LoCO finds itself on the scene of a Sunday afternoon vehicle search being conducted by Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department Deputies and Eureka Police officers on the 2700 block of Summer Street, half a block west of Henderson near 20-30 Park.

EPD sergeant Gary Whitmer tells LoCO‘s Hank Sims that there was a be-on-the-lookout issued for the Mercedes pictured above in association with a domestic violence case. The car was spotted by Sheriff’s deputies resulting in a short chase. After the vehicle came to a stop, deputies drew their weapons on the driver who initially attempted to flee. The driver and two passengers were taken into custody. 

Sims reports from the scene that, so far, deputies have mostly removed laundry from the vehicle. Oh, and a samurai sword. LoCO will update when we know more.
