California inmate arrested on new warrant hours before parole

A California inmate described in the dispatch as a child molester—David Allen Funston, 64—was arrested on new charges after a surprise warrant was issued and executed only hours before his planned parole release. What looked like a cleared path out of custody snapped shut at the last possible moment.

This is the kind of “administrative whiplash” story that triggers public rage and institutional defensiveness at the same time: a last-minute enforcement action that raises immediate questions about who knew what, when it was known, and why it landed right before the door opened.
