A convicted California child molester who was set to walk free this week was instead turned over to law enforcement after a new arrest warrant was issued in Placer County, state officials confirmed.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said that at approximately 7:30 a.m., David Allen Funston, 64, was transferred to law enforcement authorities after Placer County filed new criminal charges and issued a warrant for his arrest.
Funston had been granted parole Tuesday and was scheduled for release later this week.
CDCR said Funston was sentenced in 1999 to life with the possibility of parole in connection with sexual abuse of children, including kidnapping and lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age.
Funston is accused of kidnapping and molesting a child in Roseville in 1996, according to Placer County prosecutors.
Funston was convicted in 1999 of kidnapping and child molestation involving multiple victims. He was originally sentenced to three life terms in prison. However, under California’s Elderly Parole Program, he was granted parole suitability and scheduled for release from CDCR custody.
The Placer County District Attorney’s Office said it refiled charges against Funston stemming from the 1996 case within the state’s statute of limitations.
He was found suitable for parole at a hearing before the Board of Parole Hearings on Sept. 24, 2025.
On Jan. 9, 2026, Gov. Gavin Newsom referred the case back to the Board of Parole Hearings for an en banc review, in which a majority of appointed commissioners reconsider the prior parole decision. On Feb. 18, 2026, the board reaffirmed its recommendation that Funston receive parole.

Need some Gruesome 'I did that' stickers.
The parole board and Newsome again show their utter disdain and incompetence for law abiding Citizens. It is beyond credible to accept they had no idea this guy was under suspicion of other heinous crimes that had yet been resolved, the paroled him anyway.
They are full of hate and evil.
I’d be OK with it if Funston got a job baby-sitting Newsom’s grandchildren.
I’m sorry to hear that.
I would love to know the IDIOTS on this PAROLE BOARD!!!
I’d love to know where these yahoos got their law and medical degrees.
The parole board is probably full of lefty nut jobs, BUT, gubbernor grease hair, with the flighty hands, signed this crazy piece of legislation into law.
He now pretends that he can't change the outcome of the ruling, but he authorized the law behind the release order.
HYPOCRITE!!!
