Lake County standoff suspect allegedly opened fire at authorities

A 63-year-old Lake County man is behind bars after allegedly firing at law enforcement personnel during a Saturday evening standoff on Kerr Dam Road.

Rick Riebe is being held on pending charges of partner or family member assault, assault on an officer and criminal endangerment, Lake County Sheriff Don Bell said in a media release. More charges could be forthcoming, he said. 

Lake County deputies headed to the Kerr Dam Road home about 7:30 p.m., April 6 after receiving reports of domestic violence in the house. Bell said the victim had fled the house and a relative alerted authorities after seeing their injuries.
