A Humboldt County Superior Court judge ruled this morning there is sufficient evidence to try two men in connection with the alleged drug-related murder of a 27-year-old Eureka man.
According to information from the Humboldt County District Attorney's Office, Jason Leon Belles, 31, and Jonathan Henry Watson, 30, were bound over for trial after their preliminary hearing, which concluded today.
The men are suspected of going to the home of Garrett Ryan Benson on the evening of Dec. 3. The District Attorney's Office has alleged, at least one of the men entered the home with a weapon in an attempt to rob Benson. In an ensuing struggle, Benson was shot three times.
After searching the house, investigators reported finding a significant amount of marijuana was being grown and processed inside the home, according to the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office.
The men are scheduled for arraignment on Feb. 5.
Plea deal announced in 1 - 2 - 3 - - taking odds, whaddya say? 6 years? Out in 3? But "they're going away." Uh huh.
