SHOOTING IN LIVE OAK
On Sunday at approximately 2:30 p.m. the Butte County Sheriff's Department received a transfer call from Sutter County Sheriff's Department of a gunshot victim on Township Rd. in the Gridley area.
Sutter County deputies secured the scene until Butte County deputies arrived to take over the investigation.
It was reported that the gunshot victim was the suspect in an attempted theft of a car carrier trailer which was located in the 400 block of Township Rd.
Butte County Deputy Brett Marsters contacted the victim of the attempted trailer theft and was informed that the suspect and another male attempted to remove a car trailer from the victim's property.
According to the police report, the victim attempted to stop the suspects as they fled from the property, with the victim and a friend chasing them.
It was reported that the victim then went back to his house, retrieved a shotgun and his quad runner and attempted to locate the suspect who was on foot.
The victim located the suspect and tried to stop him from leaving the area.
The victim allegedly fired a warning shot into the air and the suspect who was identified as, 20-year-old Steve Osment, fled again.
The victim allegedly fired again toward the ground and it was reported the suspect still did not stop.
The suspect attempted to stop a passing vehicle, telling the two women occupants that someone was trying to kill him.
The women stayed at the scene and called 911.
Osment was transported to Enloe Medical Center for treatment of his wounds from the bird shot.
He was later interviewed by deputies and arrested for attempted vehicle theft and prowling. Bail was set at $10,000.
The Butte County Sheriff's department is continuing the investigation to try to identify the other involved suspect which fled the scene.
