On March 3, 2016 at approximately 7:12 am, Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a residence located in the 4000 block of E State Hwy 20 in Nice, for a report of a prowler. Central Dispatch advised that the suspect could be seen by the homeowner going back and forth from the backyard to their boat. While the deputies were still responding, the homeowner told Central Dispatch she thought the suspect was now inside the house attacking her husband. She said the suspect had threatened them both with a screwdriver.
Upon arrival, the deputies contacted the homeowners who said they had confronted the suspect, who was later identified as 41 year old Cory Lynn Bush of Upper Lake. The husband said he found and confronted Bush, who was inside his garage. When he yelled at Bush he said Bush turned towards him with his arm raised and appeared to be holding a screwdriver or a knife. The homeowner tried to step away from Bush and fell to the ground. Bush then ran out the side door of the residence toward the pier. The homeowner said he watched as Bush got into their 22ft Crownline boat, started it and took off across the lake towards Lakeport. After Bush stole the boat the homeowner discovered that he was also missing a Kayak, multiple power tools, an outboard motor and additional items from the garage.
At approximately 8:00 am Bush was located with the boat and stolen property in a canal behind Sears, which is located at 2570 S. Main St. in Lakeport. Bush admitted to stealing the boat, Kayak, outboard motor and multiple tools. Central dispatch advised that Bush was currently on probation out of Mendocino County for grand theft.
Cory Lynn Bush was arrested for robbery, burglary, possession of stolen property, grand theft and for violating his probation. He was transported to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility and booked on the aforementioned charges.
