However, Sgt. Keith Altizer told us that this morning that when the tow truck arrived about 8 this morning to get the suspect’s vehicle, the driver saw someone fleeing the area. Officers again attempted to locate the suspect but he eluded detection.
But, Altizer said, just before 10 a.m., an officer saw someone running alongside Hwy 255 between Pacheco and V Street. Officers converged on the area and captured the suspect, Jesse Lohmeier, by about 10:10 a.m.
After a high speed pursuit, police formed a perimeter around an area near Hwy 255 and Pacheco Road. Police then searched for the suspect and any belongingshe may have tossed in the chase. [Photo by Kris Nagel]

Sgt. Altizer said that so far they know of at least five vehicles vandalized by Lohmeier and they believe there are more. He asked that if anyone’s vehicle was damaged at the Co-op or if anyone has more information about the incident, please contact the Arcata Police at (707) 822-2428.

Aww… I was kinda hoping he’d get away. I know, I know he broke some innocent windows and he’s an asshole for that. But when a single guy evades that many police I can’t help but start rooting for him. And he was so close to escaping….oh well- score a win for the fuzz!
🕯🌳I have to agree with you we were starting to take bets in Fortuna on it sitting around a scanner and listening to them run around in circles. 🤔🖖
You guys obviously haven’t replaced any window glass in your vehicles lately! The laughter is over when you get the bill and the window doesn’t ever quite work as well as it originally did. I was hoping he was having to sleep in the field last night with Ralphie the Rattlesnake!
Since short stays in jail don’t work for the habitual criminal, I say we need to bring back the chain gang work crews. That just might get his attention and help him to change his ways before it’s too late. We don’t need any more people with limited amounts of brain cells here in Humboldt!
You guys can Keystone Cops our police all you want. Thing is, they always catch the asshole. Willie and farce can get your windows broke, won’t think it’s too funny then. Limited brain cells indeed.
I bet those stupid cops understand how to use emojis.
You guys think it’s so funny. Some version of Purge Day Light for you? No wonder the country’s going to hell. It’s not funny to have your truck burgled in your own driveway or anywhere else. Trust me. Let ‘em smash your windows, see how you like it.
I agree with you and Stuber, its not fun and games. The glass hater could have been hiding in the weeds with a weapon. Not funny Willie and Farce.
After having to replace every window on the passenger side of my van when I lived in Antioch,, I agree. I hope he has to pay for the repairs on every vehicle that he damaged. Asshole.
Burrrr…
No, this guy and his friends from Pennsylvania are complete losers and dangerous.
no doubt, his rap sheet includes felony vandalism and other loser related crimes. he got out of jail not so long ago in Washington State.
How recently?
Freddy,
Do you happen to know how this fine fellow came to be in an argument with someone on Iverson? Are him and his buddies car camping there or was he visiting someone who is a resident on that street.
Just curious, thanks.
Buster, show us a mugshot of “this fine fellow”, if you please.
Oops, forgot to enable the sarcasm font.
Check with local observer for a possible mug shot.

He was probably just protesting in the name of social justice. Maybe he is too poor to afford food because of capitalism. Either way we cannot lock him up, it’s somebody else’s fault. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
And Trump is the cure? Yeah, we see how that has worked out. Worst president in American history. Thanks, conservatives. And thank you, rollin, for reminding us right before election day.
Let’s back it up a minute. The system was designed to enrich a political class who essentially does the negotiation on behalf of the business class at the expense of the working class.
Your team just needs you to believe there is really a necessary evil that needs to be overcome every election cycle.
Change my mind.

🕯🌳Damn I see alot of nervous people out there. 🤔
Me too! My bad- I forgot that nothing is funny anymore and everybody’s on edge…so we must all root for the cops all the time I guess. (Unless it’s weed)
You laugh at cop’s overreaction and they laugh at yours. Seems appropriate. Maybe that’s not so funny in the end though.
🕯🌳Hey I’m all for the police but when there led around by a dip shit well the situation speaks for itself.
Your rationalization of juvenile comments speaks for itself.
