It is believed the man, known only as “Pablo,” was the only one in the garden at the time of the raid as no other suspects were located at the time. The man was briefly in cus- tody while 6,992 plants were being eradicated. Sheriff’s Department While deputies were preparing to walk Pablo from the garden he was able to get away and ran into the forest still wearing the handcuffs, which were to his front, the release said. “Basically, they took the leg irons off to let him use the Taking stock restroom and he ran,” Sheriff Clay Parker said. Deputies were able to photo- graph the man before he escaped, however they have not been able to iden- tify him yet, Parker said Mon- day. Evidence was located at the cultivation site that may help in identifying the man and others who may have been connected to the cultivation site, but how many others might be connect- ed was unknown, Parker said. It is believed the man will have to walk from the forest to civilization and should still be wearing handcuffs. Anyone who sees the suspect should call the Sheriff’s Department at 529-7900.

Deputies had been searching the area of Ran- cho Tehama for Alex Max Sanchez, 34, of Rancho Tehama. A resident stopped at the intersection of Pebble Beach Drive and Rancho Tehama Road to meet with a deputy about 12:01 a.m. Saturday when the passenger window of the resident’s vehicle was shattered by someone throwing a rock through it. Other deputies were sent to the scene to set up a perimeter and the CHP helicopter was requested to assist in a search of the wooded ravine area to help locate the suspect who was believed to still be on scene. A short while later, Sanchez was spotted close by hiding in the ravine. He was arrested for being a parolee at large. During an interview, Sanchez admitted break- ing the passenger window with a rock because he knew the person was helping law enforcement try to locate him, a sher- iff’s release said. Sanchez was found in possession of a scanner used to monitor frequen- cies used by the Sheriff’s Department and other agencies. It was deter- mined that he had cut off his parole-issued ankle bracelet to avoid GPS detection. Sanchez, also known as Alejandro Maximino Sanchez and Maximino Sanchez, was booked into Tehama County Jail on the charges of parole vio- lation, stalking, throwing a rock at a vehicle, threat- ening a witness and using a police scanner during a crime.
