A man wanted after fleeing from deputies Tuesday, July 17, was taken into custody Friday without incident.

On July 17, 2018, at about 10:30 a.m., a Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputy on patrol in the area of Highway 101 and Giuntoli Lane observed a vehicle with expired registration and a non-functioning brake light traveling north on Highway 101. When the deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle, the driver, later identified as 41-year-old Leon Rockwell Peel of McKinleyville, failed to pull over, leading the deputy on an approximately one-mile pursuit through McKinleyville. The vehicle yielded in the parking lot of a shopping center on the 1500 block of Anna Sparks Way.

Peel refused to provide the deputy with identification, vehicle registration or proof of insurance. When the deputy requested Peel step out of the vehicle, Peel then fled in the vehicle through several neighborhoods. With help from community members, deputies located the vehicle on Ocean Ave. near the Hammond Trail. Upon deputies’ arrival, Peel fled on foot into a nearby wooded area. Deputies were unable to locate Peel in the wooded area.

So Police, fleeing from who knows what, arrested someone named Friday, and now this man is sought?

This begs the question… Who is Friday, anyway?

Lol, right now the courts declared me legally insane, I do suffer from schitzophrena, and I do all I can to make things whacky. Like looney toons. I figure I can have my outlet, cops can do thier jobs. I mean no harm, and it looks like I turned into the towns nutcase, what else IS there to do when I feel like any job I take on is a waste on the machine. Ive only recently come to understand the rules of society. Before that I was usually in a box and somebody cared for me because I have some nifty skillz people like to exploit. So seeing this online and in the news flatterd me and bolsterd my inner confinance in myself as a human. Thats all I truly ever wanted.

To the people who call me crazy. I both care and dont care what you think.
