From Art Campos:
A Roseville man had the distinction of being arrested two times in a 24-hour period.
Police said they took Timothy William Winters, 23, into custody about 12:15 a.m. Thursday for allegedly being in possession of a stolen purse, driving under the influence and possessing drugs and burglary tools. Winters was booked and released after posting $10,000 bail.
However, at 11:30 p.m., officers went back to Winters' home and arrested him again for allegedly having stolen a vehicle Wednesday and later abandoned it, police spokeswoman Dee Dee Gunther said.
This time, Winters was booked into the Roseville city jail on suspicion of vehicle theft, possession of stolen property and committing a felony while out on bail on another felony, Gunther said. His bail is $40,000, she said.
"Technically, because we found stolen property in his garage and he hadn't told us about it in the first arrest, we considered it another crime while he was out on bail," she said.
In Winters' first arrest, police also took a passenger into custody, Gunther said. Guy Mount Creason IV, 27, of West Sacramento, was arrested on suspicion of possessing methamphetamine and violating parole. He is being held without bail, Gunther said.
