NORTH COAST, Calif. – A Sonoma County Sheriff’s Deputy arrested a wanted Clearlake woman on Monday after a foot chase and Taser deployment.
Sgt. Spencer Crum reported that 39-year-old Sadie Bardelmeier was arrested in Santa Rosa.
At about noon on Monday deputies responded to a call of a suspicious man yelling profanities in front of Taylor Mountain Elementary School in the 1200 block of E. Robles Avenue in Santa Rosa, Crum said.
When they arrived the deputies couldn’t find the man but they were aware of a nearby homeless encampment in a field to the rear of the school. Crum said the encampment was supposed to be vacated and had recently been posted with “no trespassing” signs by the property owner.
The deputies walked to the field behind the school and found two people, a man and a woman, in a newly constructed camp, Crum said.
As the deputies tried to identify the two, the woman – later identified as Bardelmeier – gave a false name and was visibly nervous. Crum said the deputy tried to detain her but she began running away.
Crum said the deputy gave chase through a field covered in high grass, ordering Bardelmeier to stop but she kept running.
He warned that he was going to use a Taser but Bardelmeier didn’t stop. Crum said the deputy deployed his Taser and Bardelmeier fell to the ground, at which point she was taken into custody without incident and gave her real name.
Crum said it was determined that Bardelmeier had a $200,000 arrest warrant out of Sonoma County for vehicle theft and possession of stolen property. She also had a $5,000 drug-related arrest warrant out of Lake County. The warrants were why she gave a false name and ran away from the deputies.
Bardelmeier was booked into the Sonoma County Jail for her warrants and was additionally charged with providing false information to a peace officer and resisting arrest, Crum said.
