One of Humboldt’s Most Wanted Arrested After Chase
Around 3:45 p.m., an officer chased Sylvia Jenkins, one of Humboldt County’s Most Wanted, along Hwy 96 onto Carpenter Lane in Hoopa and captured her. She had several felony warrants.
In May of 2016, Jenkins allegedly escaped officers in Siskiyou County by driving a stolen vehicle at high speeds until she crashed. Then she fled on foot from the accident scene. (See here for more.)

OK, we’re trying to write the Humboldt Anthem here. All I have so far is: high speed races aaaand long foot chases. Need music too. OK: drivin’ crazy ’cause I’m a bit hazey. Don’t be grabbin’ my butt unless you mean it. Look, I can’t do everything.
Hrmm, I can try….
Long foot races, High-speed chases
Unsolved cases, Pockmarked faces.
Most all grow pot, very few do not
Some grow a lot, just don’t get caught.
Meth is everywhere, cops don’t care
Unless there’s cash, then they’re there.
Aren’t you glad you moved to Humboldt County?
The friendly city isn’t, neighbors all distant
Houses all vacant, residents all vagrant.
Random structure fires, tents pitched in mires
Drugs only desires, no one aspires.
No more industry, everyone in misery
Some turn to robbery, others just thievery.
Aren’t you glad you moved to Humboldt County?
Protest logging, inhabit wooden lodging
There was fishing, but now it’s just wishing.
Stop pipelines afar, while driving a car
Need towers for cellular, everyone goes to war.
Rather than a train, find ways to complain
Pot’s always the refrain, somehow it will sustain.
Aren’t you glad you moved to Humboldt County?
Zombies on the streets, back-alley meets
Spoon heating repeats, with black tar sweets.
Wandering about the road, like frogger the toad
Where it’s yellowed, waiting to get mowed.
Always committing crime, never doing time
A life of grime, started in their prime.
Aren’t you glad you moved to Humboldt County?
Every day in the news, someone the government screws
They care not your views, appointing only their nephews.
Don’t try building near the coast, or your permits will be toast
Live where their law is utmost, and your toilet will make compost.
Low-income housing an issue, but provide and the city will sue
No other viable avenue, when you’re society’s residue.
Aren’t you glad you moved to Humboldt County?
This time of year, rain is always near
Flooding always to fear, water up to the pier.
Highway covered in rocks, puny things nature mocks
Last chance tickling clocks, Caltrans always just talks.
Waiting for big earthquakes, precautions one undertakes
Buildings the earth forsakes, ground the earth retakes.
Aren’t you glad you moved to Humboldt County?
Kill someone’s daughter, only get charged with manslaughter
No one seems to find it odder, driving drinking fire water.
If you only rob a store, the prison is a revolving door
Stab a few of the poor, and you’ll still be out by four.
The DA always offers a plea, rarely the inside you will see
No matter your crime spree, and your danger to society.
Aren’t you glad you moved to Humboldt County?
Ok, I need to get back to work, and it’s obvious I’m not a songwriter…
