Press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office:

On March 12 around 11:30 p.m., a Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputy was on patrol on Herrick Ave. in Eureka when he observed a suspicious vehicle parked along the side of the road. The deputy stopped and observed a male subject exit the vehicle. 

The male stated that the vehicle belonged to his girlfriend, “Tori,” who was not present. He further stated that the female with him was named “Crystal”. During this investigation, the deputy identified the female subject and owner of the vehicle as Tori Attebery, 33, of Hoopa, who had a warrant for her arrest. The male later admitted to providing false information due to being unsure if Attebery had a warrant. Attebery was subsequently placed under arrest without incident for the warrant.  The vehicle was searched, incident to the arrest.  The deputy located fentanyl and drug paraphernalia including a meth pipe and several hypodermic needles inside of the vehicle. 

Attebery was then transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility and booked for the arrest warrant, possessing a controlled substance (HS 11350)(a)) and possessing drug paraphernalia (HS 11364)(a)).

Anyone with information about this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office at (707) 445-7251 or the Sheriff’s Office Crime Tip line at (707) 268-2539.
