Peninsula Resident Stabbed After Finding Man In Bed: Cops

SAN MATEO COUNTY, CA — A Pescadero resident was stabbed on Friday after finding a man sleeping in their bed who'd been barred from entering the home, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office. The man, identified as 23-year-old Christian Uries Arellano-Nevarez, was subsequently arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, vandalism and disobeying a court order.

Deputies responded Friday at 10:10 a.m. to the residence in the 200 block of Butano Cutoff on a report of a stabbing, according to officials. Deputies said the victim found Arellano-Nevarez asleep inside the victim's residence.

"Christian is not allowed to be at the residence due to a current and valid restraining order," the sheriff's office said in a news release. "The victim confronted Christian about his presence and other family issues, and Christian grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed the victim."

Following the stabbing, the suspect walked outside and vandalized the victim's car, according to the sheriff's office.

"Christian left the property, but deputies located him a short distance away and he was placed under arrest," according to the news release. "The knife was recovered in nearby bushes."

The victim received medical attention at the scene and was ultimately transported to hospital.
