MCSO’s Captain Greg Van Patten told us today’s search was not prompted by a subsequent sighting of Evers but was “self-initiated” by MCSO.”
Captain Van Patten said MCSO personnel including “SWAT, Patrol, Task Force, K9” and some allied coast law enforcement affected today’s search in the area of Albion Ridge Road, Navarro Ridge Road, Middle Ridge Road, and the Salmon Creek Drainage.
In a seven-hour period, these teams walked approximately 17 miles trying to locate Evers in what Captain Van Patten described as “very challenging terrain to search and do so quietly.” The search yielded “signs/evidence of Evers” but no direct contact with him.
William Evers is considered “armed and dangerous” by the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office who suspect him of firing upon deputies in mid-May and stealing a rifle from a Philo cabin just days later.
He is described “as a white male adult, 6 feet 1 inch tall, weighing 180 pounds with brown eyes, brown hair and reddish facial hair.” Other notable features include “a skull or skulls tattoo on his right upper arm, “Demon face” tattoo on his upper left arm and an “unknown prominent tattoo on his chest.”
MCSO asks, “Anyone who observes suspicious activity or possible sightings of William Evers, especially those persons who live/visit Middle Ridge Road in Albion, are asked to immediately notify the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office by calling 707-961-2421 for non-emergencies or 9-1-1 if it is an emergency.”

When they catch him, he might spend the week in jail and be out. They fly helicopters to look for weed when they have satellite images. Why not fly and use FLIR?
He’s on parole and has a warrant from CDCR so he’ll go back to prison when they catch him. But yes – fly the helicopters if they are so worried about catching him.
Everytime they steal weed it helps the nazi mafia build up their militia. They have some personnel movers and fairly advanced tractors. They plot with the white nationalist and nazi federal police to pull a hitler. They have another terror cell in georgia florida. They are the worst in the world.
Any news on what was going on in elk river yesterday? 6 or 7 police cars by the nursery. A neighbor thought it was a shooting. I saw a cop holding up a hatchet they found.
There was a post about it. They found a dead body and investigating suspicious circumstances.
If I see him imma give him a fat nug, a six-pack of squirt and a sandwich.
Fuck yea! Some Squirt and a homemade Sammy will keep this guy wholesome and going for a while longer!
I bet you would be singing a different tune if this guy was raiding your house while you were at work bro.
Kinda overdoing it for a guy raiding a garden.
Are you kidding? Just let any totally unknown person rummage through your yard and garden? Yeah, just take all your veggies and fruit, get the lay-of-the-land, scope out your daily patterns, your KIDS. Probably he’s misunderstood. Have a fun day at the river while your place gets ransacked. Or you get attacked on a “bad” day.
One pic showed Red-B in somebody’s house. I guess the garden was cleaned out. God helps those who help themselves. I am NOT obligated to retreat from my OWN HOME, but you can if that’s how you roll.
They usually don’t like being shot at.
That’s what’s at stake here. Their egos don’t like someone who fights back
If authorities are trying to make a folk hero out of this guy, they are doing a good job.
If he was just a garden raider I’d plant more but nope. He’s a bad guy
He must be up in the trees No one looks up in this country
he’s just another northcoast tweak. the only difference from this guy and the tweaks that creeps my neighborhood is that this tweak shot at a cop while creeping. find his meth connection and you find him. he grew up in that area and likely has a remote shack he eventually sleeps in.
“Comb the desert!”
Man, we ain’t found shit!
A number years back, in Maine, there was another guy whose story was similar to that of the Redbearded Burglar. This guy–the Maine Hermit, he came to be known as–had been doing his thing for years before they finally caught up with him. He’d, like, go into these people’s homes and take things, but nothing of tremendous value. A lot of times it would be just food items, so he could eat. When they eventually found him, he was camped out way back in the woods. On cold winter nights he’d even forego lighting a fire, so as to avoid detection. A little bit like Theodore Kaczynski, except that even Ted owned his place and lived in a proper shed. In the end, he was given probation, part of the terms being that he either get a job or go to school. I don’t which he chose.
I remember that. Didn’t they call him the Rabbit man because that was his main food
