If you were traveling on SR-20, west of Williams, on Friday (6/5/26) afternoon your travels may have been hampered by a large law enforcement presence east of Walnut Drive as you begin to enter/leave the Costal Range. Here is some information regarding what occurred:

Williams Area CHP personnel were notified of a wanted vehicle and murder suspect from Southern California traveling eastbound on SR-20. Officers located the suspect vehicle and performed a high-risk traffic stop on the vehicle with the assistance of the Colusa County Sheriff's Department. Both occupants of the vehicle were detained without incident, and the wanted suspect was ultimately booked into the Colusa County Jail.

We would like to thank the Colusa County Sheriff's Department for their assistance in bringing this incident to a safe conclusion.

Today, we honor the courage and sacrifice of the Allied forces who stormed the beaches of Normandy 82 years ago on June 6, 1944.

Their bravery on D-Day turned the tide of World War II and paved the way for the liberation of Europe.

Let us never forget the heroes of the Greatest Generation and the ultimate price paid for the freedoms we enjoy today.

🚔 Career Day at Williams Upper Elementary School was a success!

Last week, Williams Area CHP Officer Figueroa had a great time talking with students about road safety, what we do every day, and how we work to keep the roads in Colusa County and California safe. The highlight? Letting the kids and staff experience our impaired driving goggles - a powerful (and eye-opening) way to show the dangers of driving under the influence.

Thank you to Williams Upper Elementary School for welcoming us for Career Day. 👮
