Eureka Police Department press release:
On June 28, 2016, at about 9:32 p.m.., Officers with the Eureka Police Department responded to the 300 block of West Del Norte Street for the report of a disturbance involving a man breaking a window.
Once on scene, officers found a male victim bleeding from his forearm. The victim reported that he was stabbed in the arm after confronting a male who threw a bicycle frame through the front window of his apartment. The victim was transported to the hospital by ambulance with a non-life threatening stab wound to his arm.
The victim positively identified the suspect from a photo lineup as Destry Girard, 43 of Eureka. It appears Destry threw the bicycle due to recent arguments over a female. Officers issued an arrest warrant for Destry for assault with a deadly weapon and malicious mischief. Destry also has an unrelated warrant for resisting arrest.
If you have information related to this incident or know the whereabouts of Destry, call the Eureka Police Department at (707) 441-4044.
