A woman who was arrested after Saturday night’s “marijuana-related robbery” that left one dead in an Arcata neighborhood has been released from jail.

According to jail records, Kimberly Lyn Steele, who was arrested at her Samoa home shortly after the incident in Arcata’s Sunset neighborhood, was set free yesterday shortly after noon.

Hours later, the Arcata Police Department and the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office raided a location at the Bear River Rancheria and took Billy Joe Giddings into custody. He and Robert Louis Huntzinger are still in jail facing murder and robbery charges.

Tom Chapman, Arcata chief of police, told the Outpost that his office and the district attorney were still reviewing evidence against Steele, and that they are still contemplating potential charges in connection with Saturday night’s events.

“[This] doesn’t mean the book is closed on Kimberley Steele,” Chapman said. “Not at all.”
