By JULIE ZEEB DN Staff Writer A 38-year-old Corning man was arrested Saturday evening in the area of East and Blackburn avenues in Corning following a pursuit. Officers initiated a traffic stop in the area of Sixth Avenue and Fig Lane at 7:56 p.m., however, the driver, later identified as Dominic Christopher Oliverez, failed to yield and a pursuit began eastbound on Center Street, according to Corning Police logs. The officer was stopping the Saturn for expired registration, Corning Police Chief Don Atkins said. Oliverez continued south on Fourth Avenue and east on Fig Lane before continuing south on Columbia Avenue. The pursuit continued west on Viola Avenue, going toward Kirkwood Road until about 8 p.m. when California Highway Patrol was advised and requested to take over when they arrived on scene. The CHP helicopter was ordered. The pursuit reached about 100 mph sometime between the point it went north on Kirkwood Avenue, continuing east on South Avenue, according to logs. From South Avenue, the vehicle went north on Hall Road and west on Loleta at speeds of 80 mph before going north on Moon Road about 70 mph and 40 mph while going north on East Avenue. The vehicle stopped at East and Blackburn avenues and Oliverez fled on foot at 8:08 p.m., going east on Blackburn Avenue. At 8:39 p.m., the Tehama County Sheriff's Department received report of a man matching the suspect description going east on McLane Avenue and a K-9 was deployed. Oliverez was taken into custody. Oliverez was arrested and booked into Tehama County Jail on the charges of evading peace officer: disregard safety, false imprisonment and obstruct a public officer. The false imprisonment charge was brought about due to a passenger he had with him who advised the officers Oliverez was holding her in the vehicle against her will, Atkins said. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com.

A Tehama County corrections officer was able to convince a 27-year-old Red Bluff man early Monday morning to lead law enforcement to the location of a stolen safe so the man's father could retrieve his essential medications. The incident started shortly before 7 p.m. Sunday when the father called the Red Bluff Police Department to report his son, Robert Michael Rupe, had just stolen a small safe from a residence on Britt Lane, according to a press release. The safe contained prescription medications and a loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic Glock pistol. The father told officers he believed his son was after the prescription narcotics and had no knowledge of the gun being inside. Officers found Rupe on the corner of Britt Lane and Donita Drive and arrested him for felony second degree burglary and grand theft. Rupe did not have possession of the safe at the time. An extensive search of the area was conducted but officers were not able to locate it. Rupe was booked into Tehama County Jail. Once there he called his parents and threatened them. Additional felony charges were added and an Emergency Protective Order was obtained. Around 1:15 a.m. Monday a corrections officer convinced Rupe to disclose the location of the safe so his father could take his medication. Rupe led Red Bluff police officers to the safe on Britt Lane. The safe and its contents were recovered. Rupe was then returned to jail where he was being held on $215,000 bail. Man caught breaking into motel Patricia Ann Ware September 15, 1951 - February 5, 2013 Patricia "Pat" Ware passed away unexpectedly Feb. 5, 2013 at the age of 61. She was born in Sacramento, CA, and came to live with her wonderful grandparents Evert and Mary Babbitt in Los Molinos at an early age. They loved her dearly and raised her as though she was one of their own children. Everyone who knew and loved Pat (or "Patty" as many liked to call her) will remember her for always being cheerful and having a sense of humor, even when dealing with multiple hardships and very dark times in her life. She was a beacon of light and blanket of comfort for others as well, no matter how bad she was feeling or what she was dealing with at the time. After moving to Los Molinos, her grandparents gave Pat the most normal childhood they could. She listened to Beatles and Monkees records after school with her friends, saw movies at the Los Molinos Drive-In, stayed out late past curfew with her best friend (and was promptly escorted back home in a sheriff's patrol car), went on double-dates—all the typical things you would expect while growing up that she otherwise wouldn't have had without her grandparents. Mutual friends introduced Pat to her future husband, Tom, in 1968. After graduating from Los Molinos High School in 1969, she worked for the U.S. Forest Service before marrying Tom on March 2, 1970. They soon had two children, Robert and Rebecca. After moving around several times, they settled next door to her grandparents in Los Molinos. Pat is survived by her husband, Tom; son, Robert, and daughter-in-law, April; daughter, Rebecca and son-in-law, Michael; grandchildren Ashley, Bobby, Hunter and Madison; great-granddaughter, Zoe; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. A memorial will be held on Sunday, Feb. 17, 2013 at 2 p.m. at Hall Brothers Corning Mortuary, 902 Fifth St., Corning. In lieu of flowers, a fund has been established to help with Pat's final expenses at U.S. Bank (mention account #153499107735).

Red Bluff police officers arrived to the motel to find David Earle Clopp attempting to pry open a room's window, according to a department press release.

Controversial coyote hunt under way in Modoc SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Hunters were tromping through the countryside of a remote Northern California county over the weekend as they competed in a controversial contest to see who could kill the most coyotes. Organizers of the hunt remain secretive of the event, but opponents estimate about 200 hunters were taking part in the seventh annual hunting contest near tiny Adin in Modoc County. Opponents of the hunt — which began Friday evening and was scheduled to run through Sunday afternoon — said the contest is inhumane and that the killing of what's expected to be dozens of coyotes contradicts wildlife management practices. ''We feel the killing of coyotes or any other wild animal as part of a contest is unethical, ethically indefensible and contrary to sound science,'' said Camilla Fox, executive director of Project Coyote, a group that promotes what it terms ''educated coexistence'' between people and coyotes. The organizers of the event, Adin Supply Co., — described as the only store in the tiny town — and the Pit River Rod and Gun Club remained tight-lipped, so it was not clear exactly how many coyotes were expected to be killed. The winner of the con- test would get a silver belt buckle. The owner of Adin Supply, Steve Gagnon, did not return calls from The Associated Press seeking comment about the hunt. Attempts to reach the Pit River Rod and Gun Club were unsuccessful. Backers of the event say it benefits ranchers, because coyotes kill about $4 million worth of livestock every year. The California Cattlemen's Association did not immediately provide comment Sunday, but the group has said in the past that the ability to hunt predators was important to ranchers. One longtime resident of the area, and an opponent of the contest, Roger Hopping, said he had once stumbled onto the carcasses left by a winning team during a previous hunt. ''I'm opposed to a killing contest, I'm not anti-hunt- ing,'' Hopping said. ''I used to hunt ducks in the Bay Area,'' the former Alameda, Calif., resident said. Hopping, 72, said most of the residents of the sparsely populated area were either in favor of the hunt, or accept it.
