Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office press release: 

Sheriff Downey is pleased to announce and accept a generous donation of $1,000 dollars for the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office by Eureka resident, Gay Toroni-Morrison, owner of the Green Point Ranch and her husband, James Morrison. The donation was in recognition of the outstanding performance of Deputy Rondie Buzzard.

Gay Toroni-Morrison is the owner of the 300 acre Green Point Ranch located off Highway 299 near Lord Ellis. Recently a two week long civil hearing was conducted in Humboldt County Superior Court to remove a tenant off her ranch, who was refusing to leave. After the trial, Mrs. Morrison obtained judgement from the Superior Court Judge to have the tenant and his cattle evicted from her ranch.

Mrs. Morrison then contacted the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Civil Division.  Deputy Buzzard was assigned the eviction process against the tenant. Mrs. Morrison said Deputy Buzzard facilitated a quick and professional eviction process against the tenant. Mrs. Morrison said the tenant had started vandalizing her ranch improvements after the verdict. Without the timely response from Deputy Buzzard she said it would have cost her further costly legal actions.
