Wible told investigating deputies that he received a threatening phone call from an acquaintance, Thor Turnbaugh, 20, of Redding. During that phone call, Thor threatened to go to Forbes’ Shasta Way residence and kick in the door of the home, where Forbes and his family reside.
“Wible responded to the Shasta Way residence and was met by Thor Turnbaugh and his brother, Zeth Turnbaugh in the driveway in front of the residence,” Baldwin explained; saying, “Thor and Zeth immediately began assaulting Wible for an unknown reason.”
