UPDATE 10:46 a.m.:
This is a press release from the Eureka Police Department. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:
On 03/03/16 at about 3:50 p.m., Officers with the Eureka Police Department responded to the parking lot of the 3300 block of Broadway for the report of an assault that had just occurred. Officers located a male victim in the parking lot. He had lacerations to his face and one of his ears was torn. The victim initially declined medical attention but was later transported to the hospital by a friend.
The victim said he was walking to his car when he noticed three males looking into vehicles. He said he questioned the males about their activity and they responded aggressively. He said he turned around to walk away and was struck from behind more than once by one of the males.
While interviewing witnesses, dispatch advised that a male had phoned 911 admitting he had been involved in the assault. The male hung up while on hold but a phone number was obtained. Recent contacts with the number led Officers to Bradley Still, 22 of Eureka. Still was contacted by phone and asked to respond to EPD.
Still came to the department and told Officers he was approached by the victim in the parking lot about looking in cars. Still said he felt threatened by the victim and punched him because he was afraid of what he was going to do. He said he left the scene and called police.
Based on the victim’s injuries and witness statements, Still was placed under arrest for mayhem, battery with serious injury, and assault likely to produce great bodily injury. Still was transported and booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility.

Assuming that info is a quoted press release (which is not entirely clear from the article):
Brittany . . . that should be “declined” rather than “denied.”
You’re welcome.
It’s a quote not a press release.
theres them there grammar police again-i understood the intention of the writer right away-lol
Gosh, yesterday was a full day of assaults all over the county. Scary! Glad the guy was not hurt worse than he was and hope they get all the bad guys.
jesus that mugshot…jesus…
“that should be “declined” rather than “denied.”
Jeeze Bronco, get a life. If you knew what they was supposed to say, you know what they said. I make a lot of mistakes myself, so I don’t appreciate being corrected when it is not important. Sorry for correcting you over something so unimportant, But just like you, we all have our limits….
Is it okay to correct someone for correcting someone that doesn’t need to be corrected for correcting someone that doesn’t need to be corrected? See what you start when you correct people?
Note to Saucy above: Jesus should be spelled with a capitol “J”.
Dang now I mispelled capital.
Misspelled!
Crap!

Ernie, we miss you and your take on the world!
I agree, wake up out of bed and complain about a round-the-clock editor? Not cool.
This is a great comment. Be grateful for the information, whether it be from Kym or the police and don’t nitpick.
Getting information out quickly in a world with an attention span of two seconds is not easy.
As Ernie put it so well, this was not crucial.
The world according to Ernie Branscomb awesome

He supposed to have 100 pds of weed and he still steals . Typical Tweaker
