UPDATE, 9/24/15: The Outpost received a call from Wade Henson, mentioned in the post below, who understandably wanted to inform us that he was later legally cleared of all involvement in the grow operation in question. Charges were dropped, he said. We’ve asked him to provide us with a case number so we can follow up and will add additional information when that becomes available. —AG

Original Post: Today’s edition of “BOOKED” tells the tale: Yesterday was a big one for local law enforcement vis a vis their rearguard action in the War on Drugs.

Eight Humboldters total were locked up on violations of California Health and Safety Code §11358 (“Marijuana Cultivation”). The wealth was spread: Three arrestees were shown to their new quarters by the Humboldt County Drug Task Force, one by the Eureka Police Department and three by the District Attorney’s Office. The latter are presumably lately of the Titlow Hill area.

Your arrestees are:

CHRISTOPHER WALKER BURNS DTFO 9:30 a.m.
WADE ALBERT HENSON DTFO 9:30 a.m.
