Deputies Arrest Associate of Homicide Suspect Zach Harrison; Harrison Escapes into ‘Heavily Wooded Area’

This is a press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office:

Sheriff’s Deputies are in Alderpoint today continuing the search for homicide suspect Zachary Harrison.

In the afternoon of April 4, 2018, sheriff’s deputies investigating the whereabouts of Harrison in the Rancho Sequoia area made contact with 30-year-old Chadwick Leland Allender, a known associate of Harrison. Allender was arrested on a felony warrant out of Trinity County for failure to appear in court. While taking Allender into custody, deputies observed Harrison nearby. Deputies attempted to make contact with Harrison, who then fled into a heavily wooded area.

K9 officers with the Eureka and Fortuna Police Departments responded to assist deputies in the search. Law enforcement searched throughout the night, but were unable to locate Harrison.

Sheriff’s deputies remain in the area, with more resources en-route to continue searching today. In the coming week, the Sheriff’s Office will be reaching out to federal partners for assistance in apprehending Harrison.

The Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the community of Alderpoint for their patience and assistance providing numerous tips as to the whereabouts of Harrison. Rancho Sequoia residents are asked to take caution as Harrison remains on the run in the area.

Anyone with information regarding Harrison’s whereabouts is encouraged to call the Sheriff’s Office at (707) 445-7251 or the Sheriff’s Office Crime Tip line at (707) 268-2539.

This is the same guy everyone knows who stole from the Zenia School, and most likely other crimes. A search warrant would probably find a bunch of quarters. Hope they keep him in jail and do some very thorough investigation, otherwise he’ll run just like Zach. If he is the same guy in the camera pic, send him to prison. No questions asked!!

He’s also beat his girlfriend on the head with a metal bottle. Lets not forget the employee, working an hourly job, he almost beat to death in Garberville. That person still suffers from those injuries, all for just doing his job. oh wait let’s also not forget, hes also the only loser who ever stabbed someone outside of the Mateel.

To those who want to justify his murder…..you are enablers who helped your friend to this path with your hard drug use, good job friends! There ‘re empty seats next to Zachs, waiting for you all in hell!

So go ahead Netflix, glorify a woman beating, murderering, loser! Y’all must be hard up for an actual good story

They can’t tell you cause they made uop the part about seeing him.
And what part of Rancho is NOT a heavily wooded area?
When I heard the SO on the scanner, they were in the area of lower Willow rd, where it ends. Just above the ranch house at the far end of Steelhead road.

This is getting ridiculous, obviously he is getting help from the rest of the drug dealing, low life criminals in the area. Southern Humboldt, hell all of Humboldt, has really gone to the dogs when you have a murder suspect being helped by local criminals in eluding the police.

Sad where we have gone from what was once a great place to raise a family. Drug culture has ripped apart this community and allowed this element and attitude to invade.

Wake up people, marijuana is partly to blame there is no way around it. Partly to blame, not totally to blame.

Do something, turn this guy in, clean up your grows, be responsible and respectful to those around you. Neighbors, community and others all need the healthy culture back.

I think you mean the prohibition of cannabis is partly to blame. The black market is what drove many questionable characters into that industry. If it was totally legal nationwide most these people would never be able to thrive in that environment. The get rich quick conmen would have to look in another direction. People could have easier access to more affordable product and much time and resources could be saved in law enforcement.

Where are you from? How long have you been here in the emerald-green? We didn’t have to deal with all of these devastating problems when it was straight “black market”. Your “friends” who visited you would travel, chill for dinner, talk about life, & enjoy the truly good work you have harvested. Not murder, mayhem, & sraight a brutal environment to be in & live in.

I’ve been here 30 years. These devastating problems were inevitable. I saw it coming from way before it became as prevalent as today. When you have something this lucrative, you can only keep it secret for so long. Then basic laws of supply and demand start to kick in and just like life itself the industry can change before your very eyes.

Wish that were true but several families can attest to otherwise, as with the death of Kathy Davis in the 80’s for not having the crop the rip-offs were looking for. Black markets will always draw these problems, they are just concentrated here now because of our “world-renowned” status.

Gunfire up the hill at our place between 7 and 7:15 pm. Sounded like only one weapon, some fire pretty quick. We are on the east side of Alderpoint, and it’s difficult to see how this is connected to Zach – and yet it’s raining, why would anyone be firing guns. Tim’s old place seems to be the source.

7:22 More gunfire, this time some really rapid fire, and some single shots. Usually gun fire here is from the bridge, but this sounds more like its inland.

7:30 it’s at Tim’s , got confirmation of direction from two other observers. Calling 911. Tim sold to someone else but old timers know where that is. Driveway comes out by the fire dept.

7:36 911 says mulltiple reports of this gunfire, “I’ll let the deputy know” No shots for almost 10 minutes.

Losers get caught. If this guy keeps being able to successfully allude law enforcement I have to at least give him props for that. May not agree with another single thing he has ever done, but not many can keep escaping over an extended period of time.

My measure of a man is being successful at what you out your mind to. This guy obviously doesn’t want to get caught so clearly so far he is winning that game. Not saying I support what he is accused of doing, just saying that he is having surprising success so far in alluding capture. He is playing a dangerous game and the consequences might be him not making it out alive. I won’t shed a tear for him then, but in the mean time I will recognize he is one leg up in this little game of cat and mouse.

As long as he continues to avoid capture he is winning in his mind. Not really my job to judge him, thats what a jury of his peers is for. If people feel that this man is truly too dangerous to have around then maybe some will turn on him, but it’s not their duty to do so. In the meantime he is successfully managing to thwart the efforts of law enforcement. Never said I was on this guy’s side, just stating my neutral observations. Most criminals are way too stupid to not get caught. This guy is proving to be an exception so far, and for that I am simply recognizing his efforts.

broseph, you do know that values are subjective, not some absolute thing. I am glad your mind is boggled because sometimes it is good to become aware that there are others out there that view the world through a different lens than you. Some people out there might not care to be involved with family and community. I believe that if you have offspring you should definitely care for them, but choosing not to be part of family or community is a perfectly fine decision for any autonomous being. I have the ability to be impressed with specific parts of something I would otherwise despise as a whole. Perhaps I am different in this regard. As far as my “romanticism” of this guy, I think you are confusing me with another poster on here. If you go back and read you will realize that I am not the one that game up with any cute nickname for this guy.

Well if you consider logic based argument and interacting with civil decency to be signs of brightness, then yes I will go along with that, but you will have to tell me how you define loser before I will agree to that… And I am probably much more grown than you would guess.

From the information I read in that press release I doubt they have enough evidence for a charge like that. Harrison was spotted “nearby”. In Allender’s residence would be a different story.

Cannabis is not a factor here it’s blunt murder drugs, whip it’s, and whatever else Zach got addicted too don’t blame Napa for all the drunk drivers but your sure to blame Blocksburg or Alderpoint for weed wow he needs to turn himself in this is going too far he has been a huge problem stealing gas and whatever else he finds stay alert and help stop this murderer

His sister previously stated that is was a financial dispute. But I guess we could always get Zach’s side of the story if he would stop running. What insight do you have into his reasonings for that?
I don’t think any of us see that happening any time soon however. So, do tell. What exactly was the real reason?

This story has been told already. The ending is predestined. Do you feel it? You should because it is real at an existential level. It’s as real as it gets. Hell is real and we bear witness. These are the essential tremors caused by the shifting plates of order and chaos as a story as old as man plays out before our eyes. The lost boys are real and by all accounts the transformation appears complete. Soon I fear that father and son will be reunited. There will be no hope of rescue, transcendence, or redemption. Not for the actors. Maybe, just maybe there will be transformation for the area. Perhaps the pendulum will swing. It does have that feeling. Do you feel it?

I’m so sick of reading how Zack is a child of circumstance.. Really everyome has a choice to make in life and he just keeps picking the wrong one.. He loves with family out of AP but wanted to come back and live at the REZ… SERIOUSLY bottom line he shot someone.. Its sad that AP has turned out the way it has.. Really the shit heads ain’t locals and the only reason they have family here is because they keep coming up here…. Go the Fuck home..
