MAGALIA — Two suspected looters were caught Saturday evening allegedly removing property from a location that was destroyed in the Camp Fire.

Butte County Sheriff’s Office deputies saw two men in the parking lot of the Discount Liquor Store in Magalia on Saturday evening; the business sustained serious damage and losses in the Camp Fire, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Office. The men were recognized by the deputies from numerous prior incidents as Kenneth Zimmerman, 51; and David Eugene Blood, 52, both of Magalia.

Blood was seen walking out of the burnt rubble of the store and in possession of “obviously stolen” property from the business, according to a release from the Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies searched Blood’s vehicle, and found a loaded .45-caliber handgun in his backpack, according to the release. When they attempted to arrest Blood, he allegedly punched one of the deputies in the face and made threats to kill them. A brief fight between deputies and Blood then occurred.

Blood was transported to the hospital for medical treatment caused by the fight with deputies before being booked at the Butte County Jail. The deputy who was assaulted suffered an injury to his hand, which also required treatment at the hospital.

Both Blood and Zimmerman were detained and arrested. Further investigation revealed that Blood has a restraining order against him, and is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition.

Blood was booked for charges that include felony resisting arrest, felony possession of a loaded firearm and an open container infraction. His bail was set at $68,000.

Zimmerman was booked at the Butte County Jail under charges of intoxication.
