Mammoth Lakes, CA – Javier Apodaca Sanchez, 23, of Mammoth Lakes was arrested Saturday, February 18, 2017, in connection with multiple stolen vehicles and serial burglaries.
A recent series of vehicle thefts and burglaries with similarities over a one-week period triggered an investigation by the Mammoth Lakes Police Department.

A vehicle pursuit followed with Sanchez attempting to evade officers, which led to a foot pursuit and his subsequent arrest.

If your first thought is to check to see if we can deport him because of his skin color, you are a racist. Simple as that. If he was white, would you be asking the same question? Maybe you should go back to Europe.
His bail has now been set at $170,000. That makes more sense.
Maybe the judge reads these comments.
Since the immigration issue is front and center national news I believe knowing if this person is a United States citizen is fair question. The public has the right to know.
Actually, no, it’s not a fair question. It is a racist question, though.
Maybe he should be deported, Was he born in the United States? These kind of questions are very relevant these days.
Charges and bail amount are on the Mono County Sheriff CrimeGraphics.com site.
Sorry, but I missed the part where any bail amount was mentioned. And BTW…wasn’t today supposed to be sentencing day for the million dollar embezzler ?
