LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — An Upper Lake man who authorities said assaulted a woman earlier this month is in custody.
Arturo Pedro Gutierrez, 62, turned himself in to authorities in Mendocino County, Lauren Berlinn, spokesperson for the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, told Lake County News on Friday afternoon.
The sheriff’s office had been seeking to take Gutierrez, a registered sex offender, into custody for the Aug. 18 assault.

Berlinn said Gutierrez will be transported to the Hill Road Correctional Facility in Lakeport.
