I wonder if this is the dude we heard screaming at someone last night around west bates? Yelling crazy for half an hour!
Glendale drive is closer to Blue Lake than Mckinleyville.
Got that right. Not Mckinleyville. Stupid Zip code change.
Since Fieldbrook road was opened up on the Mack side it’s all considered Mack now unfortunately!!! Very confusing to some who are not aware!!!
Idiot! Lock him up. Hide the key.
Wonder if the pistol was registered to him.
Did you know that you can’t walk the streets of a town while fully armed and twisted spun?
Good lord!
He does look like Jesse from Breaking Bad tho…
Hope the police don’t give his guns back till his 5150 is over!
Wonder where he was headed?
