CLOVIS - About 9 o’clock Tuesday morning, Clovis Police arrested Jack Alford (48) during a traffic stop at Shaw and McKelvy (west of Temperance) in Clovis.

Officers had been looking for Alford since he was identified as the man yanking copper wire out of a pole in the area of Sunnyside and Tollhouse yesterday. The suspect fled the area and left the wire behind, but not before causing thousands of dollars in damage.

 

A probation check of his residence revealed a flashlight, pair of wire strippers and a pair of gloves stored in a backpack. Witness photos reveal he had the backpack with him at the time of the attempted theft.

Officers booked Alford for felony vandalism, and transported him to the Fresno County Jail.

thevalleyguy: They killed Pike! BS. He is supposed to be Stephen Hawkins. Paramount can't mess with the history of the story. I am not happy.
thevalleyguy: I am very disappointed in what the #ChowchillaFair has allowed the #LittleMissMadera pageant has become. It used to be about innocence.
