◼ EPD Press Release/Rio Dell Times
On 3-14-2009 at about 4:35 am, Officers of the Eureka Police Department were dispatched to the 100 block of West 7th Street to a reported suspicious vehicle. The reporting party stated that there was a white sedan parked on 7th Street, occupied by at least two subjects with hoods pulled up over their heads.
As units arrived on scene, they located a vehicle matching the description leaving the area. When a traffic stop was attempted on the vehicle, the vehicle fled. When the vehicle reached 5th Street, it sped up to over 100 mph. The vehicle tried to negotiate a N/B turn onto "R" Street, however due to its speed the vehicle impacted into the Pizza Hut building. Three subjects fled from the vehicle, but were taken into custody a short distance away by responding units.
A firearm was located at the 500 block of 5th Street, soon after the pursuits conclusion. The firearm had damage consistent to multiple skid/strikes against the pavement. It is suspected that it was thrown from the vehicle during the pursuit. The firearm will be processed for evidence.
The three suspects are identified as:
Waymond Richard Kelly (26 years old of Eureka) was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility for possession of a controlled substance and a parole hold.
Michael Tray Johns (28 years old of Eureka) was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on a parole hold.
Nathan Aaron Ruptak (27 years old of Eureka) was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on charges of evading the police, resisting arrest, and a parole hold.
Kelly and Johns are persons of interest in the recent home invasion robbery that occurred on 3-6-2009.
This is an active investigation and anyone with information concerning this incident or the home invasion robbery are urged to contact the Eureka Police Department's Criminal Investigations Section at 707-441-4300.
Rio Dell Times seems to be the new place to go for crime reporting.
Now, let's keep these guys locked up before they kill somebody.

Repeat Offenders, armed and dangerous w/update
It's not til you get to the end of the story that you realize - this story hasn't ended yet, and it is going to end badly. Someone is going to end up dead. And when it happens, people are going to ask - why did they keep letting this guy out of jail? In fact, you have to ask, why is he out NOW?

Police are searching for four suspects allegedly involved in an armed robbery that took place at a D Street house in Eureka on Friday morning.
Eureka Police Department spokesman Lt. Murl Harpham said that at around 10 a.m., dispatchers received a call reporting a home invasion in progress at a residence on 14th and D streets. Authorities learned multiple suspects reportedly kicked their way into the house and confronted a woman inside. They were brandishing a shotgun and demanding marijuana.
Police do not yet know how many of those suspects entered the residence, Harpham said. But investigators have identified two of the suspects as Michael Tray Johns, 26, and Waymond Richard Kelly, 25. Both were previously sought by police for parole violations.
You remember WAYMOND - ...(he) Kelly was arrested in 2007 after a string of armed robberies in Eureka. He was found by EPD officers with Zachary Cooke at an abandoned residence on Albee Street. As officers approached the two men, Cooke fired a shotgun and officers returned fire. Cooke, who was shot 11 times in the incident, died at the scene. Kelly was taken into custody.
In 2008, Johns and Kelly were arrested together after an EPD officer spotted them driving a stolen station wagon. The men reportedly fled from police, and were arrested after a high-speed chase. When officers searched their car, they reportedly found shotgun shells and other ammunition in the vehicle.
Authorities urge anyone with information about the alleged robbery or the suspects' whereabouts to contact detectives at 441-4060.

The attached photos are two person of interest in this case and are wanted for parole violation. They are Michael Tray Johns, 26, and Waymond Richard Kelly, 25 .

What's the deal? w/update
Sure seems like crime is up the last few days!
Two arrested, one at-large after Garberville robbery Wrong house, home invasion.
Police bust armed parolee after struggle
Truck stolen, burned, others vandalized
High-speed chase nets two parolees Michael Tray Johns and Waymond Richard Kelly, Katrina Gerace - Waymond Richard Kelly? * - haven't we heard of him before?
Johns was arrested on suspicion of possession of a stolen vehicle, evading a peace officer, possession of stolen property, being a felon in possession of ammunition, resisting or delaying an officer and parole violation, Whitmer said.
Kelly was arrested on suspicion of possession of stolen property, being a felon in possession of ammunition and parole violation, Whitmer said.
Gerace was arrested on suspicion of possession of stolen property, Whitmer said.
The Ford station wagon was reported stolen on Oct. 3 in Eureka.
Whitmer said that while there’s been a recent rash of home invasion robberies in Eureka, there’s no evidence to link the arrested parties with any of those crimes.
“It was coincidental,” Whitmer said of the pistol ammunition found in the vehicle. “As far as I can tell, we just can’t prove anything but two parolees in a stolen car.”

Gallegos' Schizophrenic DA's Office w/update
Attempted murder charge dropped
The Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office announced Thursday it would not pursue some of the charges against a man who had been accused of shooting at a Humboldt County sheriff’s deputy.
The announcement came at a preliminary hearing for Jason Ryan Omholt, 29, of Eureka, who was arraigned in January on charges of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and possession and transportation of methamphetamine...
...Omholt and Cooke, with a third man identified as Waymond Hiat Kelly, are suspected of a string of armed robberies in Eureka and surrounding areas during a four-month period in 2006.
Cooke was shot and killed Jan. 4 in a vacant Albee Street residence during an exchange of gunfire with law enforcement officers.
That same day, Kelly was arrested after a high-speed chase in Mendocino County.
Omholt was arrested the previous day at a Spring Street residence following a standoff with police.
As Klein told the court Thursday he would not move forward with three of the charges against the defendant, Omholt smiled, bobbed his head repeatedly and even stuck out his tongue at Braud, who was seated in the audience.
But the dismissal of charges Thursday did not in any way spell the end of Omholt’s legal troubles.
By one estimate, more than 80 charges are still pending against him, many of which stem from his suspected involvement in the string of seven armed robberies of local gas stations and markets in 2006.
And in the case under consideration Thursday, Omholt will still be held to answer for the methamphetamine charges...
We'll see. Will this play out like the Whitethorn Rapists? Another case of criminals get a pass while regular citizens get prosecuted?
