Just before 2:00pm Wednesday, May 5th, Officers from the Crescent City Police Department responded to an address in the 500 Block of Pacific Avenue for a report of a physical altercation in progress.
When Officers arrived on scene the involved parties had separated and Crescent City Police Officers immediately began an investigation into the reason behind the altercation where it was determined that 36 year Nicholas Webster and the victim were both residents of the same apartment and that Webster had forced his way into a bedroom that the victim was inside of.
Once inside the bedroom Webster then placed the victim in a chokehold and made statements about killing the victim. The victim began to lose consciousness and had trouble breathing, but was able to break the hold and get away from Webster.
The victim was transported to Sutter Coast Hospital and received medical attention for their injuries sustained during the incident.
Webster was booked into the Del Norte County Jail for Attempted Murder, and an ongoing investigation will be forwarded to the Del Norte County District Attorney’s Office for review.
