Two men suspected of beating another man to the point of unconsciousness over the Dandelion Days weekend now face charges by the Amador County District Attorney.  The men were recently apprehended and the case has just been submitted to the Amador County District Attorney’s office. On March 15th, officers responded to an 11:30 pm report of a fight occurring in front of 31 Main Street in downtown Jackson. Arriving officers found a man, Bruce Borba, lying in the street. He was badly beaten and attended to by a female bystander.

Medics who arrived on the scene determined that Borba’s injuries were sufficient enough that he require helicopter transportation to Mercy San Juan hospital in Carmichael. Witnesses  described the two male attackers as a Caucasian and Hispanic man, both with facial hair. The subjects were seen getting into a vehicle. The following day, on an unrelated call, a Jackson Officer received a complaint about loud music and was called to the scene of a house where he observed a vehicle matching the same decryption. James Gileno, who was standing nearby, and Mathew Flores who was the vehicle’s registered owner, both matched the description of the attackers form the night before. The case is expected to be heard by the court shortly.
