Jan. 8--STOCKTON -- A judge today ordered bailiffs to jail a doctor accused of stealing a dead patient's Rolex.
Traffic tickets and not his alleged watch caper led to Dr. Cleveland Enmon's visit to the San Joaquin County Jail.
"Wait a minute," Enmon said to no avail. "I need to understand what's going on."
Two bailiffs flanked Enmon, put him in handcuffs and escorted him out of the courtroom to a holding cell. Enmon put his hands over his face in apparent disbelief.
San Joaquin County Superior Court Judge William Murray Jr. said he had no choice because of two arrest warrants from El Segundo in Los Angeles County for failing to appear in court on traffic tickets for driving without a license.
The remand came during a brief hearing when the judge set a March 12 trial date for Enmon on the felony theft charge.
Enmon stands accused of stealing the $6,500 gold watch from retired Manteca Police Lt. Jerry Kubena. Enmon treated Kubena June 1 at the St. Joseph's Medical Center emergency room for a fatal heart attack.
