25 Arrested In Vista Warrant Sweep

A total of 25 people were arrested during the San Diego Sheriffs Department Holiday Watch Operation and taken to the Vista Jail. People contacted during the patrols were arrested for various types of outstanding warrants such as DUI, possession of drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of weapons and domestic violence. Others were arrested for DUI and being drunk in public.

A Sheriff’s command post was also set up outside a local theatre where a Crime Prevention Specialist and Crime Analyst talked to people about crime trends in their neighborhoods and how they can prevent becoming a target or victim of crimes.

Senior Volunteer Patrol (SVP) members also conducted directed patrols and placed notes on the hoods of more than 100 cars of people who left their doors and windows open as well as their wallets, purses, laptops, and checkbooks in plain view.

Persons arrested in Vista are taken to the Vista Detention Facility to be booked and processed.  Vista bail bonds can be posted 24 hours a day.  Once a bond has been posted, defendants are generally released from this jail between two and six hours later.  Law enforcement services for the city of Vista are provided by the San Diego County Sheriffs Department.
