Lieutenant Steve Brooks, Public Information Officer


A Colorado man was arrested Monday night for having four out of state arrest warrants and being in possession of stolen property.

On June 16, 2014 a patrol deputy received information that 20 year old John David Heston of Longmont Colorado was living in Kelseyville and had four out of state arrest warrants. The deputy contacted the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office in Colorado and confirmed they had four arrest warrants for Heston. They also confirmed that they would extradite Heston if he was located. The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office provided the deputy with their most recent booking photograph of Heston, to assist with identifying him.

On June 16th, at approximately 2018 hours, deputies located Heston in Kelseyville, who was as a passenger inside a vehicle. The vehicle pulled up to the fuel pumps at Mount Konocti Gas and as Heston was exiting the vehicle, he was detained by the deputies. Heston attempted to identify himself multiple times as John Mcninch. The deputies showed him the booking photograph provided by the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office and he continued to identify himself as Mcninch.

The deputies noticed that Heston had a California License plate in his possession. Central Dispatch conducted a records check of the license plate and advised it was from a Coleman RV trailer which was reported stolen. A witness told the deputies that Heston was currently living in a new trailer which was parked at an address on Clark Drive in Kelseyville. The witness also said that Heston was looking for someone to help him tow his trailer to another location. Deputies responded to an address located in the 4000 block of Clark Drive in Kelseyville and located the stolen trailer Heston was living in.

Heston was arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle, providing false identification to a peace officer and the four out of state arrest warrants. During the booking process Heston continued to identify himself as Mcninch. Correctional officers obtained Heston’s fingerprints and sent them electronically to a law enforcement data base. A short time later the results came back, confirming Heston’s identity. Heston admitted he lied about his identity because he is facing 15 to 25 years in prison, when he is transported back to Colorado.
