This is a press release from the Eureka Police Department. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:

On June 7, 2017 at about 3:25 p.m., the Eureka Police Department, Humboldt Bay Fire and City Ambulance responded to the foot of Truesdale Street for the report of “shots fired.” It was reported that an adult male had sustained a single gunshot wound to his hand. The suspect was believed to be 29 year old Eureka resident, Timothy Glass Jr. Glass had reportedly fled following the incident and was last seen riding a bicycle.

This first officers on scene located the victim who had what appeared to be a non-life threatening wound to one hand. The victim was transported by ambulance to the hospital for treatment. Shortly thereafter, EPD Detectives notified dispatch that they had detained Glass in the PALCO Marsh area. Glass resisted apprehension causing minor injury to a detective.

A detective contacted the victim at the hospital who positively identified Glass as the shooter, however he did not wish to pursue charges. The victim signed a no further action form. Glass was arrested and booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility for resisting arrest and probation violation.

Based on the investigation it appears Glass fired a flare gun loaded with a shotgun shell filled with Rice Krispies. The case will be referred to the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office for review.

Crispy Rice and Rice Krispies are very similiar looking; even the packaging looks the same.

Have the officers involved been trained in cereal recognition?
Are the cops certain the ammo wasn’t Crispy Rice?

Wonder why they didn’t charge him with using bait to attract ducks, and then hunting them out of season?

You actually had to synthesize, a higher level thinking skill, to come to that conclusion. That’s why the cops couldn’t do what you said.

I just got my computer to boot up and I was really upset because I had been trying since 8AM. I put on MTV’s Ridiculousness and Teyana Taylor was the guest. Then I pulled up Rice Krispie Shooting Suspect. Between the replies and Ridiculousness I have not stopped laughing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I feel so much better now. The replies were what really made me laugh. You folks need to do Stand Up Comedy. Laughter is the best medicine.

Love you all

It is seriously NOT FUNNY to point any kind of gun at ANYONE! Many results are possible, the worst being “death by cop”. If you are on drugs, put it down and amuse yourself somehow else. If you decided this was a good idea, wow, point that thing somewhere else, like at the wall or the sky!

Don’t be a fool, stay sober and don’t play with guns, explosives, hard drugs, butane in close quarters, or diesel pickups.

Love love, respect and care for each other…

just what the fuck is wrong with a diesel pick up? Stay away from idiots! I would say the worst would be having your dick blown off or shot in the spine and shitting in a bag the rest of your life but that’s just me.

One would think that charges would be mandatory for anyone who is out in public shooting a flare gun at other people, no matter what ammunition he is using.
