Stolen Firearms Recovered During Arrest in Redway

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

imageservletGOULDOn 12-15-2015, at approximately 12:45 p.m., a Sheriff’s Deputy assigned to the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Garberville Station was patrolling in the 500 block of Par Avenue, Redway.
The Deputy was paying particular attention to a well-known drug house when he located a suspicious person, later identified as Christopher Gould (age 40), standing on the front porch. Gould observed the Deputy and quickly fled on foot towards the rear of the residence. The Deputy called for additional assistance and maintained a cover position on the perimeter of the residence. A short time later additional Deputies arrived on scene and began checking the property.
Deputies were able to locate personal items, such as a cellular phone and a hypodermic needle, along a fence line that surrounded the property. Deputies continued their search and located Gould hiding in very thick brush along this same fence line. Deputies were able to detain Gould and continued their investigation.
IMG_1046Approximately five feet from where Gould was hiding, Deputies located a nylon holster and two firearms that were buried under a pile of leaves. Deputies later learned these firearms were reported stolen from the Pacific Outfitters in Eureka on 08-08-2015 (Eureka Police Department case# 3C15-6147). Deputies also learned that Gould has a felony warrant for violating his Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS) terms.
Gould was placed under arrest for possession of stolen firearms, felon in possession of a firearm, felon in possession of ammunition, felon in possession of a stun gun (which was found on Gould’s person), and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Gould was transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility where he was booked on his PRCS warrant and the above charges. At this time Gould is ineligible for bail.
Anyone with information for the Sheriffs Office regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Sheriffs Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriff’s Office Garberville Station at 707-923-2761.IMG_1044

How many were stolen from pacific outfitters? It’d be nice to know how many more are still out there. How many were recovered this far? Five?

Glad they’re getting a few of the stolen guns back. Notice the Springfield Armory XD in the top photo. Fine print: Made in Croatia. Damn right. Stiff competition for the Austrian Glock. You get two mags, double mag holder, holster, nice plastic box in one package. Ready to go. Just add ammo. Git ‘er done.

Cut those dreads off! Hack them offa ya head you false rasta! Even I am more rasta than you. But I too am a white man and so I don’t insult the true dreadlocks with posing hairdo. You’re a bumbaclot and a loser. Put down the needle and guns, take some herb and go walk the hills for awhile. Refind yourself, brother.

No, the sliders are in the locked-back position and the barrels are able to be removed for cleaning in that mode.

How is it that people of that walk of life get firearms? I know he obtained them illegally, but really? There should be way stiffer penalties for being in possession of stolen firearms! I got an idea. A two strikes law. If you posses a stolen firearm you get a hand removed. Do it again and lose the other. No fingers no bang! Not much of a threat after that!
