The Humboldt County Drug Task Force is serving a warrant on a home on Orchard Lane in Fortuna this morning, confirmed Sgt. Jesse Taylor.

“We served a search warrant looking for narcotics,” Taylor said.

A neighbor reported that many officers came in a brown van and brought a battering ram to the door. But Taylor explained the ram wasn’t used. “Typically we bring a ram up with us to the door,” he said. But it is only used if the door is not opened. “Today the guy came to the door,” Taylor said.

Taylor explained that the Drug Task Force (which consists of multiple agencies) was at the residence “based on citizen’s complaint for lots of traffic.”

“We had one guy detained,”  Taylor said. But he has left the scene and is unaware whether narcotics had been found or if the man was arrested.

Well that seem like a lot of show for what seems like no results.

I wasn’t aware that you had been briefed by authorities and know what results came of the raid.
You must be special.
Drug dealers off the street and out of neighborhoods seems like good initiatives to me. And, one at a time is usually how it goes (dealers don’t usually all congregate in one place).

Are you for or against illegal drugs?
BTW: this isn’t an immigrant problem, this is American born and bred.

You do know 90% of heroin is brought in from across our border by illegal immigrants. So yes it is an immigration problem even if it is joebob selling it to the local junkies

If you don’t trust the Washington Post or the CDC, how about the DEA?

yet it comes right thru the border crossings according to the data. its the demand that brings it here. and the brothels that lasted in the 90s in Eureka is why we have such a long time local problem.

filling a hole from abuse with hard drugs and eventually becoming chemically addicted and addiction that has been handed down genetically leading to chemical addiction are very different, but both harm everyone around you that loves you. I have been on both sides of this.

If HCSO gets a BearCat, I suggest the DTF gets A1A, AC 130, and half dozen Armored Assault Bulldozers….

Give them that and force them to prove the budget on the gear in convictions.

Talk about raising property values…

Gear them out, make them eat crayons, and we’ll have a place to raise children.
