Eureka Police Department press release:
Adams
On 10/18/18 at approximately 5:17 P.M., Officers of the Eureka Police
Department were dispatched to a vandalism that had just occurred at a business
located at the 400 block of 2nd Street. The reporting party (RP) explained that a
female subject had thrown an unknown item through the window of the business.
The RP was able to provide a description of the subject.
Shortly thereafter, another vandalism incident was reported at a business located
at the 700 block of 5th Street. The RP of this incident explained that a subject had
broken a window by hitting it with a metal pole. The description of the subject
closely matched the subject from the prior vandalism.
Responding officers located a female subject nearby, who closely matched the
description(s) provided by the RPs. Officers attempted to contact the female
subject but she fled on foot. Officers pursued her. When officers caught up with
her, she resisted their attempts to detain her. After a brief altercation, she was
detained.
The RP’s from the two vandalisms responded to the location that the female was
detained and positively identified her. The subject, identified as Amber Robina
Adams (35 years old), was subsequently arrested for two counts of felony
vandalism and resisting arrest.
Adams was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on her fresh
charges and is being held on $55,000 bail.
