MENDOCINO CO., 11/30/25 – A Ukiah man was arrested Saturday after allegedly threatening another man with a weapon and ramming the victim’s vehicle as he tried to escape, the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office said.
Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched around 6:30 p.m. to the 100 block of Lake Mendocino Drive in unincorporated Ukiah after a man reported that an unknown man pointed a firearm at him.
