19-Time DUI Offender Arrested For Probation Violation

PETALUMA (BCN) - The Sonoma County DUI Task Force made 23 DUI-related arrests since Friday, including the arrest of a 19-time DUI suspect, according to the Petaluma Police Department.

About 25 police officers served warrants on DUI suspects and arrested 19-time DUI offender William Beall for a probation violation, police said.

Officers went to the 65-year-old's Santa Rosa home to see if Beall was complying with the terms of his probation, which says that he can't drink or possess alcohol, and that he is subject to search and seizure by law enforcement, police said.

Officers discovered Beall violated his probation by having alcohol at home. He was arrested and booked into Sonoma County Jail without bail, police said.

Beall was the only one in violation of his probation out of 12 DUI offenders, police said.

During the operation, Task Force members made 76 traffic stops Saturday night, police said.

DUI crashes through Saturday night remain at only two involving injuries, police said.
