CLEARLAKE – A local man the Clearlake Police Department was seeking has been arrested.


Lt. Mike Hermann reported Monday that Clearlake Police had spent two weeks looking for 35-year-old Daniel Andrew Cox, who turned himself in last Friday.


Hermann said Cox was wanted for several outstanding warrants including a local traffic warrant and a no-bail, out-of-county probation violation warrant.


Cox's legal problems also allegedly included a confrontation with an off-duty Clearlake Police officer. Hermann said Cox approached the officer, who was with his young child, and started challenging him.


Hermann said officers visited Cox's known associates in an attempt to locate him. On May 29, Cox called and turned himself in.


After his arrest, Cox was transported to the Lake County Jail and housed.


In addition to the work of the officers who were actively searching for Cox, several community members also played a vital role in the arrest.


Hermann said Cox had taken care of his no-bail warrant before his arrest. He has since been released from the Lake County Jail on the other charge.
