At approximately 10:11 last night, a Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputy observed a vehicle missing a tail light in the area of Central Avenue and School Road in McKinleyville, according to Samantha Karges, spokesperson for the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department.

The deputy then discovered that both of the occupants were driving on suspended drivers licenses, Karges explained. One, David Lee Conoboy, age 47 37, had four misdemeanor warrants for his arrest.

“During a search, 22 pounds and 12 oz. of dried marijuana was discovered,” Karges said. “Conoboy was arrested on his warrants and arrested on possessing more than an ounce [of marijuana].”

“The other person was cited for driving with a suspended license and released,” Karges noted.Marijuana found in vehicle

They were subconsciously asking to be apprehended. Expired CDLs, broken tail light, outstanding warrants – these are symptoms of a cry for help. Here’s hoping they get it.

I love the way that they always give the cops a reason to stop them, tail lights out, broken windshield, missing license plates etc. Guess it shows how smart they really are.

A truly amazing story! The news items from Arcata, recently, indicate that human intelligence has failed to evolve for yet another generation…

The shocking stupidity, the vacuous negligence, these people didn’t even TRY to avoid arrest!

Four outstanding warrants, a suspended license, a burned out bulb…

Hell, two burned out bulbs! And what else? Oh. 22 pounds of weed. Well.

No surprise there…

WHAT do we have to do, to keep these folks from wasting the time of the LEO’s?

Let’s see, how about special dispensation to drive without a license, while transporting, heck, all the weed you want, and, since you are such a good citizen, a brand new car! AND, discretionary freedom from obeying ANY law you don’t like!! THEN could you stay off the radar?

It has been a very slow learning curve for some folks, eh?
If you are transporting drugs, have a valid license, current tags & make sure your lights all work, m’kay?

It has been nearly four decades since I learned the “basics” in transportation.
1 – Everything outside the car works and looks clean.
2 – All the legal papers for the car and driver, who should be as clean cut as possible.
3 – Nothing that can be seen or smelled from the outside, looking in.
4 – Packaging is everything. It can’t look like anything Cops would be interested in.
5 – Drive like a Church Mom, turn signals, speed limit, all the good manners. Pretend the cops are riding with you.
6 – “Act Normal”
This last one was the most difficult – there was (and is) very little about me that might be considered “normal” on close inspection.
Now, if I could learn it and remember it for all these years, it seems to me it must be fairly common knowledge and not that hard to forget. If those photographs are of the load they carried I can tell you they haven’t learned a thing!

This guy was arrested on several different charges Dec. 27 and Jan. 5. Charges ranged from criminal trespass to assault to attempted murder. How was this guy out on the streets so soon?? Good time for our courts to prove they are tired of pos like this repeating their crimes. keep him jail this time!

Anyone thinking of growing today? Anyone thinking of cracking a shot at your green thumb? FORGET IT!
Use this mug shot as a lesson. See that expression? That’s what it feels like to grow, anything beyond personal use, today! Go back to school, learn a trade & maybe get a job as a scientist, at one of these New legal establishments!

That has to be the most depressing, sad, and useless 22 lbs of “processed marijuana” ever seized in Humboldt. This sounds like a Sheriff press release out of Arkansas, they should throw in a street value estimate of $88,000 to seal the deal. Smh

Second occupant, conveniently not named, was the driver and released on site with only a traffic ticket. He had narced and it was a setup.

Legal weed!!! Yes!!! Here come the dipshits outta the woodwork! That is definitely weed from a dumpster. Cause AAA is so cheap a guy would need to throw those away to make room for the hundreds of fresh ones they can’t sell.
