A man wanted in connection with a DUI manslaughter case has been arrested following an anonymous tip, Valley Crime Stoppers said.

Peter Anusith Bandaphone, 42, was arrested Wednesday, three days after Valley Crime Stoppers posted information seeking the public’s help, according to the organization. The tip provided Bandaphone’s location and led to his arrest on a warrant issued by the Fresno Police Department.

Bandaphone was wanted for gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated stemming from an incident that occurred June 22, 2025, Valley Crime Stoppers said.

Valley Crime Stoppers Executive Director Erica Magarian confirmed the anonymous tipster will receive the reward money, but said the organization could not determine where the information was seen, noting its boosted social media campaign targets specific locations where investigators believe suspects may be hiding.

Booking records show Bandaphone was arrested by the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office. He faces multiple felony and misdemeanor charges, including DUI manslaughter, embezzlement, drug-related offenses, and driving on a suspended license. Deputies arrested him on a no-bail warrant.
