Law Enforcement Officers, Some Wearing Masks, in Rio Dell, According to Witness
A reader sends us these photos. She tells us, “Multiple agency cars on the 300 block of First Ave Rio Dell including plain clothes with black face masks.” This occurred about 12:45 p.m. today. She followed this up by stating, “Cars are all Humboldt sheriff now. Several people in black masks.” [Later information, see here, indicates there were multiple agencies involved.]
We will update as soon as possible.
UPDATE 1:14 p.m.: A woman was taken out in handcuffs from the residence being raided about 1:10 p.m. Here is a photo from a reader. A man is believed to have been removed from the home earlier.

You guys oughtta contact the cops TV show and see if they would send a crew up that way for the summer follies.
For real we have our fair share as the other cities
Lol
And it’s such a beautiful day.
Probably methicans
I’m thinking the cops hiding their faces are informants? af
More likely undercover cop not wanting identity known.
I think that you’re correct.
It becomes increasingly difficult to carryout surveillance operations and drug stings (or outright entrapment missions) when an officer’s identity is known up front, not to suggest that any Humboldt County law enforcement official would ever engage in any questionable or amoral behavior.
This is, however, the first time that I’ve heard of local law enforcement agencies hiding their faces. This seems to work against the notion that one has the right to confront their accusers, not to say that the police ever wish to be placed in a position that would place their character, authority or motivation in question.
what’s with the masks……will the usual suspects rant about how dishonest they are for not using their real names and becoming anonymous?
Bravo graham hill keep kicking ass and taking names .
