Burglary Suspect Leads Officers on Epic Chase

apdThis is a press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office. The information has not been proven in a court of law and the individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:

On 4/17/2015 at about 6:00am, the Arcata Police Department was notified by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office in Maine, that a subject wanted for an extraditable burglary warrant, Drew James Bibber (age 23), was in the Arcata area and associated with a converted yellow school bus.

At about 1:00pm, officers located the associated vehicle in the 1000 block of 5th Street and began surveillance of the area.  As officers entered a business in the area to check for the warrant suspect, Bibber exited at the same time and fled from officers when his name was called.

Without shoes, the suspect led officers on an approximate nine block foot pursuit, during which time officers traversed through the Arcata Marsh, across streets with heavy traffic, through a creek and several residential backyards.  Towards the end of the pursuit, the suspect managed to find an unaccompanied bicycle and fled on that as well.

Officers were able to box in Bibber, who then jumped off the bike and fled on foot into another residential backyard where he was taken into custody at gun point.  The Lincoln County Sheriff’s department was notified and they have begun the extradition process of Bibber back to Maine.

The Arcata Police Department would like to thank the Humboldt State University Police Department for their assistance in the capture.  Additionally, a hearty thanks to the residents of Arcata who greatly assisted their police department by continuously updating officers with the location of the suspect as he fled.

It reminds me of Jason Borne, Yellow school bus ? I doubt it. it is a prop for the NSA. they are doing a recon for a
pre invasion scenario. Who else could out run the Arcata Police ? This man was a mercenary for the black arts, black bag, joint venture of the spy network here in Humboldt.
