On
02-17-2016 at about 2:20 pm an Officer with the Yurok Tribal Police Department
observed Tays Salazar age 40 driving a white Mitsubishi vehicle on Highway 169,
Pecwan. The Tribal Officer was aware that Salazar was identified as the suspect
in the robbery of the Orick Market on 02-13-2016.
The
Tribal Officer conducted a Felony car stop on the vehicle Salazar was driving.
When Salazar was contacted he refused the officer’s commands to prone out on
the ground. The Tribal Officer at first used pepper spray on Salazar in an
attempt to gain compliance. The pepper spray was ineffective. The Tribal
Officer then struck Salazar one time on his knee with a baton to gain
compliance for an arrest. Salazar was then taken into custody without further
incident.
A Sergeant with the Humboldt County Sheriff’s
Office arrived on scene after the arrest. Salazar was transported to a local
hospital for medical clearance, prior to being transported to the Humboldt
County Correctional Facility in Eureka. Salazar was cleared by the hospital
with no serious injury due to being struck with the baton.
Salazar
was then booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility for the Armed
Robbery of the Orick Market. Salazar’s bail was set at $60,000 dollars.
