Three Sonoma County men arrested in stabbing near Forestville

Three men were arrested over the weekend after an apparent stabbing near Forestville left one person injured, authorities said.

Cesar Cortez, 22, of Santa Rosa; Julio Jimenez, 22, of Sebastopol; and Eric Suazo-Cortez, 21, of Graton were arrested Saturday on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, participating in a criminal street gang and conspiracy to commit a crime, Sonoma County Sheriff's Lt. Glenn Lawrence said.

Few details were available about the confrontation reported at 5:41 p.m. Saturday at Martinelli and River roads. Initial reports indicated the incident may have taken place near Steelhead Beach.

One person was apparently stabbed and taken by Russian River Fire ambulance to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, dispatchers said. That person's condition was unavailable Sunday.

Jimenez remained in custody Sunday at the Sonoma County Jail on $100,000 bail. Cortez and Suazo-Cortez were released on bail, jail staff said.
