A suspected gang member who allegedly tried to scare a young woman out of testifying in a gang assault case now is in custody, reported Santa Rosa police.
Earlier in August the man had gone to the workplace of an 18-year-old woman and told her not to testify and threatened her if she did, reported Sgt. Rainer Navarro.
A description of the man and his car helped gang investigators find suspect Justin Holmes, 21, of Santa Rosa.
Gang officers picked up Holmes Thursday at about 3:30 p.m. after they found him by his car on Creek Park Lane.
He was arrested on suspicion of witness intimidation, being an active gang member, committing a crime to help a gang and violating his probation.
Holmes was booked into the Sonoma County Jail. Bail was set at $1 million.
The woman was a witness to an alleged gang-related assault at Youth Community Park on June 16. Five people were hurt and several were arrested.
They currently are being prosecuted.
