Sheriff Danny Martin releases statement

LANEBURG – Nevada County Sheriff Danny Martin released a statement Sunday regarding a fire and vehicle break-ins:

“The man wearing black clothing and a hoodie was transported to Prescott after being searched and identified. So far there is no proof that he has done anything wrong. Yes, he was escorted off of a man’s property earlier this morning. It has been reported that he has knocked on several doors asking for water and a light for a cigarette.

From the information I have gathered there was a structure that burnt on Highway 371 South and a couple of vehicles broken into. But the items that were reported missing from the vehicles were not in his possession at the time he was searched.

If you have any further information or proof contact the Nevada County Sheriff’s Department.”
