SWAT Surrounded Mendocino Home for Five Hours Before Suspect in Attempted Murders Surrendered
This is a press release from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:
On 09-25-2015 at approximately 11:09 PM, Deputies from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office acted upon information that Manuel Rodriguez was in a residence in the 22000 block of Airport Road in Covelo, California.
Rodriguez was wanted on a Mendocino County felony arrest warrant for making criminal threats and was also a suspect or person of interest in several other serious crimes committed in the last sixty days.
Those crimes include residential and commercial burglaries, a vehicle pursuit, vehicle thefts, a strong arm robbery and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Rodriguez was also the suspect in two separate incidents of attempted murder involving a firearm.
Deputies arrived at the residence on 09-26-2015 at 12:20 AM and formed a perimeter around the residence. The residence was completely dark but movement could be heard from within.
Due to the threat presented by Rodriguez, the on-scene supervisor made the decision to call for the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office SWAT Team. For almost five hours announcements were made over a loudspeaker for the person(s) inside the residence to surrender themselves to no avail.
From a position inside their SWAT vehicle, Deputies were able to strip the window coverings from two front windows and see into the home.
Rodriguez including three other persons could be seen inside the residence and they subsequently surrendered themselves without further resistance.
Rodriguez was arrested for the felony warrant while Lucy Bell Lincoln, Deborah Jean Lincoln and Tasha Nichole Wake were arrested for harboring, concealing or aiding a principal wanted in a felony.
In addition, Lucy Bell Lincoln had two active arrest warrants for a probation violation and failure to appear in court.
All four individuals were booked into the Mendocino County Jail where Deborah Jean Lincoln and Tasha Nichole Wake were to be held in lieu of $15,000.00 bail.
Manuel Rodriguez and Lucy Lincoln were to be held on a No Bail status.

The headline made me think this happened in Mendocino, on the coast near Fort Bragg……. Glad they got this career criminal off the streets, what a dirtbag.
Another probable illegal being allowed to invade the country and nearly kill how many? This is how they act in his own country and it is being brought here and all are at risk from this invasion.
He is Native American.
Thank You Kym for clearing that up for rising tide!
Is that you Donald Trump? I heard you were in Mendo recently. Plenty of scumbags are born here, too.
Oh the irony.
Your attempt to link this individual incorrectly to an ethnic group you don’t like is outright racism. It is ironic that the individual is a Native American [edit] A little research would show you that many Native Americans in California were stripped of their real names and were forced to use Hispanic surnames by the murderous Spanish maggots claiming to be missionaries who destroyed and enslaved the native cultures.[edit]
Glad this criminal is off the streets!!good job yay…another one bites the dust
Manuel Rodriquez is a common name for an American Indian today? Or is it a much more common name south of the border? He could be from many places and born from parents illegally here or he might be an anchor baby from an illegal and a native. Regardless of it, a violent criminal like this needs to be dealt with just like the open border.
Perhaps the problem isn’t so much illegality or the Hispanic race but rather poverty…or perhaps just grouping people together in one stereotype. I see a lot of Caucasians being responsible for crimes and no one seems to be making the argument that they are costing billions in welfare, prisons and schools and medical.
Bingo! Its called xenophobia. Rather than looking at the most common factor in crime i.e., poverty exacerbated by our capitalistic oligarchy, they blame someone’s race, unless they are caucasian.
Just the facts ma’am… Joe Friday
Enjoy your weekend!
Was the Shooter that Killed all those innocent People in Oregon an Illegal?
The answer is yes, he wasn’t enrolled in that school and it’s also illegal to have a firearm on campus…
