A Modoc County jury has found Ruben Martinez Williams of Fort Bidwell guilty of attacking a deputy and ignoring court orders, the district attorney’s office said.
Jurors last week convicted Williams, 41, of felony battery with injury to a peace officer, misdemeanor resisting and obstructing an officer, and misdemeanor disobeying a court order. The charges stem from an April 4, 2025 incident that led to his arrest.
The trial lasted several days and included testimony from prosecutors, defense lawyers and witnesses. The jury returned guilty verdicts on all counts as well as the related special allegations.
Sentencing is set for July 14 in Modoc County Superior Court. Because of prior convictions and what prosecutors called the seriousness of the case, Williams could face up to four years in state prison.
