Michael Dwayne StoneOn Tuesday, February 7, 2017 at about 1150am, Humboldt County Sheriff’s Deputies along with the California Highway Patrol Officers responded to the 1600 block of Woody Road in Mckinleyville for a report of an erratic driver. While deputies were enroute they received information of shots fired. Once deputies arrived on scene the suspect associated with the shooting was inside his residence.

Law enforcement attempted verbal contact with the suspect, however he refused to comply. A negotiator with the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene. The negotiator was eventually able to make contact with the suspect via phone.

Further investigation revealed that 56 year old suspect Michael Dwayne Stone, had fired at least three shots at a family member and a friend who were sitting in a vehicle outside the residence. The family member and friend were uninjured. The firearm was located in the residence and seized as evidence.

Stone was arrested and booked at the Humboldt County Correctional Facility for attempted homicide and negligent discharge of a firearm. His bail is set at $500,000.

Hey, I know this guy! Okay, so he fires off a few shots off Dows and Woody. Who hasn’t had a few too many and done that in McKinleyville…specially way out there?! But “attempted homicide?” Give me a break! Sober him up in the tank and send him home to his family. Really.

He hasn’t been a screw up since high school! You obviously don’t know a lot about him. He went into the marines a few months before he turned18 and saw some terrible shit in the medical field. He’s had ptsd since! Yeah, he’s been a drinker. He was drunk and did something stupid. Too bad he couldnt ever get the help he’s needed for many years now. It’s sad that such a horrible thing happened to a great family, but it did. If you knew the Stone’s you wouldn’t say such horrible things. Go ahead and be judgmental and hateful if that makes you feel good and better about yourself.
