Wasn’t this the same guy who tried to walk out of McKinleyville Ace with a stack of Carhartts and then fled and hid in a nearby barn until arrested? It was a few years back and I think it’s the same guy

If this guy has a long ‘rap sheet’, and judging by this article he probably does, then he would be a good candidate to be made into Humboldt Bay crab food. That way, he would not be a bother to anyone anymore.

Yes, it is the same person, and was early last year. He gets himself arrested about every 6 months. https://lostcoastoutpost.com/2015/feb/13/taylorgirl-you-missing-your-pants-details-emerge-y/
