Marysville man arrested in attempted gas station break-in tied to Yuba City gun assault

A Yuba County man arrested after allegedly attempting to break into a Marysville convenience store early Thursday was also being sought in connection with a Yuba City assault, authorities said.

Police say David Gradilla, 34, of Marysville attempted to break into a Circle K on the 1100 block of B Street about 1 a.m., using a knife to pry open a drive-thru window. Officers found a stolen handgun, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia on Gradilla, Marysville police said in a news release.

Gradilla was in custody when Marysville police received a bulletin from neighboring Yuba City police who said officers there were seeking the Marysville man in connection to a reported assault with a deadly weapon. Yuba City police said Gradilla used a handgun in the alleged assault.

Gradilla, who was booked into Yuba County Jail as David Gradilla Garcia, jail officials said Thursday, remains in custody at the Marysville facility in lieu of $25,000 bail.
