A reportedly stolen vehicle led Eureka Police to hold multiple people at gunpoint in Sequoia Park today. This is an ongoing situation and details are still emerging. However, according to Eureka Police spokesperson Brittany Powell, “Just after 2 o’clock, we received a call [from a citizen] that a family member’s stolen car was parked on scene at Sequoia Park and was occupied by several people.” Officers then responded to the area and determined that the occupants of a second vehicle might also be connected to the stolen vehicle.
Powell said the officers secured the gate down to the duck pond and then “conducted a high risk vehicle stop on [the] two vehicles.
“At one point it looks like at least one of the vehicles started to leave,” she explained. But the occupants were eventually ordered out of the vehicle by law enforcement. At this point, officers are investigating and interviewing the suspects.

Indeed. Our thieves are a special kind of dumb. When you steal a car DON’T STAY IN THE TOWN YOU TOOK IT FROM!
They ducked it up.
Get em. DrugS =social parasites…..oh. Im Sorry Not politicaly correct. Mentally ill who are abandoned by the social aspects of society who refuse to help them personally and expect the government funded by working class citizen tax payers
How is drug addiction not a mental illness?
Mental illness can be defined anyway that is desired. But even if called mental illness, drug addiction still has the same aspect of being self inflicted and self cured. It also is the only illness where there is a big profit to be had by those creating it and not just curing it.
As one comedian put it: he had never seen a person standing in an alley offering a bag of tuberculosis for sale.
Saw the whole thing the car did try to flea the scene but was stopped up by the bathroom area then the police drew guns we left at that point

No pun intended in using flea vs flee , I suppose, but funny considering they are probably flea-ridden scumbags.
Flea. HAHA!

I hate when I get stopped up by the bathroom and all the fleas, oh my!

The other lost coast news outlet had the woman as charged with stolen vehicle supposedly with a prior. How does one be so careless as to let some dumb tweaker broad steal their car?
