Two men are in custody following a felony traffic stop in Hoopa.
Around 2:30 p.m. on Jan. 3, 2018 two sheriff’s deputies were on patrol in the Hoopa Area near Boozer Ln. and Highway 96 when they observed wanted assault suspect, Cory Michael Nelson, 32, driving southbound in a blue truck. When the deputies attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the truck, Nelson turned south on Shoemaker Road and began to accelerate the vehicle. Deputies engaged in a pursuit. Nelson then turned the vehicle onto Telescope Rd. and pulled over into a turn out.
Upon the arrival of backup, deputies conducted a felony traffic stop and detained three male subjects. Upon a search of the vehicle, deputies located four boxes of ammunition and five pounds of marijuana. On the side of Shoemaker Rd., deputies also discovered a handgun, loaded with the same type ammunition as was inside the vehicle, with damage consistent with being thrown from a vehicle.

Meanwhile Kenny Springer, wanted felon, freely roams his home turf in southern humboldt.
Oh yes, that brings back teenage childhood memories of p-ville. watching Kenny and Liana beat each other in the face with rocks and bottles, tweaked out of their mind. I guess some people Never Grow Up.
Kenny Springer is the biggest pos in so hum.
What he said!
Possession of Marijuana for sale is a federal crime in the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation. They could be charged separately for the possession charge. It is estimated that 80% of drugs in Hoopa are brought in by non-Indians.
Mr Nelson looks like he is a great influence on Mr Edwards.
Humboldts finest. A true reflection of humboldts communities!
