CHP TRUCKEE REPORT

On January 10, 2016 at approximately 1500 hours, a California Highway Patrol Truckee Area Officer observed a disabled vehicle on Interstate 80 westbound, located within the Donner Lake Vista Point. Upon making contact with the occupants of the vehicle, the Officer noticed several spent bullet casings and bullet holes in the body of the vehicle. After a brief discussion with the occupants, the Officer determined that a domestic violence incident had occurred in which the male occupant, Harris Maynard Riddle, of Stockton, CA, had fired several shots from a 9mm pistol into the body of the vehicle. During the assault, one of the rounds struck the female occupant in the leg. The firearm used was recovered in the vehicle, at which time Riddle was arrested for various weapons charges and the attempted homicide of the female victim. The victim was transported to the Tahoe Forest Hospital where she was treated and released for a single gunshot wound to the leg. The scene was secured by members of the California Highway Patrol Truckee Area and Truckee PD. Riddle was booked at the Nevada County Sheriff’s Truckee Jail. The CHPs Investigative Services Unit and the Multiple Accident Investigation Team will handle the investigation to its conclusion.
