Looks a bit odd - did they just miss the last exit?
A number of passengers reported in common, that the aircraft touched down unusually hard, veered to the left exiting the runway to the left, then veered right and crossed the runway before coming to a stand still right off the runway. After about 15 minutes the passengers disembarked through the two forward left hand doors, there was no visible damage to the aircraft. The onward leg to Singapore was cancelled, the passengers are currently being rebooked onto other flights to Singapore.
Observer "Flyer" on the ground said the aircraft touched down past the 1000 feet marker but within the touch down zone, veered left beyond the left runway edge onto grass between taxiways B4 and B6, then veered right and went across the runway exiting the runway to the right before coming to a stand still.

Two CHP air officers were patrolling Highway 37 in Sonoma County around 4 p.m. when they noticed a small, blue and gold, single-engine sport plane flying dangerously low to the ground — an estimated 50 feet when regulations require at least 500.
Officers followed the plane, a 2011 Aerotrek, until it landed at Petaluma Municipal Airport. Officers were talking to the pilot and owner, a 62-year-old man, when they noticed alcohol on his breath, said CHP flight Officer Jeff Moring.
Field sobriety tests indicated the pilot was drunk. He was arrested on suspicion of reckless flying and operating an aircraft under the influence. His name has not been released.
