Police Arrest Suspect Who Briefly Locked Down Winters Summer Camp

WINTERS (CBS13) – Authorities have arrested a suspect who prompted a summer camp being held at a Winters school to go on lockdown.

Winters police say officers were responding to a traffic hazard incident Friday morning when they ran into a person with a warrant. The man – 39-year-old Carlos Juarez III – then ran off, prompting a search of the area.

Officers say Juarez, at one point, ran through the Winter Elementary School campus. Classes are out for the summer, but the City of Winters After School Program for Munchkin Summer Camp is using the facility – prompting officers to briefly place it on lockdown.

Residents nearly later spotted the suspect running through yards near Grant Avenue and Main Street.

Juarez was arrested Friday afternoon and booked on charges of violation of parole and obstructing and resisting officers. He was taken to Yolo County Jail.
