McKinleyville Assault: 1000 block of Griffith Road (just south of School Road near 101) - HCSO responded code 3 to reports of an assault in progress. Deputies were initially sent to a different address but diverted to the Griffith address after receiving additional information. Deputies arrived on scene and made entry to the home where they discovered the victims and reported that both had severe head trauma. Fire and medical personnel who were staged nearby were cleared to enter and a second code 3 ambulance was requested. Deputies were out with at least one possible suspect. Both victims are being transported to area hospitals by ambulance with what sound like major injuries. CHP units were also requested to assist.

Willow Creek Drowning Update: The victim on the rocks was just hoisted out by the Coast Guard helicopter and is being flown to the old Willow Creek airstrip/Big Rock area where they will be transferred to the ambulance.

NOAA is reporting flows on the Trinity River at the Hoopa gage to be approximately 8,500 CFM at 17.5 feet. This is just slightly lower than flows during last month’s drowning incident disappearance in the river on April 22, which occurred several miles downstream near the Tish Tang Campground. Flow on April 22 at the Hoopa gage was in the 10,000-12,000 CFM range, though it was rising sharply throughout the day and the days that followed.

HCSO’s communication center was being tied up with 911 calls demanding arrestees be released. Radio traffic from the search and rescue case in Hoopa has been disrupted by everything going on, but it sounds like a very unfortunate outcome up there.

CHP H-14 has now been diverted from the search and rescue to respond to Cal Poly Humboldt

Cal Poly Humboldt Riot Update: CHP H-14 is going to be heading to ACV for fuel shortly. They are inquiring if they will be needed for the incident at Cal Poly Humboldt after fueling, which would obviously remove them from the Hoopa search and rescue. Fire and medical are being requested code 3 to Cal Poly for staging. All agencies in the county are being asked to send any available units to assist. HCSO has a code 33 in effect on their frequency now. Their frequency was being utilized for some traffic on the Hoopa search and rescue

A Code 30 has been declared for the Cal Poly Incident. Needless to say, resources are being stretched extremely thin between the multiple major incidents unfolding throughout the county.

CHP H-14 is flying back upstream to assist with the family member in the water.

Cal Poly Humboldt: A large group of protesters gathered earlier in the Siemens Hall area near the university president’s office. The situation escalated and University police requested assistance from Eureka and Arcata Police Departments as well as the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office.

The crowd seems to be continuing to escalate and officers are reporting that several suspects have now pushed their way past officers into the building.

Hawkins Bar Traffic Collision: An HCSO deputy is reportedly involved in a rollover traffic collision in Trinity County. Reports are putting it between Salyer and Hawkins Bar near mile marker 2.45 on Highway 299. It initially appears that this was a single vehicle collision and the vehicle came to rest on its left side.
