Joaquin, a 31-year-old Covelo man on CDCR parole with two felony warrants, on suspicion of attempted murder following stabbing incidents in October. The Oct. 10 incident occurred at Pine Grove Cemetery in the 22700 block of Covelo Refuse Road, where a 31-year-old victim sustained multiple stab wounds and was flown to an out-of-county hospital before being discharged. A separate stabbing of another victim occurred nine days earlier. Joaquin was taken into custody on Concow Boulevard after a foot pursuit involving MCSO deputies and Round Valley Tribal Police; he was booked into Mendocino County Jail without bail.
