A Sacramento man was shot during a drug deal Sunday afternoon in Yuba City and three people are at large, police said.

The 20-year-old was wounded in an arm and a leg just before 2 p.m. in the 1200 block of Casita Drive. Police Commander Tom Tappe said Monday that the wounds were non-life threatenin­g.

Two of the victim’s associates, Ramon Keye, 23, and Jordyn Tolbert, 20, also of Sacramento, were arrested on suspicion of transporti­ng/selling marijuana, possessing cannabis for sale and conspiracy.

Tappe said police believe the victim, Keye and Tolbert were in the area attempting to sell marijuana – they had more than a pound of cannabis in their vehicle. Three men driving a gold Honda or Toyotatype vehicle attempted to steal the marijuana, Tappe said, and police believe shots were exchanged both ways; though police only know of the one victim.

The three men, all black, fled the scene and are still on the run. The shooting is still under investigat­ion, and anyone who may have informatio­n is encouraged to call the police at 8224660.

A 42-year-old Yuba City man, arrested last December on allegation­s that he sexually assaulted a child over the span of several years, pleaded not guilty in Yuba County Superior Court on Monday.

Williams Louis Inderbitze­n was arrested by the Marysville Police Department Dec. 19 at his home in the 1300 block of El Dorado Lane on suspicion of committing lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14.

The department received reports last August

A juvenile was arrested after allegedly firing shots at a vehicle Sunday morning in Yuba City.

Police were dispatched about 10 a.m. to the intersecti­on of Wilbur and Del Monte avenues.

They determined that a dark green Honda pulled up to two youths, and one of the boys pulled out a handgun and fired toward the car, police Commander Tom Tappe said Monday.

It is unknown if anyone in the vehicle was struck, and so far there’s no informatio­n to indicate there were any injuries, he said.

Only the alleged shooter was arrested, on suspicion of unlawful discharge of a firearm at an inhabited vehicle and discharge of a firearm in a grossly negligent manner that could result in injury or death.

Tappe said he did not have informatio­n to indicate the shooting was gangrelate­d, though police aren’t ruling anything out at this point.
