Yesterday afternoon, Brian Coffman, a 32-year-old McKinleyville man, was arrested in the Bayshore Mall food court. According to Brittany Powell, spokesperson for the Eureka Police Department, officers from POP were assisting a bail bond company with the arrest.

“[H]e was there with his girl,” according to Luis Ruiz who took the photo. “[T]hey both had shades on and acting a Lil weird then we saw [an officer] come in and [go] straight to him and put him under arrest.”

Coffman was also picked up on misdemeanor drug charges and for allegedly being a Felon with a Firearm.

See story about Coffman from 2013.

Wearing shades is now a crime? Must keep the prison system in the money. Too many criminals, not enough funds, raise those taxes rhetoric has gotten old. We’re putting the wrong ones behind bars.

Go look at the record of his arrest on lostcoastoutpost. DUI, felon in possession of a firearm, posession of narcotics. Appears he may have skipped bail, too, from the presence of bond agents.

He also talks about sending cocaine and weed to Alaska in his profile comments.

Yes, exactly. A little common sense reveals that the LEO’s and bond agents verified the perp’s ID following the tip. Rational thought reveals that a convicted criminal would have plenty of pictures, prints, etc. on file and that the agents were working from solid evidence. Since the suspect was non-violent, if there was a mistaken identity apologies would ensue, no harm done.

It takes a bit more than just wearing shades to get you rousted. It helps not to creep people out, brandish your stolen handgun in Arcata Plaza, stuff like that.

Maybe he should have thrown a neck scarf in with that outfit.

What were they doing wrong? If you haven’t noticed, there are a lot of weird acting people.

They weren’t arrested for acting weird. They were arrested on warrants for prior issues.

It is unclear to me who is the person quoted, saying what they saw. I suspect it might be the person who took the pictures but there is no attribution.

Yes, keep thinking. The attribution for the photo is under the photo in the caption: Luis Ruiz.

The photo, not the quote, was previously attributed. I thought the quote was likely from the photographer but it was not mentioned. Kym now added the attribution to the quote.

Der!, Delta and Lost Croat Outburst are really all the same poster, right?

I’m a wanted felon, so I am going to dress myself up as caricature of a wanted felon, a style copied from his favorite character from some version of Grand Theft Auto. Next I’m going to one of the most visible places in the county, food court, Bayshore Mall. Then I am going to hang out at the mall with my girl, my necklace, my neck tats, and my sunglasses. Living the life.

This guy was in Myrtle Ave Market at 10 am 9/13 causing a scene. His lady was staggering around, maybe dancing, and he got hostile with a customer when she almost ran into them. The owner kicked him out of the store (not literally). Police were called. I’m not pleased to learn he was carrying a gun.

This should be an opportunity to get straightened out. One can only hope that they see the error of their ways.?
