On Sunday, Eureka police arrested Jesse Curtis Hiller, the suspect wanted for fleeing sheriff’s deputies and California Highway Patrol during a traffic stop in November.

Concurrent with the November traffic stop, officers anticipated serving a search warrant at a McKinleyville residence. The home was believed to contain a large quantity of methamphetamine for sale. 

However, Jesse Curtis Hiller fled from authorities at speeds in excess of 100 mph, and was able to evade arrest.

Later that day, a search warrant was served at Hiller’s temporary residence in Loleta. There, Humboldt County Drug Task Force Agents discovered seven pounds of processed marijuana packaged for sale, scales, packaging consistent with methamphetamine sales, and a loaded .357 caliber revolver linked to a Pacific Outfitters burglary.

Eureka Police Department Public Information Officer Brittany Powell told the Outpost that an EPD officer spotted Hiller’s vehicle on Sunday at the intersection of 5th and I streets.

“Our officer recognized the vehicle and observed a traffic violation and made the stop,” Powell said.

Hiller was arrested and booked at the Humboldt County Correctional Facility for warrants relating to these previous events.

The stolen revolver recovered during the November search.
