Press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office:

On Nov. 25, 2019, at about 6:15 a.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the Humboldt Redwood Company’s (HRC) access gate on Mattole Road in Scotia for the report of multiple protesters obstructing a logging truck.

When deputies arrived on scene, they located six protesters on private property. Deputies informed the protesters that they were illegally trespassing and ordered them to leave the property. While there deputies recognized one protester, 33-year-old Sarah Marie Luttio, who was known to deputies to have a court-issued order restricting her from entering HRC property. Luttio was arrested on the scene. A second subject, 23-year-old Daniel Joseph Schurman, refused to leave the property when ordered. As deputies approached Schurman to place him under arrest, Schurman fled and was quickly apprehended.

While on scene deputies also found a third protester, 24-year-old Isabel Xochitl Osheroff, had attached herself via a protesting device to the undercarriage of the logging truck and refused deputies’ orders to vacate the property. Osheroff was also found to be in violation of a court-issued order restricting her from entering HRC property.

Deputies safely removed Osheroff from the protesting device and took her into custody.

Luttio was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on charges of: unlawful assembly (PC 407), trespassing (PC 602(h)(1), 602(k) and 602(o)) and violation of a court order (PC 166(a)(1).

Osheroff was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on charges of: resisting arrest (PC 148(a)(1)), trespassing (PC 602(h)(1), 602(k) and 602(o)), unlawful assembly (PC 407), refusal to disperse (PC 409) and violation of a court order (PC 166(a)(1).
