Physical fight in Willow Creek results in arrest of a man for marijuana plants

n Tuesday, October 13, 2015 at about 3:30 p.m. the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office received a call of a physical fight between a man and a woman at a residence on the 40500 block of Hwy 299, Willow Creek. It was reported that one of the subjects had a baseball bat.
Deputies arrived on scene and requested entrance to the house to check on those reported fighting. The subject who answered the door, arrestee Alexander James Fugini-Laws, age 24, of Willow Creek, refused deputies entrance to the residence. Deputies explained they were only there to check on the report of a physical fight and not there for the marijuana garden that was visible from the road. Fugini-Laws refused and stated deputies were not allowed entrance without a search warrant.
