The Humboldt County Drug Task Force is currently assisting federal agents in the execution of some sort of warrant on the 400 block of Francesco Place, Fortuna.

Local law enforcement sources aren’t saying much at the moment — a DTF receptionist tells the Lost Coast Outpost that all her agents are currently out in the field — but Lt.
