Benbow Home Invasion Suspect Arrested

On September 6, a home invasion was reported in the Meadow View Road area of Benbow. Armed individuals allegedly took cash and a gun. They also took the resident to another location in his own vehicle and left him. The resident was able to walk to a safe location and call law enforcement. [See here for that story.]

In the press release below, the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office states they found and arrested a man they believe to be one of the armed invaders. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any one described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:

Home invasion suspect

Micah Tafari Keyes-Anderson

On 09/27/2016, at approximately 11:40 a.m., a Humboldt County Sheriff’s Sergeant conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Redway resident, Micah Tafari Keyes-Anderson (age 23), in the 400 block of Briceland Road, Redway. Keyes-Anderson was subsequently placed under arrest for a domestic violence incident stemming from an altercation just prior to the traffic stop. Keyes-Anderson’s vehicle was searched and the stolen shotgun taken during the Meadow View Road home invasion was located. Through the investigation, Keyes-Anderson was positively identified as one of the home invaders.

On 10/6/2016, Sheriff’s Deputies obtained a Ramey Warrant for the arrest of Keyes-Anderson for armed robbery and kidnapping.

At approximately 2:30 p.m., Sheriff’s Deputies responded to an address in the 100 block of Orchard Lane, Redway, and took Keyes-Anderson into custody without incident.

Keyes-Anderson was transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility where he was booked on charges of PC 211 (robbery) and PC 207 (kidnapping). Keyes-Anderson’s bail was set at $200,000.

The Sheriff’s Office is continuing to follow up on leads as to the identities of the remaining outstanding suspects. Anyone with information for the Sheriff’s Office regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Sheriff’s Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriff’s Office Crime Tip line at 707-268-2539.

Imagine how lame it would be to get robbed by Micah. And how lame it feels to be potentially responsible. I assure you Kym is a little more responsible since my heckling. There are no safe spaces here.

There certainly aren’t since you can drive around Humboldt and see pot from the road everywhere, even on 101. Nobody needs a news site to find somewhere to rob. Just drive around or follow your nose.

If somebody craps on your front porch do you leave it?

I am not particularly offended by much of any kind of language, however, when the language becomes tedious and juvenile it distracts from the conversation. That is what is regrettable to me.

The good thing about your blog is that you have set rules and standards and you adhere to them. I think that you should apply the same standards about yourself. You are as good as anybody else on this blog.

When you report on other people it is the truth. Do you really think that it is true that you are a “bimbo”?

How can a person defend another’s honor who won’t defend themselves? I realize that the offending person probably used the term because it, cutely, rhymed, but come on, at least show some spunk. Dump that hair shirt! Do you think that your friends like seeing you called a bimbo?

Remind them why you are Citizen of the Year. Sweep the crap of the porch with your “hairshirt”.

Agreed kidnapping, having a stolen gun, home invasion, being a general p.o.s. there should be no bail period, if he bails out he is very dangerous to everyone, he knows he facing years

I find it strange the number of home invasions committed by dark skinned individuals seems high.

I have been watching your website for months now trying to find out if justice will prevail for my niece Faith. I’ve been up here in Humbolt many times over my years. My mother rode out the Great Depression up here in Red Crest. I spent months up here on vacation when I was a kid in Eureka, and working after the great flood of 1965. worked off and on through the 70s 80s in Eureka. Ran my VW onto the tracks drunk and cleared it in the Vista Del Mar parking lot. It became my favorite sleazy bar.
reading this stuff is just disgusting. people who need their asses kicked rule the streets. I was always reluctant to move to Eureka because it is a cancer cluster, but Fortuna was always cool and Ferndale was great. now I don’t even want to visit. It belongs to the shitheads and the people wait for the cops to solve the problem for them. Sad. I want it to go back to all you can eat at the Samoa Cookhouse for $2.50. Now it’s how much for a gram of meth?
