From the Humboldt County Drug Task Force:
Over the past two years the Humboldt County Drug Task Force (HCDTF), Eureka Police Department Problem Oriented Police Team (POP), as well as Eureka Police Officers and Humboldt County Sheriff Deputies, have responded to a problem drug house in the 3100 block of Glen St. in Eureka multiple times for complaints of drug sales, weapons violations, shootings, and other criminal behavior that has terrorized the neighborhood.
Responding to numerous neighbor complaints the HCDTF served another drug related search warrant at the residence on Tuesday April 19. The HCDTF located 7 people inside the residence and detained them without incident. Agents arrested three people inside the home, and they were booked at the Humboldt County Jail for the following charges:
Cameron Thompson (28 years old from Eureka) is the home-owner and he was arrested for a felony warrant for drug sales as well as a fresh charge of 11366 H&S (operating or maintaining a drug house).
Rachael Vetterkind (30 years old from Eureka) lives in the residence and was arrested for a felony warrant for drug sales as well as a fresh charge of 11366 H&S (operating or maintaining a drug house).
Latasha Haslam (29 years old from Eureka) was visiting the residence and was arrested for a felony warrant for 10851 VC (possession of a stolen vehicle).
Agents located several code enforcement violations on the property. The City of Eureka Code Enforcement Unit responded to the scene and conducted an inspection of the property. The violations were found to be severe enough that code enforcement removed all people from the property and secured the residence and property so nobody could enter.
The HCDTF would like to thank the City of Eureka Code Enforcement Unit for their assistance with this investigation. Anyone with information related to this investigation or other narcotics related crimes are encouraged to call the Humboldt County Drug Task Force at 707-267-9976.
