Original Press Release:
On Saturday, November 16, 2018 at about 07:30 a.m. Humboldt County Sheriff Deputies responded to the gas station at the Blue Lake Casino for a report of an armed robbery.
Upon arrival, deputies learned that a white male adult entered the gas station armed with a firearm and demanded the money in the cash register. The male subject left the gas station with undisclosed amount of money and attempted to carjack a customer outside the gas station.
The male subject was contacted in that vehicle by Blue Lake Casino Security and brandished the firearm in their direction. He subsequently fled the area on foot and later carjacked a vehicle from the same area.
Evidence was collected at the scene and the incident is still under investigation. The identity of the suspect is being confirmed at this time.
