Big Oak will take you all on
A groin kick is always a serious injury.
A Big Oak Valley woman is in jail after allegedly threatening her husband with a sword and a loaded shotgun, then kicking a sheriff’s deputy in the groin and shattering a window of a sheriff’s cruiser with her feet.
Cheryl Elizabeth Tohkubbi, 43, was arrested shortly after 2 a.m. Tuesday at the home she shared with her 65-year-old husband on the 23000 block of St. Helena Drive.
Tohkubbi called 911 at 2:05 a.m. to report she needed a bandage and said her husband was “hurting her mentally.”
“When (deputies) got there, she was standing on the front porch, saying ‘Don’t come any closer,’” Nevada County Sheriff Keith Royal said. “She said if they came any closer, she’d get a gun and shoot.”
Deputies circled around the back of the house, then surprised Tohkubbi from behind, he said.
“She kicked one officer in the groin, then kicked the side window of the cruiser out,” Royal said.
Tohkubbi’s husband told officers his wife was acting strangely when he returned home from work several hours prior to the incident, Royal said.
Tohkubbi allegedly told her husband she had cut her leg while chasing a deer.
“He got dressed and was going to take her to the emergency room, but she said no,” Royal said.
