A little over two weeks ago, on the night of Sunday, Feb. 23, local police say they got a report of a Healdsburg mom who “confronted a group of juveniles” at Healdsburg Avenue and Powell Avenue, near the 7-Eleven, “regarding a previous altercation involving the woman’s child and the other juveniles.” She was seen accelerating her car toward the group as they crossed the street, Healdsburg police say, “then got out of her car and confronted them, slashing at one of them with an unknown sharp object before driving away.”
Investigators have since named their main suspect: 41-year-old Olivia Ann Shislerfarias of Healdsburg. And they told the Press Democrat that they believe the sharp object was a razor blade. Here’s the rest of the police announcement, in full:
On Thursday February 27th, Officers attempted to contact Shislerfarias at her residence, but she refused to come to the door and meet with officers. Officers eventually contacted Shislerfarias in a vehicle driving away from the area and took her into custody. During a search of Shislerfarias’ residence pursuant to a search warrant officers located suspected narcotics including methamphetamines, mushrooms, narcotic pills, and drug paraphernalia, as well as an unregistered loaded firearm.
Shislerfarias was booked into the Sonoma County Jail on various charges including possession of a controlled substance with a firearm, possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia, assault with a deadly weapon, and aggravated child abuse.
The PD adds that Olivia Ann Shislerfarias was finally arrested at the Dry Creek Road onramp of the 101 freeway that Thursday, and is now being held in county jail without bail. Among other avenues of investigation, police are reportedly “working to determine what led to the fight between her child and the four 17-year-olds.”
