Jimmy Dykes arrested for alleged criminal threats and resisting an officer




On 04-27-2018 at approximately 7:25 A.M., a Deputy with the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office was dispatched to contact an adult female regarding a criminal threats investigation.



The Deputy contacted the adult female and learned that Jimmy Dykes had been threatening the safety of the female and her children. The Deputy investigated the threats and determined Dykes had threatened the lives of the female and her family.

The Deputy authored an arrest warrant for Dykes, which was reviewed and signed by a Mendocino County Superior Court Judge. Multiple attempts were made to locate and arrest Dykes during the following days, with negative results.

On 05-16-2018 at approximately 11:20 A.M., the investigating Deputy for this incident was on uniformed patrol while operating a fully-marked patrol vehicle. The Deputy was traveling on Birch Terrace when he observed Dykes pass his location traveling in a vehicle. The Deputy performed a u-turn and found Dykes had abandoned his vehicle and fled into the woods.

A perimeter was established and multiple law enforcement officers and canines were utilized to search the wooded area for Dykes. Personnel from the Willits Police Department and California Highway Patrol assisted with the search efforts and perimeter.

When conducting searches of the area, law enforcement personnel were advised that Dykes had responded to the Willits Police Department to surrender.

The investigating Deputy responded to the Willits Police Department where he advised and placed Dykes under arrest for his felony arrest warrant from this case and for 148(a)(1) PC [Resist, Obstruct, Delay any Peace Officer].

Dykes was subsequently booked into the Mendocino County Jail where he was to be held in lieu of $25,000.00 bail.
