On January 31, 2018, at about 3:48 p.m., officers with the Eureka Police Department
located a vehicle associated with felony warrant suspect, 21 year old Benjamin Dimmick.
The vehicle was parked near his residence on the 3500 block of California Street.
Due to Dimmick’s history of fleeing and violently resisting arrest, officers set up a
perimeter around the residence. Upon contact, Dimmick exited the rear of the residence,
jumped over a fence, and fled through a greenbelt. K9 Vex began trailing Dimmick east
through the greenbelt. Dimmick exited the greenbelt near Ponderosa Court and was met
by a perimeter officer. Dimmick was taken into custody without further incident. He
was found to be in possession of pepper spray and Soboxone.
Dimmick was transported and booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on
felony warrants for felon in possession of a firearm and carrying a concealed dirk or
dagger as well as fresh charges for possession of tear gas, possession of a controlled
substance, resisting arrest, and probation violation.
