New sergeants installed as one leaves Sgt. Greg Yotsuya retires after 30 years Dirk Nieuwenhuis and Mike Vierra were sworn in as sergeants last week with Chief of Police Rick Collins administering the oath.
After spending 30 years with the Ceres Police Department, Greg Yotsuya has had enough of police work.
His retirement as sergeant came Friday, the day after Chief Rick Collins promoted Dirk Nieuwenhuis and Mike Vierra to rank of sergeant. Yotsuya himself is being replaced by Sgt. Keith Griebel.
Yotsuya was hired at a time when the retirement age could occur as soon as he hit 50. But he desired retirement even more seeing a new slate of state laws being passed which he feels ties the hands of police, is unfair to require of officers and a waste of time.
Two arrested after Hughson home invasion, pursuit with deputies Watsonville residents Luis Garcia-Gomez, 26, and Jonathan Arias, 24, are believed to be the same men who broke into a home in the 6000 block of Fox Road in Hughson and were later captured near Ceres.
Two Watsonville men were taken into custody Wednesday afternoon after they allegedly broke into a Hughson house that morning and led Stanislaus County Sheriff’s deputies on a wild high-speed chase.
Driver Luis Garcia-Gomez, 26, and passenger Jonathan Arias, 24, are believed to be the same men who at 3 a.m. drove up to a home in the 6000 block of Fox Road in Hughson and broke into a sliding glass door in the back of the house. The dark of dogs inside the house scared off the men who ran to a stolen white Audi. The homeowner provided video surveillance to Hughson deputies showing the car and the suspects.
