LAKEPORT— Hunter Christian Toles, 23, of Cobb, charged with two counts of attempted murder and numerous other charges remains in custody as he was present at the Lake County Superior Court for a preliminary hearing.
During the recent hearing Deputy District Attorney (DDA) Nicholas Rotow filed a motion to continue in Court as defense attorney, Thomas C Quinn, submitted on the matter, stating the defendant will not be entering a time waiver.
The master calendar call hearing has been set for July 29, 2022 with the preliminary hearing set for Aug. 3, 2022.
Attorney Quinn stated that he may be involved in a jury trial on Aug. 3, 2022 and he requested that DDA Rotow have witnesses available on Aug. 4, 2022 and Mr. Rotow agreed.
Last month the defendant entered a not guilty plea to all counts of the complaint and denied the special allegations.
The defendant has been charged with two counts of attempted murder, three counts of assault with firearm on person, battery with serious bodily injury and abuse (endangering a child with possible great bodily injury).
The charges stem from an incident in June when Lake County Sheriff Deputies responded to a complaint of a woman who had been shot in the vicinity of Rainbow Road on Cobb Mountain.
According to Lt. Corey Paulich with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, the victim was contacted and able to provide the identity of the suspect. She was transported to the hospital with a non-life threatening gunshot wound.
The suspect was located at a residence on Rainbow Road and taken into custody. The defendant remains in custody at the Lake County Hill Road Jail in Lakeport with bail set at $3,085,000.
The defendant is ordered to be present at the scheduled hearings.
