CLEARLAKE – A Ukiah man is in custody after police found him in a stolen car Sunday.
Clearlake Police Lt. Mike Hermann reported Monday that officers arrested 21-year-old Steven Ramier.
Officer Dominic Ramirez contacted Ramier at 8 p.m. Sunday in a stolen Toyota Celica parked near Redbud Park's pump house, according to Hermann's report.
Ramier told police that his girlfriend's uncle had given him the car. However, Hermann reported that officers determined that the car had been reported stolen out of Ukiah and that Ramier and his 17-year-old girlfriend were trying to sell the car with a falsified bill of sale.
Hermann reported that Ramier was arrested and booked into the Lake County Jail for felony possession of a stolen vehicle. Ramier also is charged with a misdemeanor warrant, according to jail booking records.
Charges against his juvenile girlfriend are pending review by the District Attorney's Office and Lake County Probation, Hermann reported.
The department had had no previous contact with Ramier or his girlfriend, said Hermann.
Ramier remained in custody late Monday on $15,000 bail, with a court appearance scheduled for Tuesday.
