Yreka. On April 4, 2023, William Isaac Miller, 32, a transient in the Yreka area, was sentenced for assaulting several people with a knife in April of 2021. The case was prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Theo Balboni.

On April 23, 2021, the defendant harassed and threatened individuals behind the old J.C. Penny building in Yreka. The parties did not know one another. Some of the victims were living in the area in their vehicles. When the defendant pulled out a knife and began to chase them they called the Yreka Police Department. Officers fortunately responded quickly, as Miller was then threatening another person in another vehicle. Miller had approached that vehicle, produced his knife, threatened the victim’s life, and pounded hard on the window. Officers arrived at that time and took Miller into custody.
