“On August 17, 2022 at about 7:17 PM, Redding Police responded to a gas station on Eureka Way where they located a 40-year-old male stabbing victim. The suspect was known to the victim and was quickly identified as Phillip Joseph Ault, 26-years-old, of Redding. Ault fled the area on foot. The responding officers were familiar with Ault and saturated the areas he is known to frequent. Several hours later, Ault was located hiding in a greenbelt area near the Union Pacific Railroad tracks and he was apprehended without incident. Ault was booked into the Shasta County Jail for felony Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
Ault was released into Post Release Community Supervision (a transfer of custody from State Prison to County level supervision) on March 16, 2022 for a prior Assault with a Deadly Weapon conviction. This was the thirteenth time Ault has been arrested in Shasta County, since he was released from the California Prison System in March.”
