One Arrested After Warrant Served at Garberville Business
Gabino Catano
Yesterday, the Humboldt County Drug Task Force arrested one man for possession of methamphetamine for sale in Garberville. Law enforcement believes the suspect is a “a mid to upper level narcotics trafficker,” Sgt Jesse Taylor of the DTF told us.
According to Taylor, “In response to suspected drug activity coming from the Lone Pine Motel, HCDTF agents were able to secure a search warrant for a room rented by Gabino Catano.”
DTF agents located Catano, age 56, at a nearby business, Taylor said.
“Catano was found to be in possession of suspected methamphetamine for sales,” Taylor told us. “Catano was likely at the end of his supply when he was arrested.”

There you go willi….hippy joes supplier. That didn’t take long eh, problem now…… this guy won’t “sing”. Mexican mafia runs the meth and heroin trade in humboldt. Has for decades.
🕯🌳Supplied by Hoopa.🤯🇺🇸
Good reason not to use that stuff. Besides in being incredibly bad for you, you enable this sort of culture to flourish. All of the societal problems associated with illicit drugs will go away once society give up their appetite for drugs.
The end of his supply? What happened to all his money then? Hmmm
He spent it buying a single bag of groceries from Ray’s food place.
Yeah, no joke. I will see things for sale at Ray’s for 4.99 that you can get at winco for 1.99. Things there regularly cost half to two and a half times as much as winco charges. Its exploitation plain and simple.
But back to the organized crime… Why doesn’t humboldt do a sting and arrest 50+ gang members like they do in Fresno and Bakersfield? Too inept? Is it too hard to keep track of the Cartel meth ring operators who are here seeking sanctuary?
Funny Carricomom, that’s the truth… Food is still at greenrush pricing.
Haha, you can buy 8oz of cream cheese at Murphy’s for 7.99 or you can buy 3 pounds of the same brand at Costco for 8.99.
No joke, and the term I use is “drug dealer prices”. Captive audience here in SoHum.
Excellent! Keep up the good work LEOs!
ha ha. the “anonymous” whistleblower!?
Yup run out the growers and hire more cops. That’s gonna work right. I miss the early 90s when this never happened because the locals dealt with it. Your cops can’t arrest them there is no room in the jail. The county has no money because all the mom and pop grows are gone and our weed field are permitted to investment groups in the bay. We still have weed but the money is gone. Now it’s being spent in Silicon Valley not local. If we’re going to fix it Honsal has to go. Stop permitting grows backed by out of town money make it so local farmers can actually afford the permitting process. It’s just about to late. 1 more year of Honsal style camp raids will suck the last of the local economy away. Waive permit fees for applicants who submit a local birth certificate with there application. Work with locals and let there fees stack as debt to the county and give them a few years to catch up.
Preach peach!
/”Honsal has to go.”/
~i’m w/you on this.
Didn’t y’all vote to legalize. Legalization costs just like anything else legal. Why should the market favor locals? Even the playing field and open to everyone like elsewhere.
JP..
Yess..
2000 was a bad turning point all thru Ca.. Crimenals got rights and excusses they should never have gotten..
The days of the community handling it when law couldnt are long gone.. the good ppl are more scared than the criminal
It’s a sad commentary that the flow of Cartel drugs is made possible by the insatiable addictions of so many locals, including the homeless.
Supply and demand.
It’s not a mystery.
🕯🌳Its so sad to see people that see make believe Cartel in every drug bust of color.
willie there has been one crank bust in over 10 years. the rest is literally all from mexico. move on there are other bad things in life to focus on. the stuff anti-hippie joe had was not yellow.
🕯🌳I can grant you that most of the heroin, meth is being produced locally.
Are you fucking serious !! Get a clue dude……
3rd that. Idiocy at it’s finest. Sad part is no amount of scorn or education will make someone that ignorant change their mind.
Do you remember Aaron Bassler. Killed by state police snipers in mendo. He was growing poppies opium poppies.
Your right but Arron was my friend when we were kids so I know what he was doing back there is was making opium to mix with bubble he was known for opiated hash
Poppies are the official California state flower…
Differ variety as opium
Thanks for your comment, Willie.
Do you people understand how easy it is to cook meth?
You don’t think meth is getting cooked up all over this damn county?
What is wrong with you people?
No it’s way easier to get the precursors in Mexico and smuggle dope than smuggle the precursors then manufacture here. It’s definitely mostly coming over the border at this point. There may be a few pill getters cooking off efrdra from them but not like they used to. Making cold pills requiring I’d and sales limitations culled that
🕯🌳The same way you grow your illegal grows. What’s the California State flower? It is a cousin to the evil poppie and can be GMO’d just like your weed into what ever grade they want. What do you think they found so well protected when that Paradise fire burned? What happened to that convoy of VW vans that were leaving after the fire and they weren’t touched. 🤯
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ok, now this is getting good! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Catch up to real-time Willie. Let me guess; you think all the meth here is produced by bikers on Murder Mountain and all the heroin is produced by poppy growing Hmongs in the Trinity Pines.
Do some research. Please.
Your supposition about what Willie thinks is off-base. Just because someone acknowledges that our shit gets made locally, it doesn’t mean they’re subscribing to racial stereotypes. Meth gets made all over the damn place. People make it in their damn bathtubs. Kids make it. It doesn’t even matter. It’s home-damn-grown. Maybe you should do some research.
The 1960s called, they want their biker bathtub speed recipe back.
Seriously, the information you need is just a google search away. Try it.
Leave the bikers alone already.
This ain’t about them.
If we’re going to live in the meth past, you have to include bikers. What? You didn’t know they were producing mass quantities back in the day??
Actually, we’re all here in the meth present.
“meth present” lol….that made my day… Maybe just stick with coffee people…
🕯🌳Hey by the way it’s the bikers that brings the shit up for the Hispanics when and if it ever does anymore. What you people don’t realize is this is the 21st century and even the Hispanics aren’t stupid enough to keep on doing the same old shit that’s been getting busted and played out for about 30yrs. Catch up with the times Jethro’s and open your eyes.👁
😂😂😂😂😂
🕯🌳No,out in Hoopa,or off around Walnut dr. in Cutten that area is full of kitchens. Ask granny. And as for the weed you guys already sell GMO’D weed anyway so what’s the big deal about a simple flower. 🌻
“Ask granny.”
Make no mistake… she knows.
Youve never heard of Granny’s famous meth?? Cooked up right in Cutten. She sells it out the back door with her famous apple pies…
You mean you didn’t know?
Do you live under a rock?
Of course I knew. Everyone knows about Granny. Her meth is famous from the Oregon border to Ukiah. There’s a fleet of 1962 VW bugs that deliver it all over the county.
Who doesn’t know that ??
Willi. Chemists and super labs, México. Runners and mules. Sober clean cut white people getting drugs from Mexico, into the USA . Distribution and suppliers. Mexican mafia. Petty, strung out street pushers and hustler dealers. White boys like hippy joe. Shot callers and “painters”. King pin Mexicans. Got it now?
“sober clean cut white people”
What a joke.
🕯🌳And the supply of uneducated European users will never stop. That is the threat to this country is the junkie not the supplier. Take out the need,you take out the supply. 👍🏽🇺🇸
“the threat to this country is the junkie not the supplier”
So true…
People here need to really think about this fact.
Well your dead on there willi.
🕯🌳Only in your mind. But if you want to think there the shot callers then your probably one of the one’s pushing the shit from this side.🇺🇸👍🏽
Get off Willie’s back! Even if 60% or 70% is brought into the area, that means that there is still a significant amount made locally. Chemicals are easy to procure if you have the money, just like anything else. Don’t tell me it is all coming from Mexico, I know different.
Nope, they’re still outgassing here! Not all the local Meth Monkeys trust the Mexican Meth or have contact with them. Why should they worry about their small labs when no one is looking for them. Don’t believe everything you read or what you’re told. Open your eyes and nose and decide for yourself!
Take a walk in the evening around your neighborhood. Smell that smell? Yep, that’s cancer causing chemicals you are breathing. Bet you thought old Joe, next door, got himself a rank cord of wood, didn’t you? Don’t you see all the local little hillbilly, gremlin, drug monsters walking around the Dollar Stores with tombstones in their eyes? Wake up people!!!
This is the number one killer drug in Humboldt County! Time to raise your head out of the sand and close down the Meth communes. The truth will always eventually rise to the top. It’s easy not to step up and do something about this if you pretend like it is not happening!
Oh, by the way, all the pineapple comes from Hawaii!
The meth that is made here is crap and yes, there meth made in humboldt! Most for personal use and small neighborhood sales. Mexico has the best meth and heroin out there! If you want to start supplying meth and/or heroin without “consent” on a larger scale, you will have a talk given to you, and not by your neighborhood watch officer. You can make meth in a 2 liter soda bottle with ingredients. Shake it up, vent it , and let it sit for 12 hours and woo lay! Your fix is ready! Than again, you can clean your battery terminals and add some saltpeter and have a fix too.
Thanks for that.
Myth Buster, speaking Truth!
its just a house full of tweaker’s smoking it which you associate with a lab. the off gas of a meth lab smells nothing like meth. the cost of chemicals to make meth in the US are higher than buying Mexican meth. yellow crank is not meth. and gremlin meth monsters we see all over the area are not even smart enough to make crank. and if they were, we would be seeing related explosions and fires, along with houses being dismantled by haz-mat workers and all the demo debris shipped to a special waste dump. even the white power users covered in swastikas prefer good meth over bad crank. its not about trust, its about quality and profitability.
Actually, you don’t live in my area or home. Does it really matter what chemicals are being mixed to make their drugs? Does it matter that they are toxic? Does it matter what they are called? Does it matter that they are polluting my environment? You damn right!!! The days of making drugs with open fires are gone.
We don’t have the money, equipment, and manpower here in Humboldt County to deal with these toxic buildings and people. So we look the other way. You first have to admit that they exist to be able to deal with the problem. Yes, they are here.
No business can operate in the red. They have to be able to pick the problems that they deal with. Including our police force! I don’t currently have that option. Not to mention all the police and firemen and other officials that have died or are on disability combating this issue in the country. We can all just seem to want to ignore the hard druggies and hope and pray that they just go away. Not happening.
Some people can talk about this nightmare and others are living it! You would not believe the thousands of dollars I have spent trying just to survive this nightmare. I’m damaged, but I’m still here!
I hope some day I can hear the “Fat Lady”, clearing her voice and getting ready to sing!!! Will it it happen before my “Golden Years” runs out, or will I have to pack my bags and get out of Dodge?
Ok, now let’s hear about the Humboldt poppy fields… this is getting good 🍿👍
This man looks rather young for 56. I guess the drug business has been good to him. Most people I see arrested with meth look haggard and tore up from the floor up!
Heroin is a preservative
He’s not a user! A supplier.
I am Not condoning the sales, however, i do have a question on how “suspected drug activity” led to a Due Process warrant? Where’s the injured party? (don’t come unglued on me. I get the society injured parties, but i mean, Who signed the affidavit under penalty of perjury for warrant to issue?
“First they came for the . . .”
Hey popos you just made a new dealer king, nothing more. What a crock of crap. Taylor told us. “Catano was likely at the end of his supply when he was arrested.” Cops always overestimate the size and value of contraband. It makes them feel relevant, helps them obtain illegal warrants from clueless judges, and impresses the mindless lemmings that follow their facebook posts.
He dont get high on his supply funny that he got busted being high usually causes the user dealer to mess up ,and get caught, but not this time good job DTF
I don’t need no stinking jobs!
Such judgement in the comments. No one else noticing the mugshot tears in the eyes? I’ve never seen this expression on a hardened actual gang/cartel member, in any situation -and suspect there is more to this story.
And yes Carricomom … It is well known that Ray’s in other areas do not have our “greenrush” pricing. Oh, but I guess that’s “legal”.
Tears in the eyes? WTF you talking about Willis! Don’t worry though, you don’t rat, and do time for others, you get a tear, a tattoo tear below the eye! This guy is out on bail already or he is having a very interesting conversation with “hippy” joe. Don’t worry joe, they still serve turkey on thanksgiving in jail.
He is out on his way to mexico never to be seen again
Best reality comment yet mark! He’ll be fine…..the rat….. not so well.
🕯🌳Man has more family here than you do.🇺🇸🖖
Yes he does willi. Yes he does. California is México, look around much? Ironically Mexicans are fleeing from Mexico to make California Mexico! Take away the guns, right to possess and use drugs, criminals control the drug trade while putting fear into defenseless citizens and more poor people by the month….. yep that’s Mexico! Enjoy willi
🕯🌳It was there home 200yrs before the first European set foot here.
I get it. You people want to pretend that all drug dealers come from Mexico, and all drugs come from Mexico, and people here wouldn’t even know what drugs are except for Mexico, because good old American boys are just too innocent and pure for drugs… too innocent and pure to make them or sell them. Good old American boys just buy them… shoot ’em, smoke ’em, snort ’em, and swallow ’em, cuz they’re all a bunch of helpless victims.
Nice…
Yeah, sure…
You people really need to own your shit already.
No wonder you’re a bunch of addicts.
Yeah,sure
Well seems to me they didnt find any money or much of any drugs other the personal to justify posetion for sales packaging equipment or scales so how is it they figure him to be a mid level dealer ..sound to me like they screwed up and are trying to cover there tracks ,maybe even trying to get around a law suit
🕯🌳Thank you Jeff for a bit of common sense. 🖖
🕯🌳You guys just go ahead and put your blinders back on and go back to putting every brick in the wall.🎼 Wasting United States tax dollars on a personal monument. 🐸
Right?
These people want to blame everyone else for their drug problem.
And then shoot the messenger.
What a damn shame.

Whatever Willie. Let us know when one of those heroin or meth producing labs gets busted in Humboldt. It will be a victory and hard drugs will be a thing of the past locally, right Willie? 👏👍💀😵👹🙌👻😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They don’t get busted.
Cuz they’re so popular.
Cops won’t touch ’em.
And all the hard drugs will stick around as long as there’s white boys with cash.
Yeah,sure
🕯🌳You let me know when they bust the Mexican drug Cartel in Humboldt County. ⚖⚖⚖🇺🇸🇺🇸👁👁👁🌧🌧🌧🖖
they don’t get busted willi. There is too much money and protection involved. Just like the legion of Eastern Europeans in humboldt, they don’t go down. It’s called mafia for a reason. Where there is that much money involved even cops, border agents and politicians are on the pay roll. Major successful corporations are made by two things. Intimidation and very good lawyers. God bless America.
And you think home-grown white boys ain’t got mafia?
You think they don’t play?
Damn Congress is in on it… https://www.thenation.com/article/mitch-mcconnells-freighted-ties-shadowy-shipping-company/
You can rest assured, the primary beneficiaries of the drug trade in this country are US born and raised. And, like Congress, they’re probably almost all a bunch of rich old white boys.
You do realize, in this country, it is the white mafia that is most privileged, most rich, and gets away with the most illegal shit. We catch someone else making too much money and we shut ’em down or at least shake ’em down and bust a kneecap to slow them down. Every body always needs to know who’s in charge. Same with growers… as soon as they get big and profitable, they come in with the same playbook. And start pointing fingers at whatever local minority-owned crime-syndicate is convenient. All you gotta do is read between the lines…
But, yeah, God bless America.
🕯🌳It may or not happen here pretty soon. Every single one of you making fun of it also complain about the officials that are on the take,so what are they protecting?Well here you go. Since the Korean War. 🇺🇸🖖👍🏽🛐
🕯🌳And those chemicals are just as easily or easier to bring here than the meth. Ask Hoopa? And I’m not shitting about Cutten and Walnut dr., there’s more undercover working in that area that tweakers almost. Just like Hippie Joe there looking for the supply train. The guy in this article was just some hand off guy. Mexicans aren’t as stupid as you’d liked to think they are.🖖 And as for the heroin you said it yourself, there all paid off the officials.
Where are the Humboldt poppy fields? Near the buried train full of treasures?
