Joshua Brandon Marcum On 09/02/2017 at 11:56 a.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Deputies assigned to the Garberville Station were dispatched to a motel located in the 800 block of Redwood Drive, Garberville, to investigate the report of Domestic Violence.

Upon arrival, Deputies determined that Joshua Brandon Marcum (age 29) was the aggressor in a Domestic Violence incident.

After Marcum was taken into custody, Deputies located approximately 59 grams of suspected methamphetamine in his possession. Marcum was additionally charged with possession of a controlled substance for sale – HS11378 and possession of a narcotic for sale – HS 11351.

Marcum was transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility where he was booked on the above charges. Due to Marcum’s parole status, he is ineligible for bail at this time.

These pictures and this story make me really curious! how much meth is that? An 8ball is two grams. An 8ball should be about a week’s worth for a daily user, but some people will slam that much in a day. Quality must affect usage rates. This man was arrested with 29.5 of these. Coincidentally, I noticed in Redway that lots of folks are actively high tonight. The gas station was alit with folks twitching and gyrating. Was this man their resource or was that his personal stash? How big is the supply right now? Who has it? How does it get here? Where does it come from?

Do enlighten me. And btw how do you know so much? Naaa, seriously though, I’m of the notion that an 8ball is four quarter grams. That’s two grams if my high school math is still with me after all these years. Am I misinformed??

1 ounce = 28.35 grams ÷ 8 = 3.54 grams. New math I guess.

“Twitching and gyrating”

Sounds more like they were having a religious experience or an epileptic seizure.

Another parolee out of prison still committing crimes, thanks to all you idiots who voted for the past propositions for criminal release. Let’s get them back on the next ballot, and be smart this time.

Kern County, 6 years! Enjoy!

There must be great drugs, terrific sex, and wonderful amenities in prison to make all these guys want to go back so badly…

“two to tango” as in “many sides” of the Charlottesville debacle? Where have I heard that BS before?

Besides not being able to leave, I would imagine jail would be a step up from the hotel he was found in. Three hot meals a day, color TV, books, board games a phone bank, free medical care including Dental why wouldn’t you want to go to jail? besides maybe Bubba.

I’m sure after Da Maggie is done with him it will all just be plea-bargain too drunk in public and he will be set free with no trouble whatsoever. But I would really like you Kym to follow up on this case to see how she does plea-bargain or is she going to step up and put a really bad person away.

Once you get into that system you are screwed. A bust like this is like a Safeway receipt: felony, felony,felony, enhancements, and sir your total today will be 10 years of your life. Thanks for acting like the fool. People with the IQ of a German Shepard being supervised by people with guns and power.

Just letting you all know who commented up above is that this piece of shit is still up to the same thing he hasn’t learned shit for he held a female friend that I know held against her will for like 5 days took her battery from her phone wouldnt let her contact anybody took her and placed her in a room for a couple of days and verbally abused her threatened and scare her ! The guy wants to be a pimp so he was trying to mentally break her …but I made threats of my own to him and kept demanding if he knew what was best to let her go and he did . But she was dropped off on the highway without her vehicle a brand new infinity q60 which he still has possession of …..the guy we speak of stays in lodi ca. But he still frequently visits the bay area …
