Two men were arrested after kicking down a Hornbrook man s door in the early morning hours on Dec. 27, spraying him with bear mace and kicking him while he was on the floor before he could escape out a window to safety.
Suspects Steven Charles Ferea, 47, of Castro Valley, and Corey Matthew Boatman, 31, of Stockton were later found in the area with a brand new cell phone, a chainsaw, a generator and several other items identified as stolen from the home, said the Siskiyou County Sheriff s Office, which is still investigating the crime.

Due to the sharp increase in COVID-19 cases in Siskiyou County and throughout the state, including Siskiyou, jury cases at the Siskiyou County Court will be delayed until January, at least.
Judge Karen Dixon had hoped cases would resume this month.
The tentative plan is now to begin the jury trial of Michael Lee Wilson on Jan. 11. Wilson is accused of attempted murder in a stabbing in Mount Shasta in July of 2019.
Siskiyou County district attorney Kirk Andrus said he understands the reasons for the delay. “From our perspective it just isn’t safe for jurors to gather and congregate at this time due to the COVID classification we are under,” he said.
