CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A man wanted by police for failing to appear for sentencing in a rape and burglary case has turned himself in to authorities.
Douglas Scott Rupert, 40, voluntarily surrendered himself at the Clearlake Police Department just before 3 p.m. on Friday, according to Sgt. Martin Snyder.
Snyder said Rupert was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Lake County Jail.
