Sacramento County sheriff's deputies say a 34-year-old man who would not stop showing up where he was legally barred from being is now in custody. According to the department, David Jung was arrested after he allegedly kept appearing at a protected person's home, at their workplace and at their children's school in violation of a domestic violence restraining order. Deputies with the Central Division Problem Oriented Policing (POP) team ultimately tracked Jung down and took him into custody after a series of reported incidents. Officials say he fled before officers arrived in some earlier encounters but was later found and arrested. The sheriff's office announced the arrest in a Facebook post on July 24, 2026.
What the sheriff's post said
According to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office, Central Division POP deputies located and arrested 34-year-old David Jung after the reported repeated appearances at the victim’s home, workplace and the victim’s children's school. The post states that those visits violated a domestic violence restraining order and that Jung left before deputies arrived during some of the reported incidents. The update did not list any specific criminal charges in the public post.
How the law treats restraining-order violations
In California, intentionally and knowingly violating a protective or stay away order is a crime. These cases are typically charged as misdemeanors that can carry up to one year in county jail and fines, with tougher penalties possible when there is injury or repeated violations. California Penal Code section 273.6 sets out the potential penalties and the circumstances that can elevate the offense. For the statutory language, see California Penal Code §273.6.
Where to look for updates
The sheriff's Facebook post is the main public account of the case so far and does not include an arraignment date or a breakdown of charges. If Jung remains in custody, booking information and any listed charges would typically appear in the Sheriff's online inmate information system. Members of the public can search the department’s inmate roster to check custody status and court dates, and the Sheriff provides an online guide that explains how to use that system.
Victim resources and next steps
People who believe a restraining order has been violated are urged to document what happened and contact law enforcement right away. They can also reach out to the District Attorney’s victim witness services for support and information about protective orders. The Sacramento County District Attorney's website lists victim resources and a Victim Witness Unit that helps with notifications and next steps for protected persons. For official case updates, residents can monitor the sheriff’s public information channels or use the county’s online inmate search.
