Inmate Threatened to Use Sharpened Spork on Jail Staff, According to the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office

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:

Joe Olivo

On August 11, 2018, a correctional deputy working in the Humboldt County Correctional Facility received information that an inmate was possibly in possession of a weapon in their cell and had made threats to use the weapon on staff.

Due to the serious nature of the information, several correctional deputies stayed after their twelve-hour shift to help conduct a search of the unit where the weapon was allegedly hidden. By staying past their shift, the correctional deputies allowed normal jail functions to continue while this critical search took place.

Correctional deputies searched the entire unit and located a sharpened jail-issued spork in the cell of 20-year-old Joe Olivo III. The weapon was removed and Olivo was booked on additional charges of possession of a deadly weapon by a prisoner. Olivio is currently in the Humboldt County Correctional Facility awaiting trial on suspicion of murder, among other charges.

He was defending his mustache. And, once they’re sharpened they’re called a spoknifk.

This is the kind of behavior that gives the Spork a bad rap.

Threatening jail employees is no joke. This loser is going to have a life behind bars that will endlessly cost everyone else.

Persons who insist upon endangering the guards and other jail and prison staff should immediately be sent to Pelican Bay and locked down until they are feeling more docile.

After some time, he can take all the classes and then go to UC Berkeley to study law…

He likes to project himself as a victim of his fathers gangbanging and the lifestyle involved. He manipulates people into seeing him as a poor lil fella who had a rotten deal in life. Don’t let him fool ya folks. Cold blooded killer.

it sounds like he is a product of his environment and you blame the kid who has no control over his environment. and you wonder why Eureka/McK have such a massive problem.

Wrong. He is a game player. He killed someone. Not everyone who has a shit background kills people. His father was out of the picture for majority of his life. I dont wonder anything about eureka. I know we live in a society where people consistently make poor choices. Even when given better options. And there are others who don’t believe in accountability. Where do you find yourself local?
