(Oroville, CA) – The Butte County Sheriff’s office reports detectives are investigating at least one assault, and possibly two, in Oroville over the weekend, which has left one man in critical condition.
Deputies were initially dispatched last Friday night at around 9:00 to a family disturbance in the 4600 block of Virginia Avenue. An injured man at that location was taken to the hospital, however, “later left against medical advice” according to a media release.
Then, Saturday evening at around 8:30, deputies responded to a report of a drunk man who had collapsed in the same block, who turned out to be the same man who had been taken to the hospital the night before.
The preliminary investigation indicates the man had been involved in physical altercations on both nights.
