Thursday, leaving many south city residents wondering about the smoky sky. The county is only allotted a certain amount of agricultural and residential burn days, which means a lot of people will be taking advantage of burn days, said Alan Abbs, Tehama County Air Pollution Control Officer. Aside from the rice field burn there was probably a lot of residential burning going on, which con- tributed to the smoke, because of the anticipat- ed rain this weekend. CalFire did respond to several smoke checks throughout the county Thursday, but not so many that it impacted the department, said CalFire Public Informa- tion Office Kevin Col- burn. People are advised to call the fire department if they suspect a fire that is not part of a con- trolled burn or can see a burn pile with no one in attendance. Today will be another burn day. If there is rain, it will minimize the impact of smoke in the air, Abbs said.
