CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Clearlake Police officers made several arrests on Sunday during a warrant search for an individual at a city residence.
On Sunday at approximately 1:38 p.m., Officer Chris Kelleher and Officer Calli Batz responded to a residence located at 4355 Hill Ave. for a warrant service on Johnny Ray Hubbard, 31, police said.
Upon arriving, several subjects including Hubbard fled from view into the residence and then around the side of the residence. Police said several other subjects remained outside.
Police said Robert Scott Yingling, 39, who had a separate outstanding arrest warrant, came out of the residence when asked and surrendered.
Officers were advised by a witness that Hubbard and another male on scene, Kim Eugene Anderson, 39, hid a bag in the yard when officers arrived. The bag contained a loaded short-barreled 12 gauge shotgun and a significant amount of spare ammunition for it, according to the police report.
Officer Batz and Officer Brittany Shores were given consent to search the house for Hubbard, at which time they located hiding in closets and under clothes James Michael Hill, 24, who had an outstanding no bail arrest warrant; April Way, who had four outstanding arrest warrants; and Hubbard, police said.
All subjects with outstanding arrest warrants were taken into custody. Anderson and Hubbard were both charged with felony and misdemeanor charges related to the firearm, ammunition, drug use, resisting arrest and conspiracy.
On Thursday, Anderson remained in custody with bail set at $170,000; as did Hubbard, with bail at $15,000; Hill, bail at $2,500; and Yingling, $5,000 bail. Way was not longer in custody.
The Clearlake Police Department thanked citizens in the community, like the witness in this case, who provide vital information to officers on scene that could have potentially saved their lives and the lives of innocents.
