Groveland, CA…After we posted that Joshua Power was WANTED in our community, the tips came pouring in. A surveillance team was put together and we arrested him today at about 12:45 P.M., in the Groveland/ Greeley Hill area. It was a partnership between the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office, US Marshals Service and the Pacific Southwest Apprehension Team. Joshua Powers was a passenger in a vehicle seen driving in the area and the Tuolumne County Sheriff‘s Deputies initiated a traffic stop. Power exited the vehicle and attempted to flee. Power pulled out a utility knife and K9 Cain from the Stockton Police Department, who was part of the Pacific Southwest Team, apprehended Power. Power was taken to the Sonora Regional Medical Center for custody clearance and booked at the Tuolumne County Jail with a no bail.
Joshua Power faces several charges including, burglary, robbery, domestic violence, corporal injury to a child, criminal threats, and a parole violation. Kevin Roberts the other passenger in the vehicle, was also taken into custody for a felony weapons charge warrant out of Stanislaus County with a bail of $50,500. We want to thank our community. We could not have done it without all of you and we enjoy this partnership with our citizens.
