On 03-31-2021 at around 8:30 AM, Deputies from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a reported burglary at the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office Substation in Point Arena, California.
Upon their arrival, Deputies observed the front door appeared to have been pried open. Deputies additionally found multiple filing cabinet and desk drawers open.
Deputies reviewed security camera footage and were able to obtain a description of the suspect.
Deputies checked the Point Arena area and contacted a male in the 200 block of Main Street.
The male was identified as Micah Ray Pilgram and he matched the description obtained from the security camera footage.
At the conclusion of their investigation, Deputies placed Pilgram under arrest for having committed the crime of 459 PC (Burglary).
A Mendocino County Superior Court Judge was contacted and a bail enhancement was requested, due to the COVID-19 pandemic emergency “ZERO BAIL” for non-violent offenses.
The Judge ordered that Pilgram be held in lieu of $15,000.00 bail and he was subsequently booked into the Mendocino County Jail.
