A South Lake Tahoe man was booked into jail on several felonies today and a 12-gauge shotgun, .270-caliber rifle, 9mm handgun with high capacity magazines, and drug paraphernalia are in an evidence locker.

The city’s SWAT team was used to execute the search warrant in the 2400 block of William Avenue on April 23 because of perceived violent threat of the suspect, 46-year-old Anthony Corbin. He is a member of the South Lake Tahoe Brotherhood Motorcycle Club. Corbin is an ex-felon with a violent criminal history, and he unlawfully possessed several firearms and high capacity magazines, officers said.

In mid-March officers identified Corbin as the suspect who severely beat a 34-year-old South Lake Tahoe man. The victim was left with significant injuries, including several broken bones. Officers said Corbin had another altercation with the same victim on Monday.

“During this encounter Corbin’s 49-year-old wife was present. Corbin allegedly drew a knife, threatened to kill the man, and then attempted to attack the male victim,” police Lt. Brian Williams said in a press release. “Corbin’s wife stood between them in an effort to intervene. Corbin battered his wife to get her away from him. The male victim was able to get away to safety.”

The woman called police. She has since been placed in a safe location.

Corbin was arrested on charges of being an ex-felon in possession of firearms and ammunition, assault with a deadly weapon, making criminal terrorist threats, battery with serious bodily injury and domestic violence.

This is the second Brotherhood member to be arrested in a month. Ryan Marino was arrested in March.
