made threats to use the weapon on staff.
Olivo III
Due to the serious nature of the information, several correctional deputies stayed after their twelve-hour shift to help conduct a search of the unit where the weapon was allegedly hidden. By staying
past their shift, the correctional deputies allowed normal jail functions to continue while this critical
search took place.
Correctional deputies searched the entire unit and located a sharpened jail-issued spork in the cell of
20-year-old Joe Olivo III. The weapon was removed and Olivo was booked on additional charges of
possession of a deadly weapon by a prisoner.
Olivio is currently in the Humboldt County
Correctional Facility awaiting trial on suspicion of murder, among other charges.
