EPD Press Release (May 2015):

On March 17, 2015, at about 7:30 AM, Eureka Police Department officers and detectives with the Problem Oriented Policing Unit served a search warrant at a
transient encampment located in the greenbelt area just north of the Bayshore Mall. The warrant was obtained after EPD received information from multiple
sources that the residents of the illegal camp were in possession of a cache of firearms and dealing methamphetamine.

During a search of the encampment, officers located ammunition, 5 firearms, methamphetamine, and stolen property. Approximately 80 yards of trash and
junk was removed from the illegal encampment by City clean-up crews (3 large dumpsters were filled).
Suspect Timothy Lynn Stockhoff (age 53 of Eureka) was arrested and booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility for felon in possession of a
firearm, felon in possession of ammunition, possession of stolen property and possession of methamphetamine. He has since been released from custody
after posting bail.

Timothy’s son, Joshua Allen Stockhoff (age 27 of Eureka), was not located at the time the search warrant was served. A short-barreled (sawed-off) 20-gauge
shotgun and ammunition was located in his tent. Joshua Stockhoff is currently wanted by EPD on multiple felonies including: felon in possession of a firearm,
felon in possession of ammunition, and possession of a short-barreled shotgun.

EPD investigators recovered a trail camera outside of Joshua Stockhoff’s tent containing images showing him carrying firearms. The .30 caliber M1 carbine he
is depicted holding has been recovered. However, a small pistol in a holster attached to his belt has not been located.
