While a Helicopter Circled, Humboldt County Deputies, and Arcata Police Surrounded Home Containing Possible Homicide Suspect

At approximately 6:30 p.m., according to Arcata Police, they assisted the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department in an operation near Ball Court off of Ernest Way in Arcata. A neighbor tells us that a helicopter circled overhead while down below officers with guns drawn yelled for the occupants to come out of a home there. According to the scanner, the person was wanted in connection with a homicide and a robbery and had made suicidal statements.

The neighbor said that three young guys eventually came out of the residence “with bulging bags.” From scanner traffic, we believe that was about 7:40 p.m. Then, the neighbor said, the cops swarmed the three and arrested all of them in front of the garage.

Arcata Police sent us to the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office for more information. At this point, the Sheriff’s Department has said they will get back to us with more information.

Humboldt has one of the highest crime rates in the US. At this point Chicago is probabaly as safe a town.

It’s always been dangerous anywhere. There’s this thing called real time 24hr news. It’s in your face 24/7, unlike yrs ago when you’d wait for you 6 o’clock news. I can recall dangerous stories, decades before I ever moved here. To act like, Humboldt has always been some safe place is, ridiculous! To act like it’s more dangerous than other places like Chicago is Ludacris! Get off your couch and try to enjoy this thing called life. Tv & internet is not life but lazy entertainment.

Thank you lol!!!

Id say the murder rate in the early 1900’s here was one of the worst.
Maybe folks need to go to some inner city places in chicago and LA and then see if you think its safer. Please go. Really.
Our humboldt bubble has popped, welcome to the rest of the US.

If you wanna play the stats/study game, eureka is one of the top 3 cities in CA where you are most likely to be shot by a police officer.
For real!

There was a drug raid at the Royal Inn yesterday morning. Sheriff’s task force. Time for that place to be shut down like the notorious Budget.

Pacific Builders started the renovation of the Budget this morning. should be back up shortly. I am glad it stayed private and not another tax loss like the Down Towner.

“Psychologist Steven Pinker’s book The Better Angels of Our Nature explains that the world is actually growing less violent, even though the media may give a different impression.”
