LUCERNE, Calif. – A Vallejo man who managed to evade local law enforcement for most of Monday ended up spending the night in jail.
Johnny Colcleaser, 27, was arrested just after 9 p.m. and booked into the Lake County Jail an hour later, according to jail records.
Colcleaser was arrested at a home on Fourth Avenue in Lucerne on Monday evening, according to a report Lake County News received from an area resident.
His arrest came approximately 12 hours after sheriff's deputies were first dispatched to Lucerne on the report of threats, as Lake County News has reported.
Colcleaser reportedly went to the Ninth Avenue home of his cousin, who he allegedly threatened to kill before walking away. Capt. James Bauman said sheriff's deputies responded and Colcleaser took off in a foot chase that lasted several blocks, with Colcleaser eventually disappearing into the creek bed at Ninth Avenue.
The Lake County Sheriff's SWAT Team, the California Highway Patrol and the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office's helicopter assisted with the search, which lasted several hours Monday, as Lake County News has reported.
Some area businesses were temporarily closed and Lucerne Elementary School was locked down for part of the day.
During the search for Colcleaser deputies located a 2002 Ford pickup stolen from San Pablo that he is alleged to have driven to Lake County, according to Bauman.
Colcleaser was arrested on a felony parole violation and a felony charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm, as well as misdemeanor resisting arrest.
He is being held without bail due to the parole violation.
Jail records indicate that Colcleaser is due to appear in Lake County Superior Court on Wednesday.
