Marysville

Alleged burglar caught in garage

A 19-year-old man who stole jewelry from a home in the 1100 block of I Street in Marysville was found hiding in a garage and much of the loot was found in a trash can, police said Thursday.

Officers were called to the home at 1:08 p.m. Wednesday and told by the owner that jewelry and a jar of coins had been taken. He said he had seen the suspected burglar, Ryan Patrick Lynn, standing in front of the house next door, said police Sgt. John Osbourn.

Officers saw Lynn in a nearby wooded area. When he fled, a K-9 team was called in and found him hiding in a garage. He was arrested without incident, Osbourn said.

Lynn was being held Thursday in Yuba County Jail on $50,000 bail.

Lynn also was arrested last June after a former Sutter County sheriff's detective reportedly spotted him crawling through a broken garage window of a Yuba City home on Cherry Street.

Lynn fled but a K-9 unit located him hiding in the bushes on Jacob Street.

Yuba County

Tetanus, Tdap shot costs changed

By unanimous vote Tuesday, Yuba County supervisors approved slight changes to county ordinances on tetanus and Tdap immunizations.

Under the new ordinance, the county Health and Human Services Department will continue to charge $25 for a tetanus booster shot for adults, but will now charge $40 for a Tdap immunization shot to guard against both tetanus and pertussis, better known as whooping cough, in teens and adults.

State health officials have documented an outbreak of whooping cough in recent months, though the surge in cases has not been strongly seen in Yuba or Sutter counties.

Sutter County

Flood control district to expand

A flood control district's territory will grow westward in Sutter County.

Board members of the Sutter Butte Flood Control Agency on Wednesday approved an extension of the agency's boundaries. The vote adds to the agency's territory a triangular area mostly southwest of Sutter, bordered by the Sutter Bypass, South Butte Road and a diagonal line west of Humphrey Road.

Redrawing the agency's zone ensures it includes all land parcels whose owners will pay assessments toward a 44-mile upgrade of Feather River levees, which landowners in Sutter and Butte counties approved in June.

Executive Director Bill Edgar said the addition would ease attempts to raise local matching funds for a future levee overhaul along the bypass, which is not included in the Feather River plan.
