According to several residents of Alderpoint, the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department and their bomb squad are at a residence in Alderpoint on Alderpoint Road just past the Alderpoint Store. One person was arrested and a robot was deployed to set off a bomb.

Sgt. Jesse Taylor of the Sheriff’s Department confirmed that his men were at a residence in the area. He said, “EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) is currently on scene after a pipe bomb was discovered on a property. It was found during the probation search and arrest of Terra Gibson. In addition to the pipe bomb, several guns, lots of ammo and 10+ pounds of marijuana was located.”

Sheriff’s deputies showed up in the Alderpoint area in the early afternoon, according to one resident. Then a couple hours later they went to the residence located in Alderpoint that was near the store. They detained one man.

“The bomb squad showed up around 7:30,” one resident told us. They deployed a robot about 8:50 p.m., she said. Then they exploded the pipe bomb.

Homemade silencers, a rusty sawed-off double barrel (minus the rest of the gun) and M7A1 grenades (without a launcher).

That’s AP for ya.

Is this for REAL..? As if local resources weren’t already strained in this new Wild, Wild West shit show. Now law enforcement has to bring robots to deal with AP delinquency? That poor town continues to go downhill because of all these individuals who don’t give a flying F, for the citizens of that town. They should ship those derelicts to go work for Caltrans and clean up the roads, streams and illegal chemical dumps. That way they won’t have all this time to waste on making pipe bombs. Incredibly SAD for Alderpoint, a once beautiful town with great caring people. No more..

Seems marijuana is always found at the scene of the crime. Real epidemic around here. 😁

MJ helps being them down from the meth-induced paranoia that makes them shack up in compounds in the first place.

Just the tip of the criminal iceberg. Been to Hayfork lately? Or Willow Creek or Orick? Shelter Cove? Is this Alabama? It’s Humboldt County’s cold war. We live in a potentially violent community.

So tjat .30 cal may be salvageable but the rest of that collection is trash that I would not fire. This is what happens when you let a tweeker play gunsmith

It’s not a 12 gauge but if you’re trying to spot interesting gunsmithing look how he attached his “suppressor” to his semi auto pistol above it. I would like to see him fire that one, if it wasn’t interesting it would at least prove difficult to reload.

Appears the .22 pistol with the ‘silencer’ is a Colt Woodsman. Collectors item.
Lever action rifle… (if a 1892 Winchester)… is a collectors item

Collectors item = $$$

Rifle at the bottom is a Thompson Center break-open
.50 cal muzzle-loader. Explains why he had the black power to build a pipe-bomb.

Noticed the .50 cal rounds… wonder if he had a .50 BMG rifle that was hidden. Dunno.

Please don’t stop there! Do probation searches on every active probation in AP area. Catch the damn Casterlin school thieves. Also the murderer Zach Harrison who is boldly walking around Alderpoint like he doesn’t have a care in the world If we don’t they will only feel imboldened to steal more and more. What’s next our little church. Anyone who would steal from children has a special place in hell. Start behind the old Legion hall and continue to the Rez! Shake the tweeters out of their holes and maybe we can take our damn town back.

Deano gives less than a damn. The property is nothing but garbage and dead vehicles, a complete eyesore. The property is so full of garbage that Terra’s customers park out in the road when they’re picking up their drugs. Thanks Deano, “Mayor of Alderpoint”. What a fucking joke.

We both know that “Deano” is really not the official mayor of AP. Most long time AP residents know who really is mayor and has been since ‘97.

I’ll say it again, the reason criminals continue to run rampit all over Humboldt is there not being held accountable for their actions nobody backs what they say to make them pay for their crimes not the cops, no one!!! And it’s really sad that it’s local people that are our worst criminals and stealing from our children!!! Let them Try to Rob our church I promise you they will be held accountable one way or another for robbing from kids and their own friends and family what kind of piece of shit really does that???!!!

The criminals aren’t following the strict CA gun laws to ban most anything?
I wonder if the owners of this stuff were released from prison early by one of the stupid CA liberal utopia releases of thousands of criminal trash into the population?
