The week’s bookings at the Siskiyou County Jail ran the county’s familiar circuit of impaired drivers, warrant round-ups, and courthouse avoiders — with one Yreka man apparently having made a career of the latter. Charles D. Williams, 36, arrived at the jail carrying more failure-to-appear warrants than most people carry loyalty cards, racking up charges across at least seven different agencies spanning half a decade of court dates not kept. The county’s roads also saw brisk DUI enforcement, with five separate impaired-driving arrests logged across the week by CHP and Weed PD. And a pre-dawn stop at the Pilot truck stop in Weed produced what may be the week’s most consequential booking, with a South Carolina man facing felony battery and sexual battery charges.
