It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of retired Yuba County Sheriff Virginia R. Black.

Sheriff Black, born Nov. 22, 1944, passed away on Sunday, Nov. 1 in Sutter County.

Sheriff Black was first hired at the YCSO in November 1975 as a Sheriff's Clerk. She was promoted to Jailer in December 1976, Deputy Sheriff in November 1978 and Sergeant-Operations in May 1984.

In 1994, Sheriff Black transferred to the Yuba County District Attorney’s Office as an Investigator. Four years later, she was the first woman elected Sheriff in the State of California in June 1998. Sheriff Black took office in January 1999 and served two terms before retiring in 2006.

"There are a handful of us at the Sheriff's Department that had the pleasure of knowing and working under Sheriff Black," stated Tina Beeler, Executive Assistant to YCSO Sheriff Wendell Anderson. "Her commitment to this agency, her employees and her community was an example to many of us, and she will be missed."

Olivehurst Man Sentenced 15 to Life for Murder of Benito Valle
_________________________________________________________
Namee Najarro, 25, of Olivehurst, was sentenced yesterday by Yuba County Judge Debra L. Givens to serve 15 years to life in prison for the murder of Benito Valle.
The murder happened on the evening on March 20, 2026, on Sixth Avenue in Olivehurst. Yuba County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a 911 call and discovered a crowd of people gathered for a celebration of life. Benito Valle was taken by ambulance to Adventist Health Rideout, where he died from multiple gunshot wounds. The investigation, led by a Yuba County Sheriff’s detective, eventually pieced together the events of the evening that led to the shooting.

According to witness accounts, an argument occurred earlier in the evening after Valle confronted Adrian Vega about disrespecting a woman. Adrian left the event but returned a short time later with his brother, Jesus Vega Jr., and Namee Najarro. All three men were armed with fi****ms. A fight started and Adrian Vega and Namee Najarro both shot Valle.

United States Border Patrol Agents arrested Najarro as he tried to flee to Mexico the next day. Najarro pled “no contest” on Sept. 22 to second-degree murder.
Jesus Vega Jr. pled “no contest” to a felony assault with fi***rm for his role in the fight and is pending sentencing. Adrian Vega has pled not guilty and is set to be tried in April 2027. Adrian Vega is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

P.O.P. team & BINTF shut down DMT operation
_________________________________________

On Oct. 13, the YCSO Problem Oriented Policing (POP) team arrested Keith Lowman, 43, of Olivehurst following the ex*****on of a probation search warrant in the 1100 block of Holly Avenue.

During the probation search, YCSO detectives located a Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) operation. DMT is a powerful, naturally occurring psychedelic compound of the tryptamine family. When smoked, vaped or injected intravenously, DMT produces intense visual and auditory hallucinations.

Lowman was booked into the Yuba County Jail for several narcotics related charges. The Butte Interagency Narcotics Task Force (BINTF) responded and assisted with processing the DMT operation.
