A suspected drunk driver accused of fatally shoot
Post# of 65629
He was arrested in Bakersfield about 280 miles SE of Newman.
He had TWO PREVIOUS DUI ARRESTS!
The sheriff whose agency was leading the investigation blamed California's sanctuary law for preventing local authorities from reporting Gustavo Perez Arriaga's previous arrests to federal immigration officials.
If the suspect had been deported, he said, Cpl. Ronil Singh of the tiny Newman Police Department would still be alive.
"We can't ignore the fact that this could have been preventable," Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson said, asking why the state was "providing sanctuary for criminals (and) gang members. It's a conversation we need to have."
