North Coast fugitive sighted stealing vegetables from yard

A gentleman who has eluded capture for months on the North Coast is believed to have been noticed Monday evening in the vegetable back garden of a Mendocino County residence.

William Allan Evers, 40 — aka “the Redbearded Burglar” — is a suspect in multiple residential burglaries considering the fact that February. The research turned additional urgent just after he allegedly shot at a Mendocino County sheriff’s deputy who confronted him on Might 12 at the scene of a house theft in Elk. The deputy was not injured.

In this week’s sighting, a resident documented confronting a person at 7:30 p.m. Monday in the garden of a house on rural Middle Ridge Street, 3 miles east of Albion. His description matched that of Evers.

Three hrs afterwards, as deputies have been checking a neighboring home, they read what sounded like anyone leaving from the front door. When they checked video clip from their patrol car’s dashboard digicam, they found an picture of a gentleman who looked like Evers.

More officers have been termed in to lookup the region, but Evers was not located.
