McKinleyville Man Attacked Housemate with Gardening Shears, Says Sheriff’s Office

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:

On Aug. 29, 2018, at about 1:30 p.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the 1600 block of Bird Ave. for the report of a physical altercation between two housemates.

Upon arrival, deputies learned that the suspect, 37-year-old Thomas Earl Shriver of McKinleyville, attacked a 42-year-old male victim with gardening shears following an argument. The victim sustained non-life threatening injuries to his hands and arms, and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

Shriver was taken into custody on scene without incident and was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on charges of assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm.

UPDATE: The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office responded to questions about rumors about the health of the victim by stating,”Our deputy went back to the residence to check on the victim. He is alive and well at home. I’m not sure where all of those rumors started, but they are not true.”

my “friend” took some bad dope from another tweaker while I was out in court for evading the police and ditching them in the woods,

that said tweaker told my friend; thought, I had been spiking his food with wierd drugs ive never even heard of.

We had a deal about him living with me and tweaking out and then abusing leo.

So I as promised Flushed ALL of the meth the herion and all manners of pills down the toilet. Then He went nutz and attacked me after taking some bad dope.

I used kungfu to difuse the inncident but what you all dont know. Is this guy turned the blade onto himself while my hands were on the blade and tried to run himself through once he realized I was being protective.

I had to change my grip to prevent this and for that split second he took advantage of my change of grip and tried to chop my hand off, this all happened very fast with in 2 seconds tops.

Now Hes twacked out. I have years of kungfu training and meditation to curb my scitzophrena. And I have super high pain tolorance.

He tried to stab me and do all sorts of crap while the other tweakers aka “marc goldman, and willie Jamerson(also the guy who gave drugs to my friend) stood idly by and watched us fight while I dealt with a twacked out suicidal “friend I loved”, and I called to them for help.

I got none while those assholes watched me have a life and death stugggle.

After all that went down, I never respected any tweakers, Or my housemates or anybody who does any sort of drugs, again. I dont give any fucks any more after this, and I just assume to bash a sub humans head in and do jail time for self defense. Minimum 5 years.

Cops round these parts commit murders themselves, let alone rarely solve them.

If you drink alcohol i can tolorate a mean drunk. If you smoke weed, heck pass the bong. but if you do dope, meth, cocain, cadamine, herion, or shit ive never heard of. Exspect me to treat you like you are a piece of subhuman garbage. It will appear that im racist but im not. I just hate human garbage and people who affect the lives of children for the worse and turn them into more tweakers. Im high STRUNG not on drugs! I should be on drugs. But what is life, but a struggle to refine your inner self.

The victim is recovering at home. I’ve updated the post to reflect this response to questions from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office:

“Our deputy went back to the residence to check on the victim. He is alive and well at home. I’m not sure where all of those rumors started, but they are not true.”

This is Leon R Peel. It is true the sheriff did check on me several times after the incident. I was pretty upset but that seemed to calm me down and let me trust the police a bit more.

I am so flatterd people left all these comments. Unfortunately most of them are from people I know and are negative.

Tweakers who do drugs and have sex parties in front of small children. Thats why I get upset, and make these tweakers look like idiots.

[edit] is also a tweaker, of many years. Why do I hang out with tweakers. Am I a tweaker?

The answers are. I just had a bad idea of what “friends” are. and 2. Being an intro vert computer nerd does atrophede your social skills.

However I have over come these problems and realized tweakers, [edit] are just sub humans. And unless any of them make good on thier death threats to me from thier “gangs” They are just bits of trash in the wind, and I dont pay them no mind.

I do the things I do for a reason. Its because people are sucked into thier phones and cannot think for themselves..
