This is a press release from the Humboldt 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:
Gabino Antonio Rivera
On Aug. 16, 2021, at about 6:27 p.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a parking lot on the 7300 block of Tompkins Hill Road for the report of a vandalism and brandishing that had just occurred.
Deputies contacted a 41-year-old male victim who was uninjured. The victim told deputies that he had driven to the Fields Landing Boat Ramp to meet with a female acquaintance, 42-year-old Melissa Marie Ryan. Upon his arrival, the victim was confronted by Ryan and 50-year-old Gabino Antonio Rivera. According to the victim, Rivera brandished a knife at the victim, began threatening him, then stabbed a tire and the victim’s vehicle.
The victim fled in his vehicle to the Tompkins Hill location. The suspects followed the victim to the location. Rivera then reportedly exited his vehicle and brandished a crossbow at the victim before fleeing the area.
Deputies contacted Rivera and Ryan outside a residence on the 1800 block of Buhne Drive in King Salmon. Following further investigation, Rivera was taken into custody and booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on charges of attempted assault with a deadly weapon likely to cause great bodily injury (PC 664/245(a)(1)), exhibiting a deadly weapon other than a firearm (PC 417(a)(1)), criminal threats (PC 422), vandalism (PC 594(b)(1)), conspiracy to commit a crime (PC 182(a)(1)) and violation of probation (PC 1203.2(a)(1)).
Ryan was cited and released on charges of conspiracy to commit a crime (PC 182(a)(1)).
Anyone with information about this case or related criminal activity 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.

I blame Trump, Bush, Obama & Biden for this incident. Do you agree? Put your comments below. ⬇️

But he knows it’s his own damn fault….

I blame Calvin and Hobbes for not running for President
I blame Calvin for peeing on the Ford logo. He was definately trying to provoke me.
now that funny
Don’t be silly, it’s the unvaccinated’s fault
How dare you bring politics into the conversation
When trying to out do Arcata ya gotta carry more than a knife.
So if you murder a tire you get to stay in jail, but if you murder a person you get out on your own recognizance.
Only a California…
Alf that is totally bs and you know it.
PS…how was Allman pushed out of MCSO for misconduct?
Or is that just another baseless projection like above?
Does the worthless Marcia Kitchen come to mind? I think she actually paid some bail, but she killed 2 and spent a few months of her sentence. Anyone who doesn’t realize her release and hundreds of thousands of criminals released by our illustrious loser Governor over “COVID” concerns put in priority over the safety of others has their head buried in the sand or are just blind. We can’t keep drug dealers in jail even though their products are killing people. So, quite frankly, yes, you get in trouble in this State more for stupid things like stabbing a tire than for causing human injuries or death.
Covid has killed more than 20 times the number of people in California than there were homicides during the same period. I hope this explaination is not too mathy for you.
Well then I guess we should just stop arresting people and sending them to prison then huh.. I mean if murder isn’t a heinous enough crime to keep someone in prison during a pandemic then what’s the point of arresting anybody for anything?
I guess it depends on if you’d rather let one guilty person go free or 20 innocent people die.
The govenor did NOT choose to release criminals from jail/prison.
The Judiciary Council of CA did.
The govenor is required to comply w/ Judicial rulings.
He is NOT in control of the Judicial Branch of the government of CA.
You do understand that this Democratic Republic, we call the USA, has 3 branches of government, right?
Executive, Legislative, Judicial.
The people are the fourth pillar.
Heard of Checks and Balances?
Anyone pass civics?
A Govenor is the Prime Executor of a State…..like the Sheriff is for a County….or a Mayor is for a City.
All CA Judges are bound by rulings of the CA Judiciary Council.
And maybe you missed that this guy, alledgedly, intentionally threatened a man with a knife AND pursued him in order to threaten him w/ a crossbow.
You think that’s a bs charge?
Who’s head is in the sand?
Put blame where it’s due…but this parroting uneducated misinformed propaganda shite is just that, shite.
Everyone needs to decide how much more $ we want to spend to expand the prison system AGAIN instead of the schools.
Or what real alternative solutions to just locking people up forever with little or no real corrective action?
Prison provides plenty of cheap slave labor for corporations too.
It’s more expensive to imprison 2.1million+ people than to educate EVERYONE.
We are the so called beacon of freedom but we incarcerate a higher # and % of our people than anywhere else on earth.
Compared to “developed” nations our #s are massively higher…as in 5-20 times higher.
It’s NOT working.
Anyone happen to remember that the CA prisons were super overcrowded and the years long court battles that led to loads of early releases and prison inmates being moved to county jails?
That wasn’t the govenor’s doing either.
Based on the very basic misconceptions you, and many others commenting, are working with I’d say brushing up on the fundamentals of law & civics would be a vital community service.
Ass, meet hole in the ground.
That might be a better solution than locking everyone up….stop cutting budgets to schools and people might be less likely to end up in prison OR to parrot misinformation without checking the data.
Critical thinking isn’t genetic, it’s an acquired trait.
well said, but there is a certain population that is eager to join their relatives in prison, all the schooling in the timbucktoo wont help that mind set, have open air prisons in the desert
Excellent! Spot on addressing education (early) over incarceration (later). Federal spending for public education began its decline in the early 80’s and as continued relatively unabated with the wealthy pushing for “vouchers” so they could send their kids to private schools and also avoid paying taxes. The lost federal monetary contribution had to be made up by the states either through program cuts (usually to the arts, music, and sports) or increased taxes, or both. Where I grew up, the school districts in the county contributed to a vocational program where high school aged students, who chose to do so (and many did), spent the second half of the day at vocational training learning to become carpenters, electricians, plumbers, welders, HVAC techs, etc. HumCo NEEDS such a program, and heavy equipment operator training would be a great addition.
When the piers which support the public education system are pulled, they are usually then used to support the prisons.
aint that the truth
🕯🌳I was thinking the same thing. Prayers and condolences to the owner of the vehicle. 🕊🕊
SQUIRREL!
Gabino was always a good worker. Shows up on time and keeps his habits out of sight and out of mind. He can be counted on to take charge and steer a situation. Past experience as a knife handler and womanizer makes him the perfect candidate for your next temp worker project. Should be available in 3-5 (hours).
rotflmao
Yeah but that tire won’t piss him off again.
Why? Just have ask..
How come the men always go to jail and the women are always cited and released?
This time it’s likely because the woman didn’t brandish any weapons or stab any tires, according to the account given but the man did.
I betcha she started it
This is a one sided story. The elegde victim mattew Caston (he can be found on lost coast 0utpost) is known for kidnapping and imprisonment and is also a suspect in the disappearance of Heather white she was last seen on monument Rd with Matthew Caston.
This is a press release not a story.
Lol…..I was never a suspect in Heather White disappearance….and I am in close contact with her family to solve this case…..and I have never been charged with kidnapping…..so know your facts [edit]
[edit] get your facts right…..I was never a suspect in Heather White disappearance……and I was never charged with kidnapping…..and this case has nothing to do with Heather disappearance…..
Gabino Rivera is a punk bitch…..and he scared to fist fight so he brought weapons……And Melissa Ryan is the ugliest woman I’ve ever seen…..
