[UPDATE 1:12 p.m.] Two Injured, One Arrested After Escaping Deputies, But No Gunshot Wounds in Lone Pine Motel Incident

Marzetta

Terrell Marzetta

An incident that began early this morning with the report of a gunshot wound, turned out to be not as first described. However, a man was arrested and two men were injured.

According to Samantha Karges, spokesperson for the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, “Early this morning our Emergency Communications Center received a call for service from a man in Garberville who told dispatchers that he had been shot during an altercation between four people at the Lone Pine Motel.”

Both Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies and medical aid responded to the scene. “Throughout the course of the investigation, deputies determined that the victim had not been shot, but was one of two men injured in the altercation,” Karges explained.

“While investigating, deputies found that one of the involved parties, Terrell Marzetta…had a one million dollar felony warrant out of Orange County for false imprisonment, pimping a minor and attempt to commit a crime,” she said.

“While being taken into custody, Marzetta escaped, fleeing on foot from deputies,” she said. Eventually, though, she explained, “Sheriff’s deputies, with the help of the California Highway Patrol, were able to locate Marzetta in the area and again take him into custody.”

Marzetta has been booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on his felony warrant, as well as fresh charges of escaping after an arrest, according to Karges.

“The incident is still under investigation,” she told us. “The two victims..have been treated and released from a local hospital.”

UPDATE 1:12 p.m.:

This is a press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:

On Feb. 22, 2018, at about 4:05 a.m., the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Communications Center received a call for service from a male victim at the Rays Food Place in Garberville. The victim told dispatchers that he had been shot during an altercation between four people at the Lone Pine Motel and had walked to the business for safety.

Throughout the course of the investigation, deputies determined that the victim had not been shot, but was one of two people injured during the altercation. Both victims were transported to a local hospital, treated and released.

Also during the investigation, deputies found that one of the involved parties, 27-year-old Terrell Andre Deno Marzetta of Sacramento, had a felony warrant with a $1 million bail out of Orange County for false imprisonment, pimping a minor and attempt to commit a crime. While being taken into custody for his warrant, Marzetta escaped and fled from deputies on foot.

Sheriff’s Deputies, with the help of the California Highway Patrol, were able to locate Marzetta in the area and again take him into custody. He was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on his felony warrant and fresh charges of escaping after arrest.

This incident is still under investigation. Anyone with information about this incident or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Sheriff’s Office at (707) 445-7251 or the Sheriff’s Office Crime Tip line at (707) 268-2539.

No these are not the transient homeless. One person was homeless and two arrested weren’t even from redway or garberville. Review ur facts, one is from orange county and one was from Oregon both wanted on felony warrants.one committed a crime against my minor Niece ( less than 10yrs old) before being arrested.

Not transient homeless? Who cares . There all scumbags. [edit] Sending them all to jail to receive free room and board and three square meals a day at the expense of us the tax payers. Even better , now they give you your own tablet to take online classes? Meantime we have to donate supplies to our schools and most of us can’t even get health care. [edit]

Fact is I’m on the one that went to the hospital get the stitches and not the one thought he got shot behind the door but he had a gun or a thought he had a gun glimmer of light off of it and noticed it was not a pistol trying to make my way out there I was unable to stop the bong from hitting me because my the door was not open all the way and then after going to the hospital hospital and explaining nobody was shot heard on the scanner that he is loose on the on the Run myself and friend of mine went looking for him and then me being the person assaulted bandage on my head. My friend and I just detained him at Humboldt house until the police got there and we walked away letting the sheriff and Highway Patrol have all the credit for what they did was their job but they’re not the one who caught him there and I get no respect around this town for it.
probably have to pay the bill for the hospital the stitches.Luckly i get to go see the awesome nurse I met tomorrow hopefully. The reality is they (cops)took couple of units out of my room that are possibly put me in danger just as much…
Miss me with the dumb shit people…. And bless the good people.

While we don’t really know for sure, the guy’s picture makes it look like he’s not too helpless or homeless. Transient, possibly. I’m wondering if he’s up here to hide, have a little toke or two while on the run, maybe make a few bucks on the weed trade. I guess you shouldn’t assume too much, though, especially from a picture.

The weed trade has brought a few bucks to our area, and more than a few problems and its undesirables that we’ve seen. Is it the cost of doing business? I miss Mom ‘n Pop: they cared about community, started alternative schools, radio stations, co-ops, and other businesses back in the day.

Never knew the weed world would change the way it has. Never thought those times would be considered the good old days.

Really???”Kym makes our town look bad”. Did you really hit the reply button after typing that? I dislike that media is able to mold how people think and see things, but come on. Kym’s blogg is just that a blogg. She doesn’t really have anything to do with what happens in society. She reports what IS happening…things people are doing…the good and the bad. She may lean towards the pro marijuana side a bit, but she does not hide it and allows others to voice their opinion (as long as they do it respectfully and aren’t just out right mean about it). That is more than you get from “real news sources”. Kym provides a service and even if I don’t agree with her on everything, I sure can’t blame her for what is happening in our community. Face it, our local newspapers suck. The RHB is an honest and helpful community resource.

I rarely see anything good that is happening on this page. It is all about crime and controversy because that is what fascinates people and gets the clicks. It would be really great to see some of the good in our community being reported.

Unfortunately, your town IS bad and I am speaking as a former resident! I moved from that area due to how bad it had become in the 20 odd years that I lived there. Just the mere thought of going down there gives me a panic attack of major proportions. Kym isn’t the one making it look bad!

Your right my bad, i should of said if we as locals knew what he was doing, which is wrong,he should have a bus ticket out of town. We as mtn people come to town to shop or eat, in the short time in town if paying attention one can pick-up on whats going on, so come on folks pay attention, and report it or get in volved, this is our community, we can make a difference. Keep up the great time consuming work Kym with out you a lot could go on and on with folks never noticing.

I was coming into Garberville early this morning and saw two obvious tourists pulling out of the Lone Pine Motel with aftershock looks on their faces. I felt bad for them but all they had to do was Yelp the dump and they would have been at either the Benbow or Best Western. Nothing good goes down at the Lone Pine. Nothing.

Life Is Good. Maybe those tourists are traveling on a budget and the BW or Benbow is out of their financial means. Neither of those inns are cheap or for the working Joe’s pocket book.
I also do not think Kym is posting more ‘bad’ than good stories. I make a point of reading more of the good than bad. She’s not making these stories up! Unfortunately, if one listens to the local radio stations, and their news, they just repeat most of the bad stories anyways. For instance today how many even clicked on the story about the Deputy Director of the Arcata Development Center? I did because I was curious of I would recognize the name of the person.

If the man is guilty of pimping a minor (which is a polite way of saying the child is raped repeatedly) then he and other people who do that (men or women) should be given jail time with no chance of parole. And that’s the kindest thing I wish for them.

Scourge in garberville and Redway motels is a problem from top to bottom.

One of the top 5 reasons that these towns are falling apart. You can’t attract travelers if there is no where safe or sanitary to stay. Bottom line. Serious pressure should be placed on the hotels by locals and local businesses to end the meth/violent criminal activity/sex traffic. Otherwise, they should be turned in to county health and heavily patrolled by law enforcement to force a clean up. PERIOD.

You can’t have meth, mayhem and sex crime on main street and expect to have prosperity.

Kick them all up or down the freeway, it doesn’t really matter because So Hum does not have the resources to police or rehab this type of mess or bust sex rings. Cities in CA don’t even have the resources and are clearing city blocks and bussing people out.

Town is littered with hardened drug dealers and addicts and vagrants – not homeless, not working class struggling – vagrants who have to intention of integrating into the community in a productive way. If that was the plan, they would be doing it.

Lone Pine Motel is known as a prostitution house. Pimps drive their women, meth, cocaine and heroine up to Humboldt to trade sex and dope for weed and cash. All the small Hotels from Ukiah North to Eureka are filled with pimps, hookers, needle users, meth addicts and people running from the law…… think about it, this pimp is already wanted for pimping minors, what do u think he was dling in Humboldt, enjoying redwoods….. ? Nope, guaranteed he was slinging hookers and slinging meth and cocaine in the drug motels….. heads up same thing in Ukiah, Willits, Laytonville, Lake County Garberville, Fortuna, Eureka, Arcata

Once again the Humboldt and Mendo Sheriffs will do nothing to change the situation because they dont make money busting pimps and small time ice dealers. They focus all of their energy on marijuana because marijuana means ASSET FORFEITURE, WHICH MEANS MONEY TO THE DEPARTMENT, they dont investigate real crimes with victims, that costs money, homicides, missing persons, human smuggling and pimping as well as small time dope dealing are all ignored in the Sheriff’s quest for green paperbacks $100 bills

Seems he has been in Southern Humboldt since 2017 judging from the driving without a license arrest in Garberville, I think police should look deeper into his human smuggling and pimping as well as drug dealing in Garberville Southern Hum area….. dont look good, bet he is the one running the prostitutes in Southern Humboldt on backpage and in the local ghetto motels
