"Creeper" aka Anthony Manuel Burgess has not learned from his 2012 arrest except for wearing a wig to avoid being arrested

EPD Press Release (today):

On 1/25/15, at about 11:20 AM, Eureka Police Department officers were dispatched to a
suspicious persons call at the rear of a residence on the 900 block of G Street, Eureka.
One of the involved subjects was reported to have left on a bicycle after jumping a
backyard fence.
A responding officer saw a male matching the suspect’s description riding a bicycle away
from the vicinity of the call. The officer attempted to stop the male after he failed to stop
for the stop sign located on westbound 9th Street at G Street. The subject, later identified
as Anthony Manuel Burgess (age 22 of Eureka), then fled from the officer on his bike.
During a brief ensuing pursuit, Burgess failed to stop at the stop sign located on
northbound B Street at 7th Street. He was struck by an eastbound vehicle on 7th Street
and ejected from the bike. Burgess then jumped to his feet and ran into the parking lot of
a nearby business where he was subsequently taken into custody by officers without
further incident.
During a search incident to Burgess’ arrest, a loaded .357 handgun and a stun gun were
found in a bag he was carrying. Burgess was also wearing a wig. Officers suspect the
wig was an attempt on his part to avoid detection from law enforcement.
At the time of his arrest, Burgess was out on bail following an incident in early January
where he dropped a loaded firearm while fleeing from a different EPD officer.
Additionally, EPD responded to another incident involving Burgess last week where he
reportedly brandished a firearm at an individual during an altercation. Burgess
successfully evaded apprehension in that case after he fled from an officer who spotted
him in the vicinity.
Burgess was transported to a local hospital where he was treated for minor injuries he
sustained during his collision with the vehicle. He was then transported to the Humboldt
County Correctional Facility where he was booked on numerous fresh charges including:
convicted felon in possession of a firearm, felon in possession of ammunition, carrying a
concealed firearm, felon carrying a loaded firearm in public, felon in possession of a stun
gun, participation in a criminal street gang, resisting/obstructing a peace officer, fleeing
the scene of a collision, committing a felony crime while out on bail, and possession of a
loaded firearm while under the influence of a controlled substance.
Additionally, officers contacted the on-call magistrate and requested a bail enhancement.
His bail was subsequently increased to $250,000.00 and he remains in custody as of the
time of this release.

EPD Press Release (from 2012):

According to a news release from the Eureka Police Department, dated Feb. 3, 2012:
On Feb. 1 through Feb. 2, 2012, investigators and agents from multiple federal, state, and local agencies participated in a two day anti-crime/anti-gang sweep in Humboldt County.  The operation was planned and coordinated by the FBI’s North Bay Regional Gang Task Force under their Safe Streets Violent Crime Initiative. (“SSTFs focus primarily upon street gang and drug-related violence and address specific violent crime problems through the teaming of federal, state, and local law enforcement officers and prosecutors.”).

The operation was hosted by the Eureka Police Department and the teams were led locally by the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office’s Community Response Unit (CRU) and the Eureka Police Department’s Problem Oriented Policing Unit (POP).  Approximately 22 agents and investigators with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation/Parole (CDCR), Humboldt County Probation Department, U.S. Marshall’s Office, Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, and Eureka Police Department participated in the gang task force sweep.  Over a two-day period, the task force executed a series of parole and probation searches at various locations within Humboldt County primarily targeting previously identified members of violent street and/or prison gangs.  These targeted searches were designed to gather intelligence, identify gang members and gang associates, and make arrests as appropriate.

During the course of the operation, a total of 15 suspects were arrested for various offenses ranging from misdemeanor and felony warrants, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance (heroin and methamphetamine), possession of marijuana for sale, and parole and probation violations.  Approximately 10 of those arrested were documented gang members.  Those arrested during the gang sweep include:

Jeremy Dean Wildman (moniker: Looney”), age 35 of Eureka, was arrested for possession of marijuana for sale after investigators found nearly 5 pounds of processed marijuana and multiple digital scales in his apartment on the 100 block of West Del Norte Street, Eureka.
Scott Ryan Campbell (moniker: “Droopy”), age 35 of Eureka, was arrested for a felony warrant alleging violation of his post release community supervision.  Campbell was contacted with Wildman at his West Del Norte Street residence.
Anthony Manuel Burgess (moniker: “Creeper”), age 19, was arrested for violation of his probation at a cottage on the 2900 block of California Street, Eureka.
Corey Allen Cole (moniker: “Sinner”), age 29, was arrested for violation of his parole at the same cottage where investigators encountered Burgess.
Zachery Jacob Chapman, age 34, was arrested in McKinleyville for a violation of his parole.
