Amador County – A Sutter Creek man was arrested in Nevada for a March home invasion robbery and assault in Amador County in which a man was severely beaten in his residence on Shake Ridge Road.

Amador County Undersheriff Jim Wegner released details of the arrest after the extradition of Bevan Andrew Price, 23, of Sutter Creek. Price was transported and booked into the Amador County Jail on Wednesday, May 23, to face the allegations of robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary, mayhem, battery causing great bodily injury and numerous special allegations. Bail was set at $290,000.

Price had been in custody at the Pershing County Jail in Nevada during the extradition process. On April 24, 2012 an Amador Superior Court Arrest Warrant was issued for Bevan Andrew Price alleging the charges.

Wegner said the allegations stem from a March 25 incident, when Amador County Sheriff’s Department deputies responded to the report of a 60-year-old male victim that had been attacked and beaten at his residence on Shake Ridge Road by suspects seeking to steal his prescription narcotics.

The victim was subsequently transported by helicopter to Sutter Roseville Hospital for treatment. No suspects were located at the scene.

Amador County Sheriff’s Detectives conducted an investigation into the crimes perpetrated against the victim. The investigation determined that Bevan Andrew Price, 29, of Sutter Creek was responsible for the attack on the victim.

The Amador County Sheriff’s Office investigative report was submitted to the Amador County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution on April 2. Based upon that report, the District Attorney’s Office filed a complaint with the Amador County Superior Court.

At bout 10 p.m. on May 14, Price was contacted by a Lovelock, Nevada Police Officer in relation to a reckless driving incident. Upon conducting a warrant check, the officer learned Price was wanted in Amador County. Price was arrested and booked into the Pershing County Jail.
