Domestic Violence Offender Turns Himself In to Police

Police didn't have to chase down one criminal after he turned himself in on domestic violence charges this Saturday in Salinas. Noah Encallado, 34, turned himself in on a new battery charge. He is now housed at the Monterey County Jail.

The charges arose after his girlfriend told police that he had hit her. She waited four days, however, to report him because he was reportedly watching her every move and threatening to kill her if she spoke out. The couple had been together for two months before he struck her in the mouth and began to threaten her.

Police went to Encallado's home but he wasn't there. He did turn himself in a few days later when he was booked for making terrorist threats and on suspicion of domestic violence. Encallado has already been in jail and was released on a $1 million bond for charges of domestic violence with a different woman.
