21 year old arrested for vehicular manslaughter not arraigned yet, could be released from custody today




CHP has still not sent a report to the Humboldt County District Attorney's office so Adrian Pollock was not arraigned this afternoon.

No previous criminal history was mentioned in the press release, and so if there is no other hold on her, she will be released from custody today.

Arraignment for 21 year old charged with vehicular manslaughter in 299 incident tomorrow

If arraignment for Adrian Pollock does not happen on June 21 in the afternoon, she will be released from custody.

CHP Press Release:

On Thursday, June 16, 2016, at 6:09 pm, 21 year old Adrian Pollock of Eureka, CA, was driving her 2008 Dodge pickup eastbound on SR-299 at the East Fork Campground, just west of Willow Creek.  Her passengers were her two young children, her husband, her friend, and a hitchhiker.  For reasons still under investigation, Ms. Pollock lost control of her vehicle in a left hand curve and ran off the south roadway edge of SR-299.  The pickup overturned and the hitchhiker, seated in the right front seat, was fully ejected and sustained fatal injuries.  All surviving occupants were transported to Mad River Community Hospital in Arcata with minor injuries.  The children were properly seated in child passenger safety seats and were uninjured.  Ms. Pollock was subsequently arrested for vehicular manslaughter and booked into the Humboldt County Jail. 

The identity of the deceased passenger is withheld pending notification of family.

DUI was not a factor.  The roadway was not closed.  The vehicle was not impounded.  The California Highway Patrol (CHP) Humboldt Area is investigating this traffic collision.
