Firearms, Drugs, and Body Armor Found at Felon’s Residence, According to DTF
This is a press release from the Humboldt County Drug Task Force. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:
On October 11, 2018, at approximately 1:20 p.m., Special Agents with the Humboldt County Drug Task Force, with the assistance of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, served a search warrant at a residence located in the 600 block of 16th Street, Eureka. In addition to numerous complaints of suspected drug activity at this residence, agents previously received information that Thomas William Strader Jr (age 46) was involved in narcotics distribution.
Upon arrival agents observed Strader exit his residence and enter an awaiting vehicle. The vehicle proceeded N/B on G Street where a Sheriff’s Deputy conducted a traffic stop in the 900 block of G Street. Strader was detained without incident and was found to be in possession of approximately two grams of suspected cocaine. Strader also had two outstanding warrants for his arrest and was taken into custody.
Agents then served the warrant at Strader’s residence and located the following items: two firearms, miscellaneous ammunition, body armor, several pounds of marijuana, digital scales, packaging material, a small amount of suspected methamphetamine, and other drug paraphernalia. Also located was equipment and butane that is used for BHO extraction.
Strader is a previously convicted felon which prohibits him from owning firearms and body armor. Strader was subsequently transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility where he was booked on his warrants and the following charges:
PC 31360 Felon in possession of body armor
PC 11379.6 Possession of hash lab components
PC 11377(a) Possession of a controlled substance
PC 30301(a) Felon in possession of ammunition
PC 1203.2 Violation of probation
Strader’s bail was set at $500,000.

No mention of the Badge???!!! One wonders if it was real & if so where he got it!!!???
The badge just says security officer. You can buy those on the internet.
Where the firearms stolen? If so why didn’t the owner use a gun safe?
Well how would we know. stupid question
That’s a $4 badge available on eBay.
corrupt
No victim? No crime.
An unjust law or an unconstitutional law is no law at all and is to be considered null and void. It is every man’s duty to abolish all unconstitutional and unjust laws. An informed jury is liberty’s last defense.
If he hurt another’s right to life, liberty or pursuit of happiness, lock him up.
PC 31360 Felon in possession of body armor
WTF I feel this is wrong. if you are a felon you arent supposed to be able to defend yourself with a firearm, so why cant you try to defend yourself with body armor while you run away
Those two meager bags constitute several pounds of ganga? Haaa-aaaahahahha
The usual SoHum survival package.
I don’t see a pawn shop crossbow or a mallninja Klingon dagger.
Is Eureka Sohum now?
A felon with a gun is a crime.
As a convicted felon I wish there was a process to being able to legitimately own a gun. I was convicted in my twenties and never been in teiuble again. Now I homestead, there must be a way…
I think it’s possible in some cases. An internet search would be a good place to start. Good luck. Nonviolent offenders should be able to regain the right.
Only if you’re convicted of a wobbler.

Control of the people is why everyone is becoming a ‘felon’ of some sort or another. https://kottke.org/13/06/you-commit-three-felonies-a-day
They’re supposed to work for us, not us for the them.
Time to reform the system.
The best thing for you to do and the only way to get factual answers to your question would be to ask a reputable attorney who specializes in California firearm laws and/or felony expungements. Count on it costing a couple hundred bucks just to ask a couple questions but you will get the facts.
the only thing you can do is write to the governor and ask for a pardon. you can ask for a pardon after ten years after you are done with all your sentencing and if you dont have any new crimes
Black powder revolvers seem to be a felon alternative, consult with a lawyer first regarding your case and limitations.
Saw a felon with one get it back from ATF, sadly.
Has anyone else ever seen a movie called
”Hobo With A Shot Gun”? It is a must ….
