One Taken to Hospital After Resisting Arrest, Another Arrested in Arcata Bust, Says HCDTF
This is a press release from the Eureka Police Department. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:
On October 28th, 2021, special agents with the Humboldt County Drug Task Force (HCDTF) attempted to serve a search warrant and arrest warrants at an apartment in the 2500 block of Alliance Rd. in Arcata. Suspect Matthew Williams (29 years old) had two active felony warrants and Lila Perry (20 years old) had one active felony warrant. Agents had a signed search warrant to look for narcotics as well.
Agents performed knock and notice at the front door of the apartment and then made entry inside. Perry was arrested without incident and a second unrelated person was escorted out of the apartment. At the time information was obtained that Williams was hiding in the back of the apartment and was possibly armed. Agents requested a K-9 from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) to assist.
HCDTF Agents made several clear announcements inside the apartment over approx. a 30-minute time period ordering Williams to surrender to arrest. Agents did not receive a response from Williams. HCSO K-9 Yahtzee was deployed in the apartment and located Williams hiding in a closet off the back bedroom. K-9 Yahtzee apprehended Williams with the assistance of his K-9 handler and agents. Williams was transported to Mad River Hospital for medical treatment related to the K-9 apprehension.
Agents conducted a search of the apartment and located quantities of suspected methamphetamine and heroin that will require further testing. Agents also located ammunition in the area where Williams was apprehended. Agents did not locate a firearm.
Perry was booked at the Humboldt County Jail for her felony warrant. After receiving medical clearance Williams was transported to the Humboldt County Jail where he was booked for his two felony warrants as well as a new charge of resisting arrest.
Anyone with information related to this investigation or other narcotics related crimes are encouraged to call the Humboldt County Drug Task Force at 707-267-9976.

Today the dreams of an aspiring hide & seek champion were dashed.
Didn’t have time to get to the attic.
🤣😂🤣😂👍
Aspiring hide & seek champion or just some guy who wasn’t interested in going to jail. I’m not sure what I’d to if I were in the same situation. Which is why I must abstain from judgement . . . pretty much.
@John; But for the grace of God….there go I !!!
Those who show mercy will receive mercy .
Judge not lest ye be judged
You who judge are guilty of the same things
Blessed are the merciful….
Well, if you’ve got a 120 lb. German Shepherd chasing your ass, you might want to just give up!
eww … eww…. it’s the fuzz ….hide
Couple of days ago a guy got busted with dope and guns, today it’s dope and ammo?
She clearly knows it all
His mugshot looks like…. I’m afraid of dogs now!
Classic! 🤣😂🤣👍 You funny people are the main reason I read this crap!
Once again, Comedy Gold! 😂🤣😂👍
Canine apprehension is never a good thing. Lol. You go Yahtzeeee!
Good dog!
You can tell he is a lot smarter ,than some of the folks he catches!
I Wouldn’t want to roll the dice with Yahtzee!
Kym always deletes the best comments!
She’s all… dude, I wasn’t throwing you a steak to tempt your vegan lifestyle…
The dog bite is probably the worst part of his penalty…since our courts have no teeth
then there’s the laws that govern the courts
They learned he might have a gun? Anybody might have a gun. So they have not proven up crime has been committed but they are free to turn a dog loose on you in your house? This could maybe make sense if the warrant was for a violent crime and the arrest may potentially stop more violent crime. But for alleged drug sales? If you can’t make a clean arrest then put in the time and catch the guy in a way that is not unconstitutional.
What is unconstitutional about the way he was arrested?
Nothing
You know… whomever named that dog must have a twisted sense of humor. I mean, they sick the dog on a suspect, then yell “Yahtzee!!!” when he’s done chewing on them.
Imagine.
😁
