Machete attack, cheese theft

The Glenn County Sheriff’s Office grappled with two strange occurrences in recent weeks.

According to a press release, last Monday (March 4) around 1:40 a.m., a man was attacked with a machete at Grindstone Rancheria. The victim, 27-year-old Carlos Hill, reportedly was walking with two youths when Dudley Burrows Jr., 39, drove up and the men began arguing. Burrows allegedly brandished a firearm before attacking Hill with the machete and driving away. Hill suffered major head and arm injuries and was transported to Enloe Medical Center. Burrows was arrested at his Elk Creek home two days later.

According to GCSO logs, between Sunday night and Monday morning (March 10-11), a man allegedly broke into the Sierra Nevada Cheese Co. in Willows, stealing about $3,600 worth of equipment and apparel, including a company car and $30 worth of “cheese products.”
