EAST COUNTY–The San Diego Sheriff’s Department’s Court Services Bureau-Field Division conducted a warrant sweep in the East County that netted 36 arrests on June 15.
The arrests cleared 44 misdemeanor warrants and two felony warrants.
The areas affected by the sweep included the cities and unincorporated areas of Lemon Grove, Spring Valley, Jamul, El Cajon, La Mesa and Rancho San Diego.
The focus of the operation was the apprehension of subjects with outstanding warrants regardless of the charge or bail amount.
