While on a routine patrol, Sebastopol's Chief McDonagh managed to apprehend a wanted individual just going about his daily rounds. According to the Sebastopol Police Department's Facebook page, at approximately 3:50 PM yesterday, McDonagh, who was conducting a security check, noticed something amiss: a blue Dodge that seemed to dodge the law, lacking a rear license plate on the 6000 block of Sebastopol Avenue.

Upon halting the vehicle, the driver, 62-year-old David George, was requested to furnish his driving credentials, including his driver’s license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. But all were absent, just as the plate on the car he drove. Diving deeper into George's history revealed two active warrants out for him. The following sequence of events led to George's arrest.

Officer Levesque was reported to join the scene promptly as an assistant, ensuring the transportation of the newly detained individual to the Sonoma County Jail.
