Fugitive's freedom snipped
By MARSHA DORGAN
Register Staff Writer
Time ran out for Nelson Canonizadi Porlas.
The Washington state prison fugitive had been living a quiet live in American Canyon for about a year and half until his luck ran out.
On Friday afternoon police went to an apartment complex in the 5500 block of Eucalyptus Drive in American Canyon to check out a call of an alarm, Sgt. Joel Wilson said.
While at the complex, officers noticed Porlas who was in the computer lab of the apartment complex.
After talking to him, officers did a warrant check and discovered Porlas was wanted on an outstanding warrant out of the state of Washington that was almost two years old.
Meanwhile, as officers were running Porlas’ information, he split out the back door and sought refuge in his apartment in the complex, police said.
Officers went to Porlas’ apartment and after knocking repeatedly and announcing police were at the door, they had to use forced entry to get inside the apartment.
Once police made it inside, Porlas gave up peacefully.
Porlas, 39, was taken and booked at the Napa County Jail.
