Alderpoint Man, Bleeding From Multiple Wounds and Pinned by His Foot Under a Truck, Arrested

Joseph Flynn

Joseph Flynn, age 50

On November 23, at 10:49 p.m., the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office responded to the report of an altercation with a man pinned under a truck in the Steelhead Road area of the Alderpoint area in southeastern Humboldt. According to Lt. Mike Fridley of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, a gate alarm woke a resident who then jumped into his pickup and arrived at the gate to find it had been forcibly knocked down and Joseph Flynn, a neighbor, at the scene with his 4-wheel drive utility vehicle.

According to the resident, Flynn attacked him through his open window. He allegedly began punching the resident and attempting to choke him. The resident said he struck Flynn multiple times in the head with his metal flashlight and tried to remove him from the vehicle.

Eventually, the two began tussling outside the pickup. The vehicle rolled onto Flynn’s foot pinning him to the ground. The resident said he took advantage of the opportunity to call 911 for assistance.

Medical personnel responded to the scene and the vehicle was removed from Flynn’s foot. The deputies described Flynn as bleeding from multiple wounds.

According to Lt. Fridley, in the course of the investigation, law enforcement discovered that Flynn had possession of methamphetamine. Fridley said that the deputies also learned that Flynn had struck a female partner in the face and had caused injury to her. He was arrested for domestic violence, vandalism, and possession of an illegal substance.

Please remember the information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

It’s progressively getting worse across the state, it’s not isolated to just SoHum!

The whole country.
The government has the citizens right where they want them strung out on alcohol, opiates or speed.

Boy, if you think the government is doing this, you have a thinking problem. An old adage is “Follow the money” and you won’t find it in government hands.

Why is USA in Afganistan controlling opium poppy fields? Bc the CIA are global drug traffickers. Follow the money. Why is cannabis illegal while opioid deaths, both prescribed and street go on? Profitized prisons, profitized healthcare system…Follow the (big pharma)money

And? We can normalize problems as no big deal because “it’s like that everywhere” or jump in and help to fix it.

I don’t think neighborhood watch needs pizza telling it that “it’s just not here in SoHum”, but thanks for your thoughtful insight

Read the article. It was clearly self defense.

Self defense on his own property. This tweaker wanted to rough up the guy and probably take his truck and other belongings. I’d park my vehicle on his foot too. I doubt there will be any assault charges, nor should there be.

Anyone that lives in Alderpoint knows this is a lie. Yes he put his hands on her, yes he was on drugs/ had them on him. The rest is bullsh!t and the whole dam town knows it. We could hear this whole fight from the store! Hopefully the truth will come out cause this is not what happened!

I guess our top notch sheriff still hasn’t found the prep that shot that guy in alderoint not to long ago sad how shitty our police farse is if they could just bust the meth heroin dealers the big dealers not the junkys it could, and would save so many lives it’s like they don’t want to do anything so they can continue to have job security I thought this new sheriff might make a difference but so far not much would love to hear bust of 510 lb of the s***

45 years ago, i stopped in the bar in AP.. Virgil and mama Janes?Had a mean/cold OLY. Big tussle outside. Oregon logger got his eye gouged out, all over a stolen chainsaw. Next night, went to a dance there at Deano s Straight Arrow-grange Hall. J.E.had N.S. by the hair and was pounding her head in a mud puddle. The crowd was rooting,[ in the bushes.] All in all, its still a lovely little experi-mental train-wreck-of- a- town.Al Carr called it” The town that has withstood the test of time” The more it changes the more it stays the same.Beautiful.DPI..Alderpoint is all one word.

A real crime was committed and all they care about is that he had a nono in his possession?
Lock him up good and tight.

I’m thinking that these two are “friends” otherwise we wouldn’t even be reading about it. A stranger shows up uninvited in what I consider the middle of the night…then, only one of us is leaving.

Alderpoint lets people do whatever they want in the fight department. Who knows, maybe it’s better that way?

That guy looks pretty mean. I sure wouldn’t want him attacking me, especially if he was hopped up on meth. If the truck hadn’t of pinned him down, a bullet might have been the only way to stop him.
