Jonathan W. Davies, a physician who admits patients to Sutter Lakeside Hospital, was arrested this week on one charge of inflicting corporal injury to an or intimate partner.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call on Monday night at 10:45 p.m. Davies was booked less than an hour later on a felony charge. Authorities have released little information, other than that Davies was allegedly involved in a physical dispute.
He was later released on a $25,000 bond.
Dr. Davies, of Lakeport, has practiced in obstetrics and gynecology for 21 years with no history of sanctions or board actions against him.
“We are aware of Dr. Jonathan Davies’ arrest Monday evening by the Lake County Sheriff’s Department,” Siri Nelson, Chief Administrative Officer at Sutter Lakeside said. “We have made arrangements with other physicians to ensure no interruption of patient care while Dr. Davies takes voluntary time off from the hospital.”
Under California law, willful infliction of corporal injury may be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony. The latter carries a potential sentence of up to four years in a state prison.
