The standout case for June was credited to Officer Herrera, who identified a suspicious vehicle during a graveyard patrol shift. With assistance from Sgt. Hogan, Officer Herrera contacted Austin Mitchell and Erika Antrobus, who were allegedly linked to multiple thefts in Colusa and Williams. Stolen property recovered at the scene connecting them to crimes in Yuba City as well. The investigation led to search warrants and the collection of DNA samples. Both suspects remain in custody at the Colusa County Jail.
Additionally, two police trainees began their full-time training at the Butte College Police Academy on June 30. Graduation is expected on Dec. 5.
The department reminded boaters using the Colusa State Park launch to pay the $13 fee. Approximately 11 vehicles were cited in a single day for failing to comply.
Finally, residents, particularly the elderly, were warned of scams involving fraudulent claims by individuals posing as law enforcement. Police emphasized that legitimate agencies do not collect fines in the form of cash, gold, or bitcoin. Suspicious calls or emails should be reported immediately.
