This is a press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:

A Rio Dell man is in custody after leading sheriff’s deputiTavin Dee Evanses on a high speed pursuit.

Around 3:15 p.m. on Dec. 24, 2017, a Humboldt County sheriff’s deputy was patrolling the Eel River Valley near Loleta when he attempted to make a traffic stop on a motorcyclist on Brenard Rd. The driver, later identified as 20-year-old Tavin Dee Evans of Rio Dell, failed to stop the motorcycle, attempting to flee from the deputy. The deputy pursued Evans onto Highway 101, where the pursuit continued at a high rate of speed.

As Evans approached the Fortuna area, officers with the Fortuna Police Department were called to assist. Evans exited the highway at the Kenmar Rd. off ramp and Fortuna Police officers took over the pursuit. Deputies then received a report that Evans turned down an off-road hiking path behind the Fortuna River Lodge. Sheriff’s deputies positioned themselves at the trail exit near Highway 36 and Sandy Prairie Rd.

Deputies then spotted Evans driving the motorcycle along the Eel River river bar. A deputy responded to the river bar to contact Evans. Upon seeing the deputy, Evans drove his motorcycle off of an embankment and continued to flee on foot. The sheriff’s deputy pursued and took Evans into custody.

Evans was on probation for vehicle theft and for carrying a concealed firearm. During a search of Evans, deputies found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. He was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on the following charges: felony evading a peace officer, obstructing or resisting a peace officer, possession of a controlled substance, violation of probation and driving a motorcycle without a motorcycle endorsement.

So sad to see these adults that use to be sweet kids choose drugs over a productive life. Hopefully he wants help and gets it.
Prayers for his Mom and Grandmother.

Another junkie at Bear River. I’ve counted six apprehensions in 6 weeks at Bear River housing. The Tribe should put some of their casino profits to pay for a sheriff to patrol the area at least 10 times daily and instruct their staff to evict people if they are involved in the meth trade.

No they don’t, and the tribe isn’t too friendly to law enforcement generally so I doubt they’d form a tribal department.

Too bad about the meth and firearm. He almost had me rooting for him. Yes I’m a fan of Dukes of Hazzard and I don’t think running from cops is in itself a bad thing- just get away with it!

It’s tough to believe that he didn’t ditch the drugs and paraphernalia during such a long chase.

A. He’s really stupid.
B. He’s really cocky.
C. He’s really broke and/or addicted.
D. They were planted.

I’m rooting for the officers. It seems like they did a great job, but option D should still be considered for complete transparency.

Close the tweek party down between 2am and 6am. A lot less crap would be happening. Every 24° casino is fraught with ZOMBIES after midnight!!!

The area he was in is just down the hill from the 24° debachale.

Care about the community casinos?
Give everyone some rest, sleep is essential! Shut em down at prime tweek time! <3

The Indians have got it made Free Housing free everything dope it’s a constant party. Lot of crime going on up there. People in charge of the housing are supposed to negate drug use that clearly is not happening. But I’m sure this comment will be deleted.

Steve, inheriting $ from your rich klansman father doesn’t constitute “work”. (Oh wait, that’s Putin’s Puppet “President”.)

No not relevant enough. Just general, not very clever spew.
