Man Stabs Hoby’s Market With Knife
At approximately 11:30 a.m., the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department was dispatched to Hoby’s Market in Scotia. According to Samantha Karges, they received “a report of an unwanted male subject with a pocket knife, yelling at customers and stabbing the building.”
A Rio Dell Police officer reached the scene first and detained Ernest Allen Choate, age 46, until deputies could arrive. Karges reported, “We then took Choate into custody for two misdemeanors: disorderly conduct under the influence and violation of probation.”

More informal probation, it works so well to keep the citizens safe.
Market Assault!
What did Hoby ever do to him?
Have you seen their prices?
As you read the story know that he’s probably been cited and immediately released.
Under the influence, so he at least had to go sit it out in the drunk tank and sober up.
Dang. Usually go grocery shopping with my baby there. For some reason I decided not to today. Sure am glad!
A man , on drugs, attacked a building, with a knife.
This is the best story, so far, this year.

We need to address the knife violence. And ban these assault pocket knifes. Its common sense pocket knife control.
