On March 15th, 2019, at approximately 11:35 a.m., Special Agents with the Humboldt County Drug Task Force conducted a traffic stop in the 4200 block of Mitchell Road, Eureka. Agents previously identified Rolando Cornejo-Becerra (age 28) and Crystal Linda Dockstader (age 28) as a narcotics dealers in Humboldt County and obtained a search warrant for their vehicles and residence.

During the traffic stop, Cornejo-Becerra placed his vehicle into reverse and slammed into a law enforcement vehicle. The collision was non-injury and both suspects were detained without further incident. With the assistance of a narcotic detection K9’s from the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office, the Arcata Police Department, and Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, agents located approximately 3.5 pounds of suspected methamphetamine packaged for sales and several firearms.
