Welcome home Sam ! Good to have you back in the neighborhood !
Looks like the sheriff Fish and Wildlife and a few others are Possing up Northside of Redway didn’t see a wood chipper
Thanks for keeping SoHum a safer place for everyone.
Glad you are back Sam thank you for your service. May our good Lord always watch over you.
Doesn’t look like he’ll be chasing anyone down.
While it is great that there is a sergeant in SoHum and congratulations to the new cop in town I wonder how far he can run before he can’t run any farther. What is with the fat cops? This guy is not only fat he is obese. Come on Sheriffs Dept. this makes you look bad!!
Hes just gotta get his hands on you and then! If he can. Bet he can whoop some ass tho..
Naw , he has about 3-5 seconds of gas ⛽️ In that tank . Trust that engine ain’t running right .
Stress of constantly dealing with jackasses. And sitting all day in the car, driving from one mess to another.
What is it with people who make rude public comments about other people’s weight and appearance?
His weight is relevant to his duties, it is a fact, but yes there is no need to be rude about it.
Preach ! Mic drop !
Honestly just because he’s heavier set doesn’t mean he can’t run. I’ve seen many cops considered heavy and they can still keep up. Everyone is built differently, I’d rather be stocky and muscular if I’m going to potentially fight people.
Yeah, because professional football players are all 5’10” and 150 lbs. I bet he’d surprise you.
I for one am pleased to perceive a more visible presence of sheriff’s and CHP cars on patrol in Garberville-Redway and especially on Briceland-Thorne Rd, where too many drivers seem to think they’re in some sort of race to beat everyone else on the road to town or home by a couple of minutes. I’m sure anyone who drives this road regularly knows what I’m referring to.
Everyone thinks their a race car driver til they end up on their top lol
He should bust zac .
Agreed!!
He’s got done lapped , his belly done lapped his belt , or aka a dickie do , his stomachs sticks out further than his @&$* do ! 😞Isn’t there a fitness test they have to test for or was that a one time thing when first hired ?
I think its very wrong to mention his body composition in a mean way. This man is doing a difficult job that serves our community. I do however agree that fitness should be a requirement for LEO’s. They should have to pass periodic fitness tests in order to stay on active duty.
Hey we’ll take what we can get , dude .
I think he is sexy and he looks like a Viking!
I don’t think the guy who patrolled in garberville 7 years needs that warning
Shame on the bullies who bring up his weight. The guy is obviously wearing a vest. He does not look fat to me. Besides, he has passed the physical tests, so who cares? He can do his job. That’s all that matters. Get a life, bullies! What a way to give the guy a welcome to our community. Bullies are cowards!
Welcome Sgt. Williams. Ignore the bullies hiding in anonymity on the internet.
What are those physical tests/ requirements???
I am not Sure about the bulletproof vest, Maybe. But he maybe a little chunky,But he looks like he can get the job done.
Right on, well said. Sam’s a great guy to boot.
Shows who is reading this blog.. good folks know that cops are the bullies. Gimme a break.
I’m surprised and bemused that y’all are doing this to a man for a change.
All the negative commentary comes from the nervousness and insecurities of those throwing out their venom. Williams I is a man of substance who knows what he coming back into after leaving to get real life experience to help his community out.More than these Hill Billies who will NEVER leave SoHum because it’s all they’ll ever know and hide behind and use as a cover up as being “local contractors “, LOL. I feel sorry for you as our government closes in every day and will dismantle the Emerald Triangle with their back door big tobacco company deals and war on drugs excuses.Then what will you have when causois breaks loose and you need help from law enforcement? Oh-Who will be there to save your sorry A**s ?? Seargant Williams will. Meanwhile, you’ll still be uneducated, broke and pathetic living in the Humboldt bubble…
Or you’ve never ran into a cop wielding his or her power when you’ve done nothing but be born . Sounds like you need to eat out in the world. And going to eureka from redway doesn’t give you real world experience.
Sam!! Sam!! Congratulations Man!!
“Sergeant” – military term.
Recruit – military term that’s plastered all over The County’s job list.
Doctors and Nurses are recruited by hospitals. I was a “recruit” in a church choir once. Maybe the police have become too militarized in some aspects but that is what happens when the public has become so hateful that insists every thought it has is a right enforced with their own violence. The extremists of the right wing are more militarized than the police and with a lot less cause. As are far lefties apparently. Everyone seems to have become infected with the virus of seeing themselves as so bloody important.
F the police. No cop is a good person . Sorry.
