On Thursday, July 29 at approximately 7 a.m., a woman approached deputies in the Riverbank Police Department parking lot to report a stolen vehicle. After a brief investigation it was determined her vehicle had been parked illegally and towed by a private party. In the process of this investigation, the woman was found to have active outstanding warrants for her arrest.

Deputies immediately apprehended her and she was arrested for fleeing and the active warrants without further incident.

Deputies were dispatched to a report of a disturbance on Wednesday, July 28 at approximately 7 p.m. They spoke to the victim who stated his ex-girlfriend hit him with a stick and hit his car with the same stick causing damage.
