Big Raid Near Miranda?

UPDATE Thursday 11:24 P.M.: Bail was set at $25,000 for all individuals except for Anthony Pisarski, whose bail was set at $500,000 leading me to speculate that Pisarski is the land owner of the piece in question (not that I’ve been able to get an address yet!). He posted bond yesterday.

Pamela Moore of Myers Flat was released on her own recognizance the first day.

Immigration holds were placed on the following three individuals:

1.      Fidel Delacruz-Valdovidnos

2.      Roberto Silva-Novoa

3.      Vicente Bedolla-Guitirrez

The others have all made their $25,000 bail and been released.

People began contacting me yesterday about a big raid near Miranda. One call mentioned the Dyerville area. Reports were of two teams of officers. One team, I was told, was the Humboldt Co. Sheriffs and one was some other law enforcement agency. One person mentioned that there was at least one greenhouse at the raid site.  Another said that they had heard on the scanner reports of “a boiler” which the caller speculated was related to hash making equipment.  Today, I received a report of 10 vehicles with a trailer headed up Elk Creek Rd. about 7 A.M. yesterday. (The map above represents the general area in question.)

First thing this morning, LoCo editor Hank Sims pointed out to me the Sheriff’s booking sheet, which indicated that “11 people were arrested yesterday in what must have been a massive bust.”

The arresting officer is listed as Landreneaux. Those arrested were Edward Charles Graham, Fidel Delacruz-Valdovinos, Francisco Javier Ruiz-Magallon, Joel Murillo, Jorge Luis Gonzalez-Granados, Juan Manuel Granados-Rodriguez, Ramon Granados Gonzalez, Roberto Silva-Novoa, Ruben Mandujano, Salvador Granados Gonzalez, and Vicente Alejandro Bedolla-Gutierrez.

We have a request in to the Humboldt CO. Sheriff’s office for more information. We’ll be updating you as we receive more facts on the situation.
