Though, all he wants is some attention and a person to bring him out to the play yard for some time outside. He’s a moderate energy type of guy, who would likely be just fine with a simple walk around the block before joining you on the couch to watch Netflix and chill.

Further evaluations need to be done to see how Dilbert does with other dogs. If there happens to already be another dog in the home, or even children, it’s always recommended to bring them along for a meet and greet at the shelter to ensure everyone gets along.

“The vehicle did not yield to the enforcement stop and a vehicle pursuit began. The pursuit lasted only a few minutes in Susanville city limits before leaving town east on Hwy 36,” explains SPD Captain Michael Bengoa-Bollinger.

Two SPD units continued the pursuit until deputies from the Lassen County Sheriff’s Office were able to join the chase from the area of Sunnyside Road and Hwy 395, allowing one of the city’s police units to return to town.

At this point the California Highway Patrol was advised of the pursuit and attempted to place a spike strip in front of the suspect’s vehicle in the area of Hwy 395 near Janesville, but as reported by the lead unit, the vehicle did not appear to have been affected by the device.

The suspect’s vehicle eventually turned off Hwy 395 onto Lupine Lane, coming to rest against a tree. The driver and passenger fled from the vehicle.

After a perimeter had been set up, both subjects were arrested. During the search of the area for the suspects their abandoned vehicle appeared to have sparked a vegetation fire which burned a large tree. The vehicle was completely destroyed by the fire.

“Both subjects were located and arrested after a brief search in under ten minutes.”

One subject identified himself as 28-year old Fernley, Nevada resident Daniel James McNeill.

“The second subject refused to answer any questions and was booked into the Lassen County Jail as John Doe, until his fingerprints returned. He was subsequently identified by his fingerprints as True Mason Hanley, 24, with no address provided.”

According to Bengoa-Bollinger, McNeill had an outstanding Misdemeanor Warrant for Injury/Tampering with a motor vehicle from Lyon County Nevada. Both subjects were charged with failing to yield as a Felony, obstruction of a peace officer and a felony count of causing fire to forest lands. The case had been referred to the Lassen County DA for review.

“SPD would like to thank the Lassen County Sheriff’s Office, California Highway Patrol and all the Fire Departments who responded quickly to control the fire.”

Susanville Airport from the air, 1941

Aviators Pay Lassen Visit

September 5, 1949 

About 45 out-of-town aviation enthusiasts enjoyed the breakfast flight to the local airport Sunday morning, in spite of the drizzling cloudy weather. At least 150 were expected by the local flight club had the weather been favorable.

Twenty airplanes arrived between 6 and 7 a.m. twelve from the Reno-Sparks area; two flew from San Francisco, and others came from the Bieber, Little Valley area.

Stunts and flying skill contests occupied the morning with winners receiving free passes to the rodeo.

Gail Stone of San Francisco won the spot-landing contest in his culver Cadet. The paper cutting contest which consisted of unrolling a long string of paper from the plane and doing drop wing-overs to cut it, was won by Norman Keel from the Sparks Air Park. Keel cut the paper five times. Due to low hanging clouds he was only able to climb 1200 feet before starting his wingovers.

Clyde Deal flew the plane from Morley of Little Valley dropped the winning flour filled ‘bomb’ in the bomb target contest.

Paul Langslet put on an exhibition of acrobatic flying in his open cockpit Stearman Navy surplus trainer, John McLeod did some stunting in his Rearwin.

W.B. Barbee and Les Coffin arranged the breakfast and financed it and David Barr, operator of the airport, was the chef. Les Mastolier was in charge of the committee of contest judges, and John McLeod judged the spot landings.

A number of Flying Club members were on hand to welcome the out-of-towners visitors. Presidents Clyde Deal of the local Flying Club showed the out-of-towners around the fairgrounds in a chartered school bus.
