Tailgating leads to ICE capture

Glenn County Observer

This sheriff’s log entry caught the eye of The Observer:

At about 6:18 a.m. on Wednesday, April 9, a deputy was driving west on Highway 32 when he saw a red Toyota Carolla (California license plate number 4WRW792) tailgating another vehicle.

The deputy conducted a traffic enforcement stop on Highway 32 at County Road 202, and contacted the driver, Corning resident Israel Flores Valencia, who was identified by his California Driver’s License.

The deputy conducted a record’s check with the Glenn County Sheriff’s dispatcher, who reported Valencia had a federal felony warrant through the Department of Homeland Security’s Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the warrant and ultimately picked Valencia up from the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office in Willows.

Valencia’s vehicle was towed by Zips Towing.
