Wanted Felon Hides From Deputies Under Shed After Foot Pursuit Through Manila
Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office press release:
A wanted felon was arrested in Manila after leading deputies on a foot pursuit.
On April 18, 2018, at about 1:15 p.m., the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Emergency
Communications Center received a call from Manila residents reporting a suspicious subject
entering and exiting a barn on the 200 block of Stamps Lane. Descriptions of the subject closely
matched the appearance of wanted felony suspect, Aaron Ray Waggoner, 42, whom deputies
were searching for in the area earlier in the day.
While checking the area for the subject, deputies observed Waggoner entering a vehicle. When
deputies attempted to make contact with Waggoner, he fled on foot through multiple properties.
Deputies located Waggoner hiding under a shed at a property on the 1800 block of Keye Street.
Waggoner was taken into custody and booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on
four felony warrants, in addition to fresh charges of carrying a concealed dirk or dagger and
resisting a peace officer.
Anyone with information about this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the
Sheriff’s Office at (707) 445-7251 or the Sheriff’s Office Crime Tip line at (707) 268-2539.
