6 Suspects Served Outstanding DUI Warrants by Riverside County Sheriff-Southwest Station
Temecula, Calif. –On February 7, 2024, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office conducted a warrant service operation for probationers convicted of driving under the influence who either failed to appear in court for a DUI case, or for not meeting the terms of their court-ordered probation.
“We don’t want probationers re-offending,” Deputy Frank Opice said. “The goal is to make sure probationers are receiving the help and guidance they need.”
The probation supervision program monitors probationer treatment plans and participation in DUI prevention education through regular office visits and unannounced visits.
During this operation six adults were arrested on outstanding warrants.
- Piyanai Kunna, 50 years old, resident of Temecula
- Alejandro Jaimes, 26 years old, resident of Temecula
- Jerry Acosta, 24 years old, resident of Temecula
- Paul Ednoff, 72 years old, resident of Temecula
- Monica Arreola, 26 years old, resident of Temecula
- Samuel Yazzie, 31 years old, resident of Temecula
