On Nov. 12, 2019, at about 2:05 p.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies on patrol in the Garberville area attempted a routine traffic stop on Sprowel Creek Road for a vehicle code violation. The vehicle was also known by deputies to be associated with wanted felony warrant subject Robert Joseph Cullen.

The driver of the vehicle, 55-year-old Gregory Michael Benson, failed to yield and a pursuit ensued.

The pursuit continued on to Old Briceland Road. During the pursuit, the suspect vehicle collided with a county-owned dump truck near the 2600 block of Old Briceland Road. Following the collision, two males and one female fled from the scene on foot.

The female, 18-year-old Gabrielle Marie Jensen, was quickly apprehended by deputies. During a search of Jensen’s belongings, deputies located drug paraphernalia and narcotics.

Deputies initiated a ground search for the two males, one of which was confirmed to be Cullen. A California Highway Patrol aircraft and a Fish and Wildlife K9 Unit assisted in the search. During this search, deputies located Benson.

During a search of Benson’s vehicle, deputies located suspected methamphetamine and heroin.

It appears as though at least some of the community is talking. Let’s hope they keep talking and they catch him alive. I bet this pretty boy will squeal on his suppliers and accomplices if there is any hope of keeping his ass out of prison.
