The Ukiah Police Department’s automated license plate reading system helped locate a stolen vehicle being driven around town late last week. 21-year-old Alexander Timothy Barger was taken into custody after officers stopped him in a parking lot on East Perkins Street. Barger was booked into the Mendocino County Jail on suspicion of a stolen vehicle, committing a felony while out on bail, and driving on a suspended license due to a prior DUI conviction.
