As part of the efforts to decrease the jail population to mitigate the transmission and spread of COVID in the jail, a 31-year-old Woodland man, Humberto Tejeda, was granted an early release from custody on April 2, 2020, where he was serving a county prison sentence for auto theft.
Following his release, he was arrested on two separate occasions in the City of Woodland. Tejeda was arrested on May 1, 2020, for burglary, but was subsequently released as a result of the “0” Bail Schedule. He was arrested again by Woodland Police on May 18, 2020.
On May 19, 2020, Tejeda, was charged with multiple felonies by the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office. Tejeda was arraigned on May 20, 2020, on two separate Complaints in Department 1 of the Yolo County Superior Court.
