Ceasar A. Gonzalez, 24, has been arrested in Clark County in connection with a stabbing and robbery at a bar in Hazel Dell. The accused appeared in Clark County Superior Court on suspicion of felony first-degree robbery and first-degree assault. He was held on $25,000 bail a Vancouver defense attorney was appointed to represent him. Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call about an altercation in the parking lot of Three Monkey’s Tavern on N.E. Highway 99.
On November 21 around 11:45 p.m. sheriff’s deputies were called to the parking lot of Three Monkeys Tavern, 7917 N.E. Highway 99, at about 11:45 p.m. Nov. 21 after a reported altercation. Upon arriving they discovered a 41-year-old man who had been stabbed multiple times and had wounds on his torso and extremities. Court documents indicate the victim told investigators that he was attacked by two Hispanic men when he confronted them about the apparent theft of his two cellphones, which he had set on the bar. He said that he had attempted to take his phone from Gonzalez’s hand and Gonzalez then repeatedly hit him in the head and knocked him to the ground. Gonzalez said he jumped on the victim and continued hitting him, and Apolonio Luna-Ruelas allegedly stabbed him several times. Both of the accused were gone when the deputies arrived.
The victim was transported to a hospital and had emergency surgery. His condition was not available.
Luna-Ruelas, 22, was also arrested on suspicion of first-degree assault and first-degree robbery. Court documents show that he confessed, saying it was all him and he had cut the victim.
