LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lake County Sheriff’s Office has issued an update on plans for a memorial service this weekend for a fallen deputy.
Deputy Rob Rumfelt, 50, died in the line of duty on Aug. 22 in Lakeport following a fight with a domestic violence suspect and a vehicle crash, as Lake County News has reported.
Sgt. Corey Paulich said Rumfelt’s memorial service will be held on Saturday, Sept. 9, at Clear Lake High School’s Don Owens Stadium in Lakeport.
The service is scheduled to begin promptly at 10 a.m., Paulich said.
Paulich said parking for public vehicles will be provided at the Lake County Fairgrounds on Martin Street. The public will be shuttled from the fairgrounds to Clear Lake High School and then back to the fairgrounds after the memorial service.
No privately owned vehicles will be permitted to park on the school grounds due to the lack of available spaces, Paulich said. Personnel will be available at the fairgrounds to assist the public regarding where to park, as well as where to catch the shuttle.
He said shuttle services will begin at 7:30 a.m. to transport the public to the high school. The last shuttle from the fairgrounds to the high school will be at 9 a.m. Shuttles back to the fairgrounds will begin shortly after the services end.
Paulich said it’s anticipated that a large amount of law enforcement and fire personnel will be arriving throughout the morning resulting in heavy traffic flow around the school campuses.
All motorists are being advised to avoid the area and use alternate routes of travel, he said.
