Stupid stupid stupid
Seems like this kid with the facial ink has been in the news a few times… I guess he’s free again in “slap on the wrist” county. Sure would be a shame if the EPD fired 40-50 rounds in his general direction…
Good reporting to the person who turned it in and good job FPD for nabbing them. Wonder what they had planned to do with those weapons. Geeze, so young to be so involved with crime. It is the drug lifestyle causing it. So sad and so troubling but glad they got them.
What happened to the other two in the vehicle?
What happened to these two pieces of shit??? Charges? Bail? Hellooooo, FPD, can’t you even write a complete press release?
Man this kid used to cause trouble when my son was in kindergarten with him. He lived near by our home and I felt bad not allowing him to play with my kids but he behaved very inappropriate for a 5 year old. Poor kid has was never taught right from wrong
Time for the “kid” to make his own choices. He old enough to know. Whether or not he was taught.
It’s his parents’ fault. Right? Not his!
SMFH
Boy has the tiny town changed. Beginning to feel and look like Eureka in some aspects. Great job citizen and even better kudos to FPD.
I’m sure these two punks were just scared, maybe they were recently robbed by gang member….. (Sarcasm implied. Good job to the citizen for calling this in, and not getting shot by these two scumbags. This Martinez kids seems to be making his ugly mug onto the criminal side quite often now [edit]

Atleast twice this little shit has made headlines. Wonder how many times he’s been booked otherwise…..
lol, “he didn’t mean to hurt nobody he was scared”, “just the other day he was held down by a gang of po-leese and they sharpied all over his face.”
Thought I’d borrow the ridiculousness from the Lasisnki Klan! Was so good I didn’t even have to embellish!
Thanks to the observant citizen!! And FPD quick reaction!! I walk my dog down there all the time. Get these wanna be thugs out of town!!
he is way past wanna-be. He needs to be given frequent flyer status at Corcoran and Pelican Bay.
Good job FPD for not shooting first and asking questions later. I have respect for not over reacting and creating a more dangerous situation especially with other citizens may be around.
The EPD can learn a thing or two from you.
Lol, you serious? That’s like a late 1800’s Iver Johnson top break revolver. Hahaha! What were they doing robbing a stage coach?
That thing had to be reloaded using special cartridges and black powder.
Anyone see the Lone Ranger and Tonto held hostage in Fortuna park?
Yeah obviously stolen. Ive had my nice old guns stolen, so I always look at these picks hoping my old gems will show up some day. I hope somebody gets his old revolver back!!
This is the hammeless model made so that the hammer doesn’t catch on a pocket when being pulled and cartridges with modern smokeless powder are still available, but it is very hard to shoot these pistols accurately. They are the infamous “Saturday Night Owl’s Head Specials” so called due to the head of an owl at the top of the early plastic grip.
Why why why?? You all say pot isn’t a gateway drug?? Back in the 80’s i was a speed freak, NEVER smoked pot, EVER. I am now making 60k a year with no face or neck tats. Look at these losers; why can or would you people condone pot?? I am all about the medicinal aspect maybe 80 years ago, this shit IS NOW a gateway drug. Wake up people, watch what’s going on!
Your statement makes no sense what so ever. There is no pot in this. They were caught with meth, junk and guns.
Agreed.
It feels like nobody is afraid of getting caught with a gun these days.this isn’t a open carry state.go to Texas,you can carry a gun in your holster!to many crazy people for that to happen in calif.thank god,because wholly hell!!!
As well as Oregon and Washington and Nevada and Idaho and Arizona and just about everywhere else in America you can open carry except for five states I believe. only california, Illinois, DC, New York and South Carolina and Florida are illegal to open carry in. To my knowledge at least.
G-mas, but do you know what the real difference between TX and CA is? Only criminals can open carry in CA! For some reason that doesn’t make me “feel” safer.
Wholly shit!that’s enough to scare the crap out of you.ha
Good god lady. Wake up. Good people carry a gun, bad people afraid?!?! WTF
I’m a good person,I DON’T CARRY A GUN!!good god!
Breath, relax brother. Get back on your meds. It’s going to get better…
I wouldn’t compare these jugheads with open carry. One was concealed and I bet the other one was too but they were screwing around or adjusting it because it was floating around not secure in a holster. These morons were rookie gun handlers and lucky they didn’t hurt anyone. I swear when cops find one in the wasteband, they should pull it out by the trigger to see if it’s on safety or it not to clear the chamber.
G-ma it also feels like no one is afraid of getting caught with, not only face tattoos, but really shitty face tattoos. I wonder if these losers voluntarily choose these ridiculous tattoos or are they victims of passing out with their shoes on.
Yep it happened here one night with a black sharpie at a party.lol
No brains were located in this search
Haha that’s a fact
The face tat gives it away, really it does.
I’ve seen that kid in the paper I’d say 2 times before this. How many times has he gone threw catch and release. 3 times meaning this is the 3rd time ,but maybe not felon with a firearm .probably no o/r ,but our system it could happen.
I hope there is an additional warrant out for the face tat artist, those are so crappily done that’s a crime unto itself.
If he ever does somehow change his life, it would take tens of thousands of dollars to get that shit off of his face and neck, if it would even all come off.
Another instance whereby the legal system failed… Often when people get arrested, it takes longer to drive them to jail, then they actually spend time in jail. This of coarse is a privilege setup by Mendocino County S.O. because they allow virtually anyone to get out in 20 minutes or less if they cough up money, call it bribe or bail. It’s all the same. Murder suspects, robbery, assault, parole violations, etc. Maybe these DUI’s or assaults or other felons should be allowed to get out immediately…
Last night around 4:30 am we heard 7 gun shots Pine hill.did anyone else hear them? One right after the other
Leave yur guns at home son. Don’t take yur guns to town.
Not sure who the observant citizen was but thank you for getting more scum off the streets. I was there in that area just 2 hours later. Hope I would have been that observant.
Awww they’re just young men trying to find themselves who made a bad choice or two! If Gallegos was still in office he would work at understanding them and all the medicine growers that voted for Gallegos would send vibes of love and peace and weed growing. Namaste Forever in Humboldt!!
He looks like he fell asleep on a newspaper.sorry
No worries. Upstanding young citizens like these know how to control themselves so there’s no chance of anything gun related happening. Yeah, RIGHT!!!
Thats a pretty nice lookin Iver Johnson. I got a 32 cal myself. Maybe it will go up for auction XD
And we see one of the same suspects being chased down in a stolen car (with more weapons found) on 4/14/17.
