Covelo Couple Accused of Beating Man With a Bat
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 07-13-2019 at about 2:49 AM, Mendocino County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to a reported disturbance the area of the 76000 block of Highway 162 in Covelo, California.
It was reported that a gun shot was heard and a vehicle left the area at a high rate of speed.
While on the way to the call Deputies were advised by MCSO Dispatch there was an assault victim in the area of Main Street and Greeley Street and medical was dispatched. Deputies were told that a male and female were assaulting a male.
A few minutes later Deputies were advised by MCSO dispatch that it was reported that Colter Reynolds and his girlfriend, Jessica Durazo where assaulting someone with a bat.
When Deputies arrived, they contacted Antonio James Tickner at which time they observed several traumatic injuries to his upper body.
Tickner identified his attackers as Colter Reynolds and Jessica Durazo. Tickner said he was walking past Reynolds’ residence when some words were exchanged.
Durazo exited the residence and struck Tickner in the front of the head with a baseball bat, causing injury to Tickner’s forehead. Durazo handed Reynolds the bat, who then pushed Tickner to the ground and repeatedly struck Tickner on the right side of his body and back with the bat.
Reynolds and Durazo then went back into the residence. Tickner said he got up off the ground and walked away top get help.
Tickner was treated at the scene by Covelo Ambulance personnel for the injuries to the left side of his forehead, the back of his head, his right side and back. Tickner refused further medical treatment and was released at the scene since he was refusing further medical attention.
Deputies had dispatch check Reynolds and Durazo for warrants and probation. Deputies were advised that Reynolds was currently out of jail on bail for an unrelated incident, and Durazo was on Felony Probation for unrelated Assault with a Deadly Weapon case.
Reynolds and Durazo were subsequently located in the 76000 block of Main Street in Covelo and they were arrested without incident.
Reynolds was arrested for 245(a) (1) PC, 12022.1 PC and Durazo was arrested for 245(a) (1) PC and 1203.2 PC. Both were transported to the Mendocino County Jail.
Reynolds was booked and was to be held in lieu of $55,000.00 bail while Durazo was held without bail due to violating her probation.

Could you please follow up with the rest of the story as Mr. Tickner was found dead on the highway a couple of hours later.
This is as far as we’ve got so far.
Kym, i sure hope you are outside with a refreshing beverage this evening.
What an intense news day!
Still struggling to get finished here.
Why would MCSO repeat that “Tickner refused further medical treatment and was released at the scene since he was refusing further medical attention.”….. Seems if he was really found dead on the Hwy 2 hours later that maybe there was some internal hemorraging from the bat & that maybe MCSO may already have known the rest of the story when this pr went out…. tragically violent event in one of the most historically violent places in the entire Wild West….. Covelo has an intense history which anyone who has studied would know…. it was once the home of 20,000+ people who lived there at once, those first inhabitants were slaughtered, then it was a place of genocide where indians were sent from as far away as So Cal and Klamath, once they reached Covelo Valley Aka Nome Cult Farm/Round
Valley, they were restricted from leaving even though they were starving and starved to death. When detainees would kill a stray cow or a sheep or pig to satisfy their hunger after all the game had been shot and chased away, they were mercilessly hunted down and slaughtered, not just the guilty starving indian, but the entire village would be wiped out and killed, women, children old and young alike. Women young girls and young boys were kidnapped, sexually exploited by prominent Mendocino Pioneers and “driven” like cattle to Sacramento and San Francisco where they were sold to wealthy families and wealthy ranchers for sexual desires and servitude. Open up a history book like Genocide and Vendetta The Round Valley Wars, When the Great Spirit Died, Killing for Land, The Destruction of the Indians in Mendocino Count, Google William Jarboe, Eel River Rangers, Mendocino War, Mendocino Genocide, Mendocino Trail of Tears, these genocides were sanctioned by the “prominent good citizens” of Mendocino County…. study the history of how we got to this violent present day…. Covelo has a blood stained genocidal history.
Carol is correct, this is the just the beginning of this story. That said, when Ms. Dorazo struck James on the FOREHEAD she showed some grave malice. When she handed the bat to Colter to finish the job, that in my opinion, is diabolic. The story, as Carol stated, continues. Soon I believe we’ll see two Blackbelt stories mesh into one.
This is all hear say! Believe what u want! This mother Funder came to my house and hit me first! All my neighbors will back me up! Fuck you!
Fuck off! You don’t know the story!
I was asleep when this fucker woke up the whole neighborhood wanting a fight! If the cops actually did some police work we wouldn’t be here!
Is there something in the air today??? First it was the woman thrown from a moving vehicle & now this!!! Holy Crapola Naymard!!!
Man, Covelo is making Alderpoint look like a community of monks……
Murder Mole Hill
Wheres the rest of the comments Kym? Says 11, mine I posted last night is somehow gone or vanished!!
I’m behind on moderating. Give me a half hour.
Covelo is Alderpoint on Bath Salts…. for comparison…. Alderpoint is just spun out tweekers and druggies, Covelo is multi-ethnic community of survivors who survived a 150 + year holocaust and genocide by the state and Mendocino County Citizens, Government and Sheriff Department. In all honesty, imho the Covelo crime has really gotten out of hand in part because Sheriff Tom Allman doesnt really like or care about Covelo or Indian peoples in general. Covelo has suffered for decent law enforcement ever since Deputy Miller acccidently shot his partner Deputy Davis and they were unsuccessful at framing the murder on Bear Lincoln….. Covelo is Mendocino’s Forgotten step child, they pay great sums in taxes and get no protection or services in return…. this is the shamefull racist legacy of Mendocino County: shame on Allman, shame on shame on MCSO and Mendocino County Board of Supervisors!!
I might also add that Covelo and beyond had a HUGE influx of Growers in the past 10 years.
Seems last time I was their, they had there own Tribal Police.
Does RVR really pay County taxes? The role of Sheriff’s deputies on sovereign land goes according to agreements between the Tribal and County governments. Of course, if the Tribe doesn’t think they’re getting their money’s worth they can withdraw and use the funds to bolster their own police department.
Poor bat. It probably bit the guy as they were hitting him with it. Hope it wasnt injured.
What the fuck [edit] my nephew is dead and you sick fuck talk about a poor bat. [edit]
Prior article on Durazo.
>”Jessica Durazo entered the female’s house holding a pump action shotgun. Durazo said she was going to “kill” one of the female’s family members who was sitting in the living room.
Durazo then pumped the action of the shotgun, at which time the female told Durazo to get out of her house because she was calling 911. Durazo left the house breaking windows on a vehicle parked in the driveway…
Deputies learned Durazo was on summary probation out of Mendocino County and had an outstanding warrant for her arrest for violation of probation. Durazo was placed under arrest without incident.”
Probation Violation. Felonious assault with a shotgun… and they let her out.
That`s how they do it in Covelo! I love it!! Covelo is sort of like Humboldt Co. only with more violence.
This website is a real hoot! I love it!!
It`s sort of like an S. Clay Wilson comic brought to life. Now, we just need the Checkered Demon, Captain Pissgums and the Hog Riding Fools.
This is why we need to keep people like this in the brink. Eventually they escalate to this. Mendocino sure has had an upsurge of violent crime. Time to get these outlaws off the streets. Time for new legislation. It’s getting out of hand. Why these two were released given their past violent behavior is unbelievable! Sad.
We can thank Tom Allman once again!
Sheriff Allman Do ur Job!!
The Sheriff works for the County and the Board of Supervisors Must do something about the Sheriff doing nothing to solve crime! Mendocino County Sheriff is letting these gangs take over while the Sheriff’s ONLY CARE is revenue for his department by busting Cannabis Farmers and seizing (stealing) their property which the department and it’s deputies as well as the County cashes in on. Think about it, The Sheriff Department only wants to enforce laws and investigate crimes if there ks the golden goody of money to be made from assett forfeiture!!!! It is a capitalist Sheriff Department!! Meanwhile up to 35% of the Sheriff’s resources are dedicated to “marijuana eradication”…. yet there are numerous missing persons cases (upwards of 25-30) and numerous (15+) unsolved murder investigations which sit on the back burner while the Sheriff directs his forces to continue the focus on cannabis. It is simple to conclude that the Sheriff is misguided and is not looking out for the public safety or solving and fighting felony crimes and murders. Not only is the Sheriff prejudiced in his assault against cannabis farmers, but he is doing the community a real disservice by not fighting the gangs or arresting serious criminals which are robbing, burglarizing, assaulting, murdering, and destroying the safety of our community. Cannabis is already legal, the Sheriff needs to focus on solving real crimes not just seizing assets for his department! This is ludicrous that the war on pot goes on, it goes on with a complete disregard for the criminal gangs moving into the County, the war on pot goes on while missing persons families seek their loved ones but the Sheriff focuses on pot instead of solving crime. How many unsolved crimes are there in Mendocino, and all the MCSO does is go after asset forfeiture moneys….. we can thank Allman and Eyster for the rapant uptick in serious violent crimes.
A lot of times the criminal gangs are involved, illegally, with the cannabis scene. And we can’t blame the sherrifs when some criminal decides to go ballistic. A little personal responsibility, like my Conservative adversaries advise, goes a long way.
The victim was white, the assailants mixed race, white, native and Mexican so why the long diatribe about Native American Carnage? The role of the Sheriff? Marijuana?
We hate each other, no matter race or religion, say the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time you get your face beat in with a bat. It’s happening everywhere, Covelos style of hate isn’t special it’s symptomatic of the plague that has persisted since the beginning of time.
The victim was a Tribal member…. so hopefully this case won’t be put on the back burner with the rest!!
It’s unbelievable how many people you see in the bookings for Failure to Appear or have warrants, and they are let out without having to appear on the FTA!! It surely looks like they are making money off the ones that have a bail amount. At least keep them until they go to court…being they already “failed to appear”!!!
Honestly, people at this point in time if you did a DNA test on everyone the amount of blood Quantum that’s truly native is probably not very much at this point. 💯 Very few people have pure blood anymore, who has pure white blood or Asian blood or whatever type of lineage it’s all getting fairly well mixed. But here’s the BIG ticket item folks… why the hell are we wasting time on Spyrock when they should be up in Covelo??? The level of crime up there as far as Mendocino County goes is multiple times the rate anywhere else in the county. Nearly 4,000 Sheriff’s calls a month go to Covelo no other community has even an eighth of that many calls a month. DUIs, tweeking as a lifestyle, Arson, rape, shootings, kidnappings, not to mention hundreds of hoop houses, ridiculous grows, incredible meth labs,violence after violence after violence. Hey MCSO, NATIONAL GUARD go to Covelo you’re wasting your time up Spyrock!!! Oh WAIT… that’s what it is they can get more money seizing things, money or marijuana etc than they can off the struggling wild west population in Covelo.
It’s like life in a Petri dish, life in a test-tube up there eventually it’ll all kill itself out if something doesn’t happen.
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
(Sighs) Covelo has been that way since the 1970’s… and maybe before that too.
Your comment is true enough though… there should be a substation up there with 4 deputies…
maybe (after a while) they might clean it up. Dunno.
💯there Bozo. Stating the obvious. Anyone can see whats happening in Covelo… even if they are blind in one eye and the other is clouded with cataracts!!!
Agreed Bozo they do need a substation there. MCSO just completed a cute little carriage house substation restoration in Mendocino. Hell in COVELO a trailer would do! Boots on the ground are needed up there! 😢😢😢😢😢
It’s a little more complicated with sovereign jurisdictions. How agencies such as Sheriff’s departments are allowed to operate is bound by agreements with the sovereign. The National Guard has no standing without an agreement between the State and the sovereign.
Sovereign does not apply to ALL of Covelo last I checked. There is A LOT of privately held land that funky things are happening on you bet your bippy! Possible too that some of the “sovereign” lands are being misused and they hide behind others and “sovereignty” as well. So here’s the thing if it ain’t “right” it ain’t “right” no matter where you’re from or who you are. Shooting, beating folks, killing, druggin’, excessive drinking, raping, molesting, siffing paint, slinging dope or rx pills and all that other stuff isn’t generally good behavior correct? And most folks might agree they hope that life holds better things then that list.
Yes, all that stuff is bad. Sometimes bureaucracy gets in the way of dealing with it effectively, which can lead to the frustrations expressed in this thread.
I vote for Mendocino Mamma for Sheriff! She’d clean up the place!
Based on the headline alone . . .
If the man had a bat, how did the couple beat him?
Or, was it a race, and the man had the unfair advantage of flight with a bat, and the couple still beat him to the finish?
Some days, the only way to stay sane is to make light of $h!t.
