Priest is someone who works HONOR TehamaCounty Cowbelle of the Year named on Saturday By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF A final pretrial hear- ing was set Monday to continue to Dec. 18 for Anthony Nahinu, who is charged with shooting a teen- age girl July 19 near the Red Bluff Diversion Dam, after he rejected an offer given by the prosecutor. The prosecutor offered Nahinu an assault with a deadly weapon charge instead of the previous charges against him, which in- cluded willful and premeditated murder. The sentence for assault with a deadly weapon is five years to a maximum of 17 years. Defense Attorney David Nelson said Nahinu declined the offer. A counter offer may be presented at the next hearing at 11 a.m. Dec. 18 in department three. Nahinu turned himself in on Aug. 19 at the Tehama County Jail after being on the run for a month. COURT Teenager charged in shooting rejects deal Staff Reports RED BLUFF Emergency person- nel were called out to the Villa Columba Apartments, 460 Main St., about 8 p.m. Friday to reports of an armed man with a possible injured hostage who was making threats. Red Bluff Police Dispatch re- ceived a 911 call from a resident of Villa Columba at 7:52 p.m. Fri- day requesting police respond to his apartment, but advising he was armed with firearms and in- tended to shoot the police upon their arrival, Sgt. Matt Hansen said in a press release issued Sat- urday afternoon. The caller said there was an- other man that needed imme- diate help inside his apartment, but would not elaborate on why he needed help, the release said. Upon arrival, Red Bluff Police Officers made contact with neigh- bors who said the man was yell- ing that he had a gun and was intending to kill people, the re- lease said. Assistance was offered by Tehama County Sheriff's Dep- uties and the California Highway Patrol. The CHP helicopter could be seen flying in the downtown area, using its spotlight to assist, until about 9 p.m. Officers surrounded the apart- ment and could see the man through a window as the dis- patcher tried to negotiate with him after he refused officers' re- quests to come out. Nearby at the Red Bluff Fire station fire personnel were staged to assist should medical treat- ment be needed. Due to the man's threats and lack of cooperation, officers were concerned for the safety of the man inside and residents of the surrounding units. Eventually, officers were able to get the man to open his back slid- ing door and made face to face contact, during which he stepped outside and the officers could see he was unarmed. The man resisted when officers attempted to detain him, but they were able to get handcuffs on him quickly, the release said. The apartment was checked and it was determined there were no injuries during the in- cident and no firearms or other POLICE Claimofinjuredhostageafalsealarm By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Art on display at 28 different businesses for the 2015 Tehama County Arts Council sponsored Art Walk celebration was expected to draw quite the crowd to the downtown Red Bluff area over a two-day period. Between 2,500 and 3,000 people were expected to at- tend the 13th annual event just on Friday evening, said Bill Belcher, a Tehama County Arts Council board member. Numbers have been well over the 3,000-person mark in years past when the economy was better. "We're trying to develop and grow community interest in art and to make it interac- tive," Belcher said. "We're also looking to show Red Bluff is not just a stop on the freeway. We are a lot more than that." Great shops, the rural atmo- sphere and the "fantastic art- ists" found in the community are just part of what makes Red Bluff great, Belcher said. "There are many parts to make up a great community," Belcher said. "Art is one of those. It is one of the building blocks to a better lifestyle." On Saturday, there was the addition of food trucks as well as a children's area hosted by lead recreation coordinator Erin Luevano. "We had at least 30 kids today," Luevano said. "They trickled in, coming in groups. It's fun to watch them be cre- ative." Activities included puzzles to be solved, sidewalk chalk to draw with and an activity with a pre-drawn tree, pipe clean- ers and stickers in which kids could decorate the tree. Pat Swithenbank of Red Bluff was one of many who came out Friday for the art, in part because of two artists in particular, she said. "I've lived here 26 years and this is probably the best art show we have had," Swith- enbank said. "I'm a big fan of Judy Forny and Joyce Turley."
