Duo Arrested In Forestville Burglary Suspected Of Other Break-Ins
Sheriff's detectives found firearms, tools, jewelry and other items allegedly stolen in a least three Sonoma County residential break-ins.
FORESTVILLE, CA — The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office arrested two Lake County residents Friday on suspicion of burglarizing a Forestville home. Ryan Allen Messing, 33, of Clearlake, and Tabytha Dawn Jarvis, 27, of Lake County, are suspected of burgling the home in the 2900 block of River Road on Friday.
A female resident of the home saw a light-colored small SUV in her driveway when she arrived home. The driver in the driveway asked whether "Gina" lived there before she drove away, the sheriff's office said.
The homeowner saw a broken window on her front door and heard someone rummaging in the garage. The woman called the sheriff's office around 4:15 p.m., and Messing allegedly ran into a nearby vineyard. He was arrested on suspicion of burglary and resisting arrest after a foot pursuit and struggle, the sheriff's office said.
