Deputies searched the vehicle pursuant to the terms of Price’s parole and located drug paraphernalia. Upon further investigation, deputies learned that the vehicle Price had been driving was reported stolen out of Crescent City. As deputies attempted to take Price into custody, Price began resisting, knocking the arresting deputing to the ground. Price then fled on foot, jumping over a guard rail and down an embankment into a wooded area. Sheriff’s deputies pursued Price and conducted an extensive search of the area but were unable to locate Price.
Price is wanted on charges of possession of a stolen vehicle (PC496D(A)), obstructing a public officer (PC 148(a)(1)), petty theft (PC 488), possession of a controlled substance (HS 11377(A)) and violation of parole (PC 3056). Price is described as an American Indian male, approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall, 170 pounds with blond hair and blue eyes. Price may be in possession of handcuffs.
Anyone with information about Price’s whereabouts is encouraged to call the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office at (707) 445-7251 or the Sheriff’s Office Crime Tip line at (707) 268-2539.

There is a problem with identity in law enforcement. Physical descriptions have fallen out of fashion. Even when they are used, they are subject to personal interpretations. If a police officer asks if someone had dark or light skin, they don’t provide a skin color chart so they know can know what “dark” or “light” means to the person they ask nor if it agrees with the officer’s idea of the meaning. And one miscommunication usually means no subsequent communication at all..
Liz Warren is.
well this ain’t good for him. He’s gone from bad to worse with the assault and evading.
As if he gives a shit.
that’s why he ran …. he gives a shit
Wearing handcuffs (behind his back?) and got away? Tsk tsk HCSO…
Yo P M, … ” As deputies attempted to take Price into custody, Price began resisting, knocking the arresting deputing (deputies) to the ground. ” Not cuffed.
“May be in possession of handcuffs”

petty theft (PC 488) tells me he “stole” a pair of handcuffs – probably because they were attached to him…
aww yes the right wrist always goes first. My apologies, drinks at my house 6 o’clock.
i have actually seen real pictures of real Native Americans from the East to West and this guy honestly looks the complete opposite of those pictures.
i know some may be shocked by this observation but if i put out an APB on this guy i would bet on my life he is from Europe!!!!!!!!!!!!
how’s that you PC nerds….LOL………..!!!!!!!!!!!!
Roman is on the tribal rolls but he’s barely enough to be on them. And he is a complete trainwreck of a person and an embarassment to the rest of whatever tribes he thinks he’s one with. He pays lip service just enough to convince a judge he’s “rehabilitated” and two months later he’s back at his bullshit.
