MCSO Says Registered Sex Offender Failed to Avoid Law Enforcement
This is a press release from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:
On 04-05-2021 at about 8:30 PM, a Mendocino County Sheriff’s Deputy was on patrol in the area of Highway 162 near Biggar Lane in Covelo, California.
The Deputy observed a green Subaru Outback drive past his location. The Deputy noticed the male driver, later identified as Allen Lee Wears, ducked as he drove past. The Deputy noted several lighting equipment violations on the rear of the vehicle.
The Deputy initiated an traffic stop on the Subaru as it turned west onto Biggar Lane. The Subaru did not yield, instead accelerating and continuing westbound on Biggar Lane.
A vehicle pursuit ensued and continued onto Refuse Road. When the roadway transitioned to rough, unpaved surface, the Deputy lost visual contact with the Subaru due to dust. A short time later the Deputy regained visual contact with the Subaru, finding it had come to a stop. Other Deputies arrived to assist at this time.
Upon approaching the Subaru, it was discovered the vehicle had collided with a large rock and became high centered along the bank of the creek. The Subaru was unoccupied and it was learned Wears had fled on foot, northbound along Mill Creek.
Sheriff’s Office K9 “Bo” was deployed a short time later to search for Wears. K9 “Bo” searched the rugged terrain extensively, following a track to an area that was deemed unsafe to continue.
During the search, it was learned that Wears was a registered sex offender and was on active CDC Parole. Wears was out of compliance with 290 PC registration requirements and had an outstanding warrant for his arrest for violating the conditions of his Parole. The Subaru was later towed and the search was suspended.
On 04-06-2021 at about 10:30 AM, a Deputy contacted Wears at a residence on Logan Lane in Covelo.
Wears was arrested for his Parole violation warrant, 290(b) PC (Sex Offender Failure to Register), and 2800.2(a) VC (Reckless Driving while Evading a Peace Officer).
Wears was booked into the Mendocino County Jail where he was to be held on a no-bail status.

Looks like the gigs up for the Covelo outlaw hidey hole
Wish Sheriff Kendall would focus on the other parts of the country. It’s looking like a zombie greenhouse movie out there. How can there be a profitable market in weed? Considering all the other legal states and the high cost of everything related to growing.
Illegal growers will get around $1,500/lbs. for outdoor this season…
Humboldt county sheriff press release?? Pretty sure you mean Mendocino sheriff press release.
Oh, god, staying up too late to catch up is counter productive. I’ve fixed it now.
No worries. Figured you busy doing alot. Thought I would help
You did. I appreciate it.
Kym, you’re probably exhausted.
Title says he “got caught dumping firearm. I don’t see that indicated in MCSO press release.
Jesus, I must have screwed up but I swear this read that he dropped a pack when he fled on foot that was later found and it contained a firearm. I apologize profoundly and have updated.
Kym, That was the motorcycle chase guy a few days ago..
God knows I was exhausted when I put this out. It’s possible my mind…uh…blurred. And no…I wasn’t smoking.
No need to apologize!! Your work is usually pretty close to perfect.
I have a I related question. Last year a man jumped off of the Russian River bridge outside of Ukiah after crashing on the bridge and the jump killed him. I was on site when that happened but I never saw an update releasing his name does anybody know who he was?
