And another one bites the dust…but will he stay in custody? Place your bets!
I can’t find the law on “false compartments” except one used in the commission of a crime. But are they illegal in and of themselves?
“Use of a false compartment in a vehicle”? Hadn’t heard that law before. Those cops think of everything!
I try to avoid being profiled, but I guess i’d better not hide my tie dye clothes like that anymore when I am motoring the highways to The City anymore!
The laws are made in Sacramento. But it does sound something that is not going to survive the first constitutional challenge if anyone us charge for having an empty “concealed compartment.”
Yeah. I thought about that. The laws are made by Legislators, yet ones like that no doubt come through law enforcement channels, making the request, if not their lobby actually writing the language.
I had to “google” that one. Found that many states have laws that prohibit the use of secret compartments in vehicles if you are using them to transport illegal things.
That puts Humboldt (Eureka,Fortuna) at a little over 25lbs of heroin since the first of the year!!!!! you go Chump you will wish for the day weed was your only bitch!!!!Holy shit you guys!!Keep up the good work Sheriff!!!!!!The RATS will roll over.
So is he going to be deported? You know he will be released, cause most drug dealers and murders are released.
Great job by our hard-working LE!!!
Throw the book at him.
AWESOME AWESOME WAY TO GO DTF KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK .slowly but Shirley keep whittling away this problem ,and eventually it won’t be any need, for needle kiosk all over eureka,and the junkies will have to clean up, or go someplace else were they can get the dope supply .But we all know he is out already on the street .no bail amount ?
.
Sorry,had to…
Ha!! Best comment de jour!
He’s so young! Dude needs to be in college or in an apprentice training program learning a marketable trade.
So does half the shit big Pharma pumps out, they just have a more powerful lobby than the drug cartels.
The DA’s office has sniffer dogs? How does that work? I know the DA has investigative personnel, but are they just another flavor of cops?
We need Track-&-Trace on the H so they can be charged with murder and pay taxes.
Makes you realize how much of an effect they could of had on this issue YEARS ago… pot goes legal and they lose their forfeiture cash cow. Better late than never Leo
Build the wall. And throw him over. See if he can fly.
This is what legalization of cannabis looks like, notice the amounts are increasing? Me too and it’s not even gotten started yet…. we’re a country of dopes.
Meenwhile everyone is still watching the clown cheesepuff on stage while our country get ruined by opiates the CIA is supplying

Is he legal? Was he arrested in a sanctuary city? I guess he was as Humboldt County is in California.
Let’s declare Jerry Brown’s house the only “sanctuary” area in California!!!

And he pleaded not guilty
