Resident of Shirley Blvd describes running into Bodhi Tree who said "Peace"

Christopher Hollis, a resident of Shirley Boulevard said after following LOCO and Arcata Eye stories online, he was aware that there was an Eye suspect. He was walking his daughter and a friend home when they ran into Bodhi Tree. Hollis recognized him as the potential suspect from a description. He was wearing grey "sweatgear."

As Tree walked past them, he said "Peace" in a low voice. While Mr. Hollis did not think he was in danger of being shot in broad daylight, he wanted to get the girls to safety and said his fatherly instinct took over.

Tree was walking slowly and as if he was fatigued. Hollis got his daughter and her friend to safety. They locked their door and called the police. Later they saw the police arrest and bring Tree out of the bushes.
