Colorado man arrested for out-of-state arrest warrants, possession of stolen trailer
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A Colorado man was arrested Monday night for having four out of state arrest warrants and being in possession of a stolen travel trailer.
John David Heston, 20, of Longmont, Colo., was taken into custody in the case, according to Lt. Steve Brooks of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
On Monday a patrol deputy received information that Heston was living in Kelseyville and had four out of state arrest warrants, Brooks reported.
Brooks said the deputy contacted the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office in Colorado and confirmed they had four arrest warrants for Heston. They also confirmed that they would extradite Heston if he was located.
The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office provided the deputy with their most recent booking photograph of Heston to assist with identifying him, Brooks said.
Shortly before 8:30 p.m. Monday, deputies located Heston in Kelseyville, riding as a passenger inside a vehicle. Brooks said the vehicle pulled up to the fuel pumps at Mount Konocti Gas and as Heston was exiting the vehicle, he was detained by the deputies.
Heston attempted to identify himself multiple times as John Mcninch, Brooks said. The deputies showed Heston the booking photograph provided by the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office and he continued to identify himself as Mcninch.
The deputies noticed that Heston had a California license plate in his possession. Central Dispatch conducted a records check of the license plate and advised it was from a Coleman RV trailer which was reported stolen, Brooks reported.
A witness told the deputies that Heston was currently living in a new trailer which was parked at an address on Clark Drive in Kelseyville. Brooks said the witness also reported that Heston was looking for someone to help him tow his trailer to another location.
Deputies responded to an address located in the 4000 block of Clark Drive in Kelseyville and located the stolen trailer Heston was living in, Brooks said.
Brooks said Heston was arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle, providing false identification to a peace officer and the four out-of-state arrest warrants.
During the booking process Heston continued to identify himself as Mcninch, Brooks said.
Correctional officers obtained Heston’s fingerprints and sent them electronically to a law enforcement data base. A short time later the results came back, confirming Heston’s identity. Brooks said Heston admitted he lied about his identity because he is facing 15 to 25 years in prison when he is transported back to Colorado.
