CAL FIRE Battalion Chief Accused of Murder Caught

Former Fire Chief Accused Of Murder Was Hiding In Plain Sight, Arrested Without Incident

“He did indicate he’d been basically living under a bush,”

Murder Suspect Orville Fleming Hiding In Bushes For 16 Days Near Where Truck Was Found

- Sac Co Sheriff says a detective spotted suspect getting on a bus. Says he admitted culpability in the stabbing of victim.

Orville “Mo” Fleming has been found alive and is currently in sheriff’s custody. he was found at a bus stop in Elk Grove, not far from where he abandoned his CAL FIRE truck. Sources also say that it looks likely that he had been hiding out in the area since the murder.

Fleming, 55, had been on the run since May 1. Authorities accuse Fleming of brutally murdering his 26-year-old girlfriend Sarah Jane Douglas at a home the two shared in Elk Grove. Douglas was found brutally murdered and left face down on the floor, her family told CBS13.

Shortly after the bloody crime scene was discovered, Fleming’s state issued CAL FIRE truck was found unoccupied at an Elk Grove neighborhood residents said he frequented.
After Fleming disappeared, he was fired from the agency for missing five consecutive days of work.

Fleming was a Madera city firefighter for three years before joining the state as a fire engineer when the city contracted with CAL FIRE  to provide fire protection in 1993. He was promoted to fire captain in 2001 and to battalion chief in 2012, his most recent post being at the Cal Fire training facility outside of Ione.
CAL FIRE  spokesman Daniel Berlant had this to say Friday about Fleming’s arrest: “We are pleased that this search is over and the Sheriff’s Office has apprehended Mr. Fleming. We will continue to support the Sheriff and the District Attorney in any way we can as the judicial process continues.”
CAL FIRE  personnel throughout California were put on alert for Fleming, who was said to have the keys to the agency’s facilities across the state.

Sacramento Metro Fire Department Firefighters Injured In Hit and Run During EMS Call

Media Release: Firefighters Injured

At approximately 12:30AM this morning (May 16, 2014), Sacramento Metro Fire Department responded to a medical aid call in the Watt Avenue / Elverta Road area for a report of a subject passed out inside of a vehicle whose engine was still running. As Fire personnel attempted to assess the drivers medical need, he suddenly positioned the vehicle in reverse and accelerated, taking two firemen with him approximately 200 feet until the vehicle crashed into a tree, freeing the firemen from the vehicle. The driver then sped forward onto the public streets, crashing into a parked vehicle as he fled.

Shortly thereafter, the vehicle was found parked and unoccupied in a residential driveway located in the 7000 block of Ort Way. The suspect was found hiding in a backyard by a Sheriff’s K9.

The two Sacramento Metro Firemen were treated for their injuries; one at the scene and one being transported to a local hospital where he has reportedly sustained non-life threatening injuries. Leontiy Kapakly, 23, has been arrested and charged with three felony crimes related to this incident; including assault with a deadly weapon and driving under the influence causing great bodily injury.
