Looks like things a drug dealer would have on him (ha) make me wonder
Wow! Arcata Leo’s are awesome. Good job Arcata p.d.
What are Gang members that can afford a Mercedes doing in Arcata?
It’s Arcata Man, 68′ Benz runs on used fry oil Bio Diesel. Eco Groovy bangers kick’n it Nor Cal. Busted!
Wow..so just because I’m Mexican I’m a drug dealer/gang member? FYI I’m a plumber who works hard and who doesn’t own a firearm now days? Forgive me for being a Mexican who owns a Mercedes Ben..
Lol cash monies
Great job Arcata PD!
Kim, the arcata police press release i saw posted 40 minutes ago only listed Andrew Garcia as the gang member. “During the traffic stop, the rear passenger of the vehicle, Ronald Joshua Loureiro (age 29) from Arcata, was taken into custody on a parole warrant. The front passenger, Cierra Rebeccah Lee Oscar (age 24) from Klamath, was found to be on probation for narcotics and weapons related violations and was searched per the terms of her probation. Officers located about one half ounce of methamphetamine on her person as well as paraphernalia related to the ingestion of methamphetamine. The driver of the vehicle, Andrew Garcia (age 29), a validated Norteno gang member from San Jose, was found to have a loaded .40 caliber handgun concealed in his waistband.
Incident to the officers traffic investigation, approximately one ounce of methamphetamine, several digital scales, ammunition and packaging materials for the sales of controlled substances were located. Over $6400 in cash monies was seized as evidence of narcotics sales.”
Both Garcia and Loureiro are listed as gang members: “Ronald Joshua Loureiro (age 29), a validated gang member from Arcata”…and…”Andrew Garcia (age 29), a validated Norteno gang member from San Jose…”
Maybe they can use a black belt in their gang.
well i guess whoever typed them up must have made a mistake on either the one they posted on the arcata police facebook page or the one they made available to you.
No way the dude with a neck sleeve is a gang member
Interesting. I checked on the APD’s Facebook page and I see what you mean. I called and the Sgt on duty wasn’t sure either. The Sgt who wrote up the press release isn’t available until tomorrow. I’ll check on that then.
This is Andrew and those cops are clowns illegal traffic stop and planted drugs they are going to be sued to the furthest extent and further more I ain’t no gang member.and what I’m a Mexican who works hard and has money and a gun so automatically i m a drug dealer talk about racial profiling..
It’s seems you are a Mexican that had a concealed weapon, I’m guessing the weapon is illegal, that was driving a vehicle with a a known gang member and transporting digital scales, packaging materials, meth and a meth pipe. That’s it, no racial profiling is needed. Replace a Mexican with a white guy and you still get the same conclusion. ALL meth dealers are nothing but parasitic pieces of fecal matter.
So your referring to gang enhancements as a way of being validated funny thing is I’ve never been validated nor have I ever had any gang related crimes in the past from my home county the only crime I committed was being a Mexican with money in a racist community you can argue this all you want the proof is in the pudding
If you would like to discuss this faulty case against me more in dept let me know I will give my number to anyone nothing to hide.
Oh, good luck with this “faulty case”. Report back and tell us how its going for you.
Attitude might have some bearing on your complaints too. Like no one else has ever been caught up in error because the past experience of police has been ugly.
Tolerance goes both ways.
Felons with guns, felons with ammunition, felons with drugs, felons out running our streets? The people need to take back the Kalifornia Justice system. Arizona is not putting up with this nonsense.
You may want to look up the number of felons in our Congress and Senate first.
Yay, Wally!
Because someone gets away with crap somewhere in the universe doesn’t mean that crap must be ignored when dumped locally.
Isn’t meth a misdemeanor in Cal.?
LOOKS LIKE DACA IS SHRINKING.
Humboldt State University is quickly approaching an enrollment that is 35% Hispanic or Latino.
Should we really be surprised that the Mexican-American gang element has arrived in Humboldt?
With Los Angeles serving as Humboldt State University’s new cash cow — surely this trend will not end anytime soon.
Where are from or is it you don’t get out much? There are over 15 million latinos in California they out number whites. Of course HSU has a Latino enrollment around 35%. And another one for all the xenophobes out there is that there’s more Bulgarians in California than any other state. So watch out the Bulgarian enrollment is sure to increase at HSU. Keep on smoking that white lives matter pipe and keep the doors and windows locked, they’re coming to get you and steal your whiteness.
Latino and whiteness are not mutually exclusive. Racism and latino are not mutually exclusive. Trolling on the other hand is pretty universal.
I thought we learned from the Trayvon case that Latinos are whites.
“According to 2015 US Census Bureau estimates, California’s population was 72.9% White, 6.5% Black or African American, 14.7% Asian, 1.7% Native Americans, 0.5% Pacific Islander and 3.8% from two or more races. … Hispanics are the largest ethnic group in California.”
They are still a minority.
Or perhaps just better informed than you are😊
Give him a break: he’s a guest!
“Klamath Woman” must be the poor victim of the “Gang Bangers”
Thank you, thank you, thank you law enforcement. I’m glad you’re here. Be safe.
Neck or face tattoo, = guilty.
Wow that’s big of you,talk about profiling, I call b.s I’m a white woman 42 with stars on my face and my husband’s name on my neck,and many more and I DO HAIR FOOL!!!!!
He was being sarcastic. I think.
I love how people up here play the blame game. When are we as a coooooooooooommmmmmmmuuuuinty, going to step up and not allow this behavior.
TALK IS CHEAP TAKES MONEY TO BUY WHISKEY, WHAT IS YOUR PLAN TO RID YOURSELVES OF THIS HORRIBLE GANGLAND SOCIAL SOCIETY?. A VIGILANTE COMMITTEE? E CLAMPUS VITUS. A CIRCUIT HANGING JUDGE, A FRESH SET OF GALLOWS?
as soon as you teach your kids not to consume heroin and meth. then they won’t come here to provide said drugs.
Or pot?
her cheeks aren’t rosy red from pot. they say it makes all your problems go away, which will be disastrous for all future generations going forward, you know with all the stress they have from a variety of new sources that most of us didn’t have. weed doesn’t offer that.
How do you get “validated” as a gang member? I wonder if I could get validated for anything? Maybe I could get validated as a bigot.
Here is one site’s ideas on how validation happens. https://www.facebook.com/notes/cm-law/how-gang-members-are-validated/397600903397
Thank you for the research you do to keep everyone informed.
Dang, I’m not for violence or gangs, and these folks look like some real sad idiots, but generally speaking those rules for gang “verification” seem all too easily applied selectively.
Attorney Kathleen Bryson is always at the ready for Eureka’s
MS-13 members, they should give her a call. She’ll make sure they get the lightest sentence possible.
We need to take the law in our own hands
SSS. figure out what that stands for. It’s the only solution!!
Tell Gilbert what’s up for me
Blustery balderdash.
Kym, I was waiting for this post to be gone. Why isn’t it?
Because I have no clue what sss stands for–my dad used to say shit, shower, shave, but I suspect from your comment it means something else.
Another good test for our local courts. Let them out, and we might as well forget Humboldt ever getting better. Send them to prison !!!!!!!!
Snort their drugs blow the cash lol
VEHICLE CODE VIOLATION MY ASS
U KNOW HOW MANY EXPIRED TAGS I SEE RUNNING AROUND THIS WAS RACIAL PROFILING BUT THAT IS FINE BY ME
Great link Kym thx
I remember when in some states deadheads were prosecuted as ” gang members”. Over-reaching cops and prosecutors weaken our justice system. But in this case- real violent gang, good job APD! Hope our county court will now make a stand! ( Tho Im not holding my breath)
Klamath woman…goodness gracious!!!
Just drove through the area a few weeks ago…beautiful, quiet, simple.
The load these lovelies were found with was enough to send the whole lil 200 plus population town of Klamath into full tweeker status.
Pretty far from any LEO’S even if you did call to report it or needed help chances are your dead or the freaks n creeps are long gone before any “help” would arrive.
Spot on.
This is the kind of scum that needs to be taken off the streets. Adios Assholes!!!
This is why a pack heat…
Well, WHY A PACK HEAT? The suspense is killing me.
Yeah yeah grammar police…see u n hell…
You guys are Italian! That’s a spicy sauce.

Say Hola to the future, Aztlán-style.
What is that stick-like glass thing with a ball on the end? Looks like a lolly pop. (I know, I’m a little behind, but I really would appreciate a clue.)
Glass D**#! For meth, crushed oxy or base. Which around here “meth” is used lightly because often times things that are called methamphetamines have no amphetamines in them and are pesticides pcbs and god-knows-what other stuff crushed up.
Loureiro Looks more like 40 something…
If “Miss Woody woodpecker” would spend half the time picking her friends, as she does putting on eye make-up she would be better off.
The cops planted the drugs,ya sure. So why are you a felon??? Most folks don’t carry guns,drugs,bullets. Most folks aren’t felons. And all the crimanals in prison are innocent!! Ya and I’m Rachel Welch
