EPD arrests 9, some suspected gang associates, has and cash involved

On Wednesday, February 11, 2015, multiple Humboldt County law enforcement
agencies, led by the Eureka Police Department, conducted an anti-crime/antigang
sweep targeting nearly two dozen identified gang members and gang
associates. The sweep was in response to a perceived increase in gang-related
crime in the greater Eureka area. Over the past several months, EPD has seized
several firearms from known or suspected criminal street gang members
encountered by our officers.
Approximately 22 investigators from multiple agencies including the Eureka
Police Department, Fortuna Police Department, Humboldt County Sheriff’s
Office, Humboldt County Probation Department, Humboldt County District
Attorney’s Office, and U.S. Marshals Office participated in the operation. The
gang task force conducted arrest warrant services and probation and parole
searches at approximately 19 locations in the Eureka, Cutten, and McKinleyville
areas. The majority of these locations were located within the City limits of
Eureka.
During the approximately 7-hour operation, the task force arrested a total of 9
suspects on a multitude of fresh charges and outstanding warrants. Not all of
those arrested were gang members or associates. Narcotics were also seized
and a hash lab and suspected counterfeit bill operation were dismantled.
The following subjects were arrested during the gang sweep:
 Shannon Edward Campbell (age 39) was contacted at a residence on
the 600 block of Summer Street, Eureka. During a search of his residence,
officers located a butane hash oil lab and evidence Campbell may be
counterfeiting money. Officers seized the hash and cash manufacturing
equipment along with $740.00 in counterfeit bills. Additionally, Campbell
was found to be in possession of a small quantity of methamphetamine
and heroin. Campbell was arrested and transported to the Humboldt
County Correctional Facility where he was booked for possession of a
controlled substance and parole violation. Additional charges for
manufacturing a controlled substance (hash) and possession of fraudulent
currency are expected to follow.
 Racheal Michelle Naze (age 29) was arrested for possession of heroin at
the same residence on the 600 block of Summer Street. Naze was also
transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility.
 Kou Her (age 29) was contacted at a residence on the 1800 block of A
Street, Eureka. Her was taken into custody for two felony probation
violation warrants and transported to the Humboldt County Correctional
Facility.
 Jason Mickel Losey (age 31) was contacted at a residence on the 200
block of West Del Norte Street, Eureka. Losey was arrested on a felony
warrant alleging violation of his Post Release Community Supervision and
transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility.
 Three subjects were taken into custody at an apartment building on the
800 block of H Street, Eureka. Lori Lynn Beaty (age 20) was arrested on
a warrant for possession of a controlled substance. Lane Korry Jacaway
(age 30) was arrested on a felony parole violation warrant. Tracy Lee
Adams, Jr. (age 25) was arrested on warrants for probation violation and
assault with a deadly weapon (felony). All three suspects were
transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility.
 Kevin Lee Haberman (age 36) was arrested at a residence on the 2100
block of Home Drive, Eureka. During a search of the residence, officers
located approximately 4.5 pounds of processed marijuana and
ammunition for a firearm. Haberman was transported to the Humboldt
County Correctional Facility where he was booked for possession of
marijuana for sale, felon in possession of ammunition, and parole
violation.
 Courtney Ann Garrett (age 25) was contacted by officers while walking in
the vicinity of 11th and M Streets, Eureka. Garrett was taken into custody
on a felony warrant for possession of a controlled substance and
transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility.
“We want those who identify themselves as gang members in our community to
know we will not tolerate activity that endangers our citizens and officers,” said
EPD Captain Steve Watson. “I ask people to share what they know about gang
activity and other crimes occurring in Eureka. Community partnerships with the
police that focus on solving problems rather than merely reacting to them help
deter crime. I encourage you to get involved with a neighborhood watch group
and/or volunteer with EPD, and help build a productive partnership with your
police department.”
