Fortuna Police Are Searching for a Man Who Allegedly Choked a Woman Unconscious

Fortuna Police Badge.

Fortuna Police are searching for a man who allegedly choked a woman unconscious today in the 2700 block of Highland Drive in Campton Heights area. According to Lt. Matt Eberhardt of the Fortuna Police, about 10:29 a.m., law enforcement received a report of a suicidal man at a residence in that area.

When officers met with the woman who reported the incident, she told that she had been choked unconscious by the man who she lived with. Then when she recovered and spoke to the man about what occurred, he threatened suicide.

The woman was eventually able to flee the scene and contact law enforcement. “[The woman] was initially seen by medical but refused transport,” Eberhardt explained.

Officers later learned the man had fled on foot from the couple’s home. “The [woman] believed he had a knife but did not witness the knife,” Eberhardt said.

Fortuna Police have issued a BOLO for a suspect–a white male adult, age 49, who is 5′ 11″ and weighs approximately 275-300 pounds. He has a shaved head and blue eyes. The man, the BOLO gives his name as James Edward Shinn, was last seen wearing a red shirt and blue jeans.

They are looking to charge him with PC 273.5 (domestic violence) and PC 245 (A)(1) (assault likely to cause great bodily injury.)

The Bolo is embedded below.

Eberhardt asked, if the suspect is observed, please call Fortuna Police at (707) 725-7550. “We are continuing to look for him,” he said.

I’m just sorry he didn’t carry out the suicide before the assault.

That first comment could have been moderated out but I understand a need for diversity. For instance Im diverse enough to think the above comment was meant to be humorous in a sarcastic way and meant to reflect the absurdity of some men’s need to blame women for how their lives may be going. A person trying to kill another person in order to get peace and quiet may find it easier to handle that need in another more…hmmmm…peaceful way.

I can’t really say I’m too against suicide for consenting adults 21 and older, either medically assisted or regular everyday variety. Live and let die, I guess. #Pro-choice nation. Ok, que the do-gooder haters….

Yes indeed, it is a nation of death. Abortion. Suicide. Mass murder. School shooters. Endless war. Not a right or left issue. An issue of immorality. I weep for America.

I see this guy is up to his old ways, even after his last prison stent. Meth is one hell of a drug!

None of this situation is funny, when you have family that live only a few houses away.
