Drug Task Force Arrests One in Ferndale

JD SchmidtThe Humboldt County Drug Task Force arrested a man in Ferndale earlier this week for on suspicion of being involved in illicit drug sales.

According to Sergeant Jesse Taylor, spokesperson for the DTF, “On Monday about 5:15 [p.m.], we served a search warrant at a residence at Berding and Eugene streets in Ferndale.”

According to Taylor, there was a nearby daycare that, out of an abundance of caution, they wanted to avoid putting in danger so they didn’t attempt to serve the search warrant earlier. “We waited for the daycare to be vacant and empty,” he told us. “That is something we always consider. We consider public safety before [serving a warrant].”

“We were investigating a guy–a JD Schmidt–a wanted parolee at large out of Mendocino County,” Taylor explained. He said they had gotten word beyond being wanted in Mendocino was also dealing a significant amount of heroin in Humboldt County.

“We ended up seizing about two ounces of heroin and one ounce of meth,” Taylor said. “There were four people on scene [but] they were released other than Mr. Schmidt who was taken into custody for possession for sales and violation of parole.”

Maybe now the wave of thefts and car break-ins we’ve had here in Ferndale will subside.

A Rhodes Scholar would be running the entire operation, with 10 levels of cutouts between herself and the street-level operators such as this fool.

“Mr.Schmidt was booked into custody for possession” probably only to be released for more sales and more parole violation !

LEO’s, thank you for arresting this guy and getting him off the streets! Hopefully the so called justice system will now do its job and lock him up for a very long time, but I don’t have much hope of that.

The criminal friendly Democratic party and their supporters have spent decades eroding the rule of law and have made this state a sanctuary for not just illegal aliens, but every kind of criminal.

Time to Walk Away from the Democrats!

His last name is Schmidt and hes a white guy. Why should anyone suspect he is an illegal immigrant? If you hear hoof beats, think horses, not zebras.

are you serious right now “Is he here illegally” he is obviously a U.S citizen my bet is that he is from texas and i think the only reason he is getting in trouble is that he could have had a lot happen in the past 10 years

People need to wake up… If he had that much that just shows you how many addicts there are. They are your daughter, brother, mother, best friend or neighbor its really easy to turn a blind eye and blame instead of find a solution. Overprescribing pills was the reason this evil shit has become so popular, everybody needs to open their eyes and truly look around at the children, siblings, cousins, co workers and neighbors if you truly want to help society as a whole dont judge… how about be aware and try and be there for your loved ones hey maybe they will reach out for help instead of their next fix. This gentleman isnt the problem the addiction is…
