On 8/04/11, investigators with the Eureka Police Department’s Problem Oriented Policing Unit (POP) conducted a “maximum enforcement” operation targeting specific neighborhood problem houses within the City of Eureka. Approximately 8-12 locations were targeted based upon on-going complaints EPD/POP had been receiving about suspected criminal activity occurring at these residences. These complaints included allegations of suspected drug use and dealing.

During the approximately 7-hour operation, 5 suspects were arrested for various offenses including outstanding warrants and drug related charges.   

James Travis Derryberry (50 of Eureka) was arrested at a home on the 1200 block of A Street, Eureka after investigators found a small quantity of heroin and drug paraphernalia in the residence. Derryberry was transported to the Humboldt County Jail where he was booked for possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of hypodermic syringes, and maintaining a place for purposes of drug use/sales.   

Crystal Nicole Stewart (30 of Eureka) was also arrested and transported to the Humboldt County Jail for outstanding warrants at the same residence on the 1200 block of A Street.

Aaron James Bramlett (27 of Eureka) was arrested for drug related offenses at an apartment on the 1200 block of 6th Street, Eureka.
