K9 Helps Deputies Arrest Parolee In Los Molinos

A Tehama County man was taken into custody inside his home by a K9 Tuesday afternoon. 27-year-old Keith Melton’s parents called 9-1-1 to say they had locked themselves in a bedroom at their Los Molinos home because Keith was acting violently and breaking things. He’s on parole and had a felony arrest warrant. Deputies delivered the parents safely outside and confronted Keith, who was screaming threats and barricaded himself in a room. After repeated warnings, Blaze the K9 was used. After a hospital visit, Melton was booked into jail.
