The day after a Little River man was arrested for alleged attempted murder of a woman following a welfare check request, a Fort Bragg man was arrested under similar circumstances, the Fort Bragg Police Department reported.
According to the FBPD, officers responded to a residence in the 100 block of Ebbing Way around 4 p.m. March 28 when a welfare check was requested on a woman who possibly had been assaulted.
When officers knocked on the door of the home, they reported hearing a woman “screaming for help and a male voice attempting to quiet her and preventing her from opening the door for law enforcement. Finding the door locked, officers forcibly entered the home and encountered the male suspect, later identified as Christopher Grewer, 67, of Fort Bragg.”
After Grewer reportedly “refused to comply and retreated upstairs,” the officers engaged in a “brief struggle” with the suspect before “successfully apprehending Grewer without injury.”
The officers then reported learning that “Grewer had engaged in a verbal altercation with the victim which escalated to physical violence on March 27, (and that they) identified evidence indicating that Grewer assaulted and strangled the victim with an electrical cord on three separate occasions while threatening her life should she contact law enforcement. Grewer also confiscated the victim’s cell phone, preventing her from seeking medical assistance.”
The FBPD notes that the victim “sustained multiple physical injuries consistent with strangulation and physical assault, requiring transport to Adventist Mendocino Coast Hospital for treatment,” then she was later released.
Grewer was then booked into Mendocino County Jail on suspicion of attempted homicide, domestic violence (false imprisonment) and violating a court order. The FBPD adds that its officers “sought and obtained an Emergency Protective Order for the victim and a bail enhancement for Grewer, raising his bail to $500,000.”
The department also says that “anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact Officer Pacheco with the Fort Bragg Police Department at (707) 964-2800 ext. 246 or email apacheco@fortbragg.com.
