Rio Dell Police Department press release:
On September 30, 2018 at about 10:30 p.m., two young men, aged sixteen and eighteen, arrived at a house in Rio Dell
with the intended purpose of purchasing marijuana. However, the transaction did not take place and one of the young
men pulled a gun, claiming, “This is the way we do it in Sacramento” and took the five pounds of marijuana that had
been offered for sale. The two men fled in a silver Toyota Camry.
The Rio Dell Police Department broadcast this information to the other law enforcement agencies in Humboldt County.
Shortly thereafter, two California Highway Patrol officers observed a car that matched the description of the suspect’s
vehicle. It was registered out of Sacramento.
They observed that the car was weaving and pulled it over on US 101 near
Hooker Creek Road. Inside of the car, they found the five pounds of marijuana; two loaded firearms, both of which had
been reported stolen; and approximately $4400 in cash.
The two men were detained until they could be arrested by the
Rio Dell Police Department for robbery, possession of a loaded firearm, possession of a concealed firearm, possession of
stolen property and possession of marijuana.
Both young men were booked into detention facilities, the sixteen‐year‐
old into Juvenile Hall and the eighteen‐year‐old in the Humboldt County Correctional Facility.
