Sharon Patrice EricksonOn Wednesday, June 21, 2017 at about 0007 hours, a Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Deputy was on routine patrol in the area of School Road and Central Avenue, McKinleyville. The Deputy observed a vehicle with an unreadable rear license plate and attempted a traffic stop. The vehicle initially failed to yield to the Deputy’s lights and sirens. The vehicle eventually pulled to the side of the road after the Deputy followed it for about one mile. As the Deputy approached the vehicle, driver Sharon Patrice Erickson, age 47 of McKinleyville was contacted. A strong smell of marijuana was detected coming from inside the vehicle. It was determined Erickson was on formal probation and was driving on a suspended license. A search of Erickson’s vehicle was conducted per her probation terms. 108 pounds of marijuana and a hand held scale was located.

Erickson was later booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility (HCCF) for obstructing or delaying a peace officer, possession of marijuana, driving on a suspended license, failure to provide proof of insurance, failure to have required lighting equipment and violation of probation. Erickson is being held without bail.

School is crucial to a jury to begin with..

106 pounds of alleged marijuana?

It’s possible this is medicinal, as dopers use an ounce or more each week.

This young lady needs help, should turn in grows, get training to strive for the side door job in helicopter advances.

Growers are like weeds, some need hand pulling, some need irrigation removed, some need herbicide.

She can turn things around and map out grow bunkers, grow supply lines, & restore school bus service to grower held zones.

I’m glad she can confess, and correct her wrong doings.

Young lady? She’s 47. Another reminder to make sure your vehicle is in full compliance with the law before transporting large quantities of weed…

Sadly he is Dead Serious, I’m not sure exactly WTF his problem is with Cannabis but his Mother was obviously frightened by a screening of “Reefer Madness” the original version that is!!! The remake was a bit too much tongue in cheek to be taken seriously much at all!!!

Chump sounded like a pig who is afraid of everything he never did; I say “sounded” because I used to read his trash comments but not anymore. Just a tread on you and me type punk and not worth following.

Wow, great story. “I am traveling incognito, (obscured plate) after midnight with equipment violations (no tail-lights) and with my bud in, what, garbage bags or open bins? Just thrown loose in the back? I have no license to drive and I am on probation and obviously not real intelligent.”

Yikes! Think you were being watched much?

“Why would I get pulled over, they can’t tell who I am!”

Drugs, children, will do SO much for you. And you will get rich from them!!! Your attorney will too!

Thanks for your participation. Here’s your ticket. 15 minutes in jail, cause you were naughty! Oh and we’re keeping the dope…
