LAKEPORT, Calif. — City of Lakeport employees apprehended a Northshore man on Monday morning after he took a city-owned vehicle.

Daniel Louis Miller, 33, a transient from Nice was arrested in the case, the Lakeport Police Department reported.

Lakeport Police’s report said its officers responded to multiple 911 calls reporting a physical altercation involving a city employee and Miller.

Miller was taken into custody for vehicle theft and violation of parole after the city employee told officers that he had witnessed Miller steal a 2018 Kubota UTV and attached hydraulic dump trailer belonging to the city of Lakeport Parks Department.

The equipment was being used for trash removal at Xabatin Community Park when it was taken, authorities said.

The city employee pursued Miller and was able to physically detain the uncooperative Miller near the intersection of 9th and North Forbes streets after the attached trailer tipped onto its side.

Officers arrived shortly thereafter and took Miller into custody without incident.

Miller was booked and is being held without bail for the parole violation.
