On 1/31/23 at approximately 5:30 pm, Ukiah PD received an alert from the FLOCK license plate reading camera system. The alert was for a stolen vehicle in the area of E. Gobbi St. at Hwy. 101. The vehicle was a dark-colored Subaru Outback which was reported stolen from Reno, NV. on Jan. 14th.
UPD officers driving marked patrol vehicles located the stolen vehicle parked in the parking lot of the Metro PCS/T-Mobile store located at 710 S.

Approximately 10 minutes later, the person who was inside the store exited and got into the driver’s seat of the stolen vehicle. The person then got out of the vehicle and re-entered the store. UPD Officers drove into the parking lot blocking the stolen vehicle. The person inside the store walked out and engaged with officers. This person complied with officer’s commands and was detained without incident.
The suspect was identified as 46-year-old Brandy Mong from Pennsylvania. She was arrested for violation of 496d(a) PC, possession of a stolen vehicle. She also had non-extraditable warrants out of Pennsylvania. Mong was transported and booked into Mendocino County Jail.

How is it that these people come to Ukiah, a small city almost no one has heard of? Our police logs list many out-of-town petty and not-so-petty criminals. Here?
They come for the drugs. And our lack of punishment. Our coos are crooked and our judges are worse
She was probably impressed with the jails revolving door and no bail release. Will fit right in the Ukiah area.
