Ukiah Man Arrested After Report of Fight on Pinoleville Drive
UKIAH, CA — “On 10/17/2026 at approximately 7:30 P.M., Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office Deputies were dispatched to the 600 block of Pinoleville Drive in Ukiah, CA, for a report of two subjects fighting. Upon arrival, Sheriff’s Deputies contacted a 24-year-old female victim who reported that a subject, identified as Andrew Horse of Ukiah, assaulted her following an argument in the street outside a residence.
During the altercation, Horse struck the female victim several times in the face and pushed her to the ground, resulting in facial injuries. Responding medical personnel evaluated the victim, who was subsequently transported by ambulance to Adventist Health Ukiah Valley Hospital for medical treatment.
A records check revealed Horse was on active California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) parole for 245(a)(4) PC – Assault Likely to Cause Great Bodily Injury. His parole terms required him to obey all laws and abstain from alcohol consumption. During the investigation, Horse was reported to be under the influence of alcohol. Sheriff’s Deputies searched the surrounding area, including Horse’s residence, but were unable to locate him.
At approximately 9:50 P.M., Sheriff’s Deputies received another 911 call from the 600 block of Pinoleville Drive in Ukiah. Upon arrival, Sheriff’s Deputies located Horse involved in a physical altercation with a 48-year-old male victim.
Sheriff’s Deputies detained Horse and continued their investigation. They learned that when Horse returned to the residence, he armed himself with a kitchen knife and approached the door of the room where the previously identified 24-year-old female victim was located, stating he was going to stab her. The 48-year-old male victim intervened by positioning himself between Horse and the room, preventing Horse from entering. Horse then threatened to stab the male victim, and the two became involved in a physical altercation. Sheriff’s Deputies arrived during the altercation and detained Horse.
Based on the investigation, Sheriff’s Deputies developed probable cause to believe Horse committed the following offenses: 245(a)(1) PC – Assault with a Deadly Weapon Other Than a Firearm, 3056 PC – Parole Violation, and 242 PC – Battery.
Horse was transported to the Mendocino County Jail, where he was booked on the listed charges and is being on a no-bail status.
