On 11/09/2016 at 11:48 am, officers of the Arcata Police Department responded to the report of a male subject who had just been stabbed in the neck in front of the Arcata Co-Op at 811 I Street. Witnesses on scene reported that the suspect, later identified as 32-year-old Justin Crumbley of Eureka, fled on foot, west from the business. Witnesses followed Crumbley to an office building at 890 L Street where he entered the business and hid.

These efforts were unsuccessful and Arcata Police K-9 “Baron” responded to the scene. A small team featuring “Baron” entered the building and placed the suspect into custody without further incident for P.C. 245(a)(1) – Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
The victim, a 64-year-old Eureka man, is being treated for his injuries but is in stable condition.

If we have police that believe in protect and to serv ,but I totally agree with jungle girl .live born raised in Humboldt County. And for the first time here lately . With All the murders home invasion tweekers synonymously speaking of zombies in real life I feel I should be packing a weapon especially in puke reaka .
What does “helps capture” mean?
How in the F is “Stabbing someone in the neck” considered “assault with a deadly weapon” Instead of “Attempted murder”???
