Wanted fugitive found hiding in Chowchilla attic, deputies say

MADERA COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- Madera County Sheriff's deputies tracked down and arrested a wanted fugitive using a somewhat unique method.

The search for 42-year-old Gary White began earlier this month.

He was wanted on two felony warrants related to domestic violence, vandalism and narcotics charges.

During a previous attempt to arrest White, investigators say he crashed his car and ran away.

On July 3, they learned he was at a home in Chowchilla.

They served a search warrant and deployed a drone inside the attic, where White was hiding.

He eventually surrendered and was booked into the Madera County jail.
