$20,000 Reward for Man Wanted for Allegedly Attempting to Shoot a CDFW Officer

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

Shawn Hof

*HCSO Tip Line 707-268-2539*

A reward of up to $20,000 remains available for information leading to the arrest of Shawn Eugene Hof Jr., suspected of attempting to shoot a CDFW Officer in Aug 2016. Anyone with information in this case (#201604226), particularly the whereabouts of Hof, is encouraged to call either the CDFW Cal-TIP line at 888-334-2258, or the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Tip line at 707-268-2539.
The California Wildlife Officers Foundation, California Waterfowl Association, Defenders of Wildlife, Humane Society of the United States, Nature Conservancy, Sport fishing Alliance and private donors collaborated on the reward.
On Sunday, August 21, 2016, at around 12:40 a.m., a wildlife officer from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) was patrolling in Carlotta, Humboldt County. The wildlife officer saw a pickup truck with several occupants using spotlights on Redwood House Road near Highway 36. The wildlife officer attempted an enforcement stop of the truck when the driver sped away. A pursuit ensued and a person, who was believed to be Hof, was in the rear of the truck and began shooting at the wildlife officer as they attempted to get away. The suspects crashed their vehicle into a tree off the road, then fled on foot into the woods and escaped.

The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office and Humboldt District Attorney’s Office assisted in the initial investigation into the shooting incident. Through their investigation, they identified Hof as the suspect. The Sheriff’s Office has obtained a $500,000 Ramey Warrant for Hof’s arrest.
Shawn Eugene Hof Jr. is described as 5’9’ tall, 150 lbs, with brown hair and brown eyes.

Man they still haven’t caught this clown? Dumb enough to shoot at a cop but smart enough to hide for a year, who’d a thought.

Couldn’t they just have said ‘Adult’ or ‘human’. Is’nt the term ‘man’ rather sexist?

Thank you for reeling in the trolls! Many people I know don’t even read comment sections anymore because they have to wade through the infantile useless stuff to get to a single salient comment.

That must have came out wrong, Yes it’s good to a certain extent after that I feel it does more damage than good, say when people start getting upset because a headline says “man” when the’re clearly looking for a man and not “human” it gets a little ridiculous. Just my opinion didn’t mean to offend.

I don’t think anything or one was being described. I’m pretty sure it is a way of starting a sentence. As in “Like,…” Appropriately or not, this is one whacko conversation.

“PC” is used as a derogatory term. But all it really means is be considerate.

PC does not mean being considerate. It means being forced into adhering to speech that has been vetted by selected social groups, and enforced by public media, as the only correct view point. It declares open season on any other opinion. And is endlessly tolerant of the worst actions as long as it is done in the name of the approved cause.

In other words, according to PC-osity, it is perfectly fine to be as nasty as you want to- let’s say for example- a rich person who has done nothing wrong while turning around and rationalizing the horrible behavior of a poor person lest some of the others in the PC mob turn on you. Substitute race, gender, disability, age, place of employment, etc can be substituted for ‘rich’ as the moment dictates.

No indeed. PC-osity tells the public who is acceptable to treat with a total lack of consideration and who it is not acceptable to hold accountable for anything. And the media is the self appointed arbitrator for the public.

They aren’t going to let him go. As a matter of fact, the last two raids going after him, they’ve had an ambulance staged a couple blocks away.

I REALLY hope someone does & SOON!!! This kid would not hesitate to not just shoot AT Someone, but would happily throw down on a human intentionally, not just shooting at a following vehicle but the individual instead!!!
