DirksenOn 08/06/2017, detectives with the Port Hueneme Police Department (PHPD) contacted the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) and requested assistance. PHPD detectives were working on a homicide investigation that occurred within their jurisdiction.

IF I were wanted for murder and I had stupid face tats, I would not be walking around in public. I would be hiding deep, deep, deep in the hills. But then I do not think like these folks because I do not get stupid face tats and do not kill people. Good job LEO’s I am glad we have a regular patrol in So Hum now.

Wow. I suppose the cops didn’t have to run fingerprints on this idiot.
Face tat of a domino with 3 and 7 dots? Check. Face tat of a domino with 1 and 3 dots? Check. Face tat with some dumb ass crown thing on other side of face? Check. Obligatory neck tat that indicates dumbass? Check. Wearing two t shirts at a time? Check. Book him Dano.

Throw the book at this piece of white trash with his murderous tattoos and nasty aura. This guy is symbolic of the trash which runs amok in the “deep north” of California. Hope they lock this abuser and murderer up and lose the key. Let the backwoods whitetrash rot in jail hell…. Never a supporter of capital punishment, it is way better to see these thugs rot and die on death row than be executed.
