Humboldt County Jail Inmate Stabbed by Sharpened Spork
This is a press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:
On Wednesday, September 6, 2017 at approximately 1550 hours a Correctional Deputy was conducting routine checks in a dormitory style housing unit when he noticed multiple inmates looking into the bathroom area. He responded to the area and noticed an inmate being assaulted by Francisco Mendoza. He immediately called for back-up.
After several verbal commands to get Mendoza to stop the assault, the deputy deployed his department issued taser. After being tazed Mendoza complied with the commands and was handcuffed by responding deputies.
Upon investigating the scene a sharpened spork was found that appeared to be used in the assault.
The victim received wounds to his forehead, ear, neck and arm area as a result of the assault. The victim’s injuries were not life threatening and were treated by facility medical staff.
Mendoza was charged with PC245(a)(1) Assault with a Deadly Weapon, PC245(a)(4) Assault by Force Likely to Produce Great Bodily Injury, and PC1203.2 Violation of Probation under HCSO Case #201704435.

When spooning just doesn’t cut it…
He got sporked for not spooning
How some people can claim that rape can never funny is beyond me.
You obviously haven’t been raped, assaulted, punched, stolen from, verbally assaulted or even disciplined. [edit]
How dare you talk about prison rape.Kym You paying attention.
Talking about prison rape isn’t against the rules. Only gloating about it.
U deleted me and got all over my ass for even subliminaly mentioning prison sex… u must not like me. Told me my momma tolerated such behavior. What ever😒
I did not tell you your mother tolerated such behavior. I said that your excuse that you weren’t talking about prison rape when you recommended a guy get breasts tattoos might have fooled your mother but it doesn’t work with me.
Fair enough kym. So what’s wrong with men and breast tattoos. A far cry from glouting about rape but….its your site, yo rules have a peachy day kym
Sure Rev. The “Oz” comment was intended to be humor….but I think I get where your coming from
How knife!
Lol!!you guys kill me!!
if the hacks are wondering where the weapon came from they should look no further than colonel sanders. Who has done more than that deranged Kentuckian to proliferate these vile tools of scooping/shallow poking? Maybe I want to eat my coleslaw with a regular spoon thank you very much. Chopsticks and knives would be much safer.
Shallow poking! Ha!
The name Spork was trademarked registered by the Van Brode Milling Co., Inc., of Clinton, Massuchests in 1969 for a piece of cutlery combining the features of a spoon, a fork and sometimes a knife. A New York Times article mentions that Hyde Ballard of Westtown, Pennsylvania filed an application to register “Spork” as a trademark around 1952. In the United Kingdom, “Spork” has been trademark registered by Plastico Limited (TM 1052291) since 1975.
The name spork has been in common use since at least 1900 and appeared in the 1909 Century Dictionary supplement. There are many patents for sporks with or without the use of the name itself dating back over one hundred years.
Can’t blame everything on the Colonel. And sometimes I do like the Original Recipe, if well-prepared.
Are we certain the weapon was not a runcible spoon?
Good one.
Best comment ever. Thanks
Spork it, just Spork it!!!
Whats a Spork?
Special Pork
Kind of like a spoon with short, fork-like, tines at the end.
Eat with your dam hands save 2 bullets
You can just put a spork in me, I’m done.
“Assault with a deadly weapon”. Are they serious?!
You get the cliff Claven award
YOU should sharpen up your repartee…
Hey who wants to TALK about prison rape? Don’t worry I’m not glouting…
Call the hot line…
So the correctional staff will sit there yelling commands while someone is getting shanked instead of deploying the tazer and or force immediately,..
???????????????????
They are not too bright are they?
I don’t get the second charge. Doesn’t the first charge imply the second?
Could be time for plastic sporks, don’t cha think?
Not up on my prison issue utensilry, are these not plastic sporks like Taco Bell? A deadly weapon?
We often assume it was some thing “in side”that provokes the attack. Probably not the case.
