This time when Nathan La Count is arrested, Humboldt Judges do your job and keep him in custody




 The only way to ensure Nathan LaCount's  appearance and stop wasting resources is to put him on no bail status, no more plea deals and no more chances. All Humboldt Judges and the jail should not to release him before his cases go through the judicial process. His sentence should be prison just on his multiple violations of probation



California's pro criminal laws are a disaster. Now it is worse since criminals are taking full advantage of COVID 19, and Gavin Newsom continues to ignore risks to public safety that are inconvenient for him.

DA Press Release:

The  District Attorney’s  Office  seeks  assistance from  the community  with the apprehension  of  Nathan Michael  LaCount  (age  40),  who  has  outstanding  “no-bail” arrest  warrants for:  causing injury  while driving under  the combined influence of  drugs  and alcohol,  hit  and run causing injury,  child endangerment,  and conspiracy.

 Since 1999,  LaCount  has  been convicted  of  DUI  8 times  in addition  to multiple convictions  for  evading law  enforcement  and  hit  and  run.  He  has  been offered many  programs  and been given many opportunities  to  alter  his  behavior.  He presents  an ongoing threat  to public  safety.

In February  of  this  year,  LaCount  pled  guilty  to  charges  linked  to incidents  in  2016  and  2019.  In the 2016  incident,  LaCount  crashed a vehicle causing injury  to a  passenger,  whom  he left  on  the side of the road and fled the  scene.

In the 2019 incident,  LaCount  drove while  methamphetamine-impaired and crashed again,  this  time  causing injury  to  his  3-year-old  child. 

At  his  sentencing  on  March  11,  2020,  Judge  Cockrum  gave  LaCount  the  opportunity  to attend the Delancey  Street  Foundation,  an  in-patient  residential  drug/alcohol  treatment  facility  in San  Francisco, to be  followed by  a term  of  probation.

The  judge also  gave LaCount  an 8-year  prison  sentence recommended by  the  District  Attorney’s  Office,  but  suspended that  sentence  pending  successful completion  of  the  Delancey  Street  program  and probation. On April  10,  2020, the  District Attorney’s  Office  learned  that  LaCount  had  walked  away  from  the Delancey  Street  Foundation.

Judge Cockrum  issued  arrest  warrants  for  LaCount  that  same  day  and set  bail  at  $100,000 if  law  enforcement  captured LaCount. On April  18,  2020,  Humboldt  County  Sheriff’s  deputies  arrested  LaCount  for  the outstanding warrants and booked  him  into  the Humboldt  County  Correctional  Facility.  Prior  to being arraigned in court, LaCount  bailed out  of  custody  and was  given  a court  date  of  July  13,  2020. 

LaCount  failed to appear at that  court  date  and  Judge Cockrum  issued  “no bail”  warrants  for  his  arrest. Historically,  LaCount  frequents  the  Garberville/Redway  area,  possibly  in the  company  of  his  wife Melissa LaCount.

If  you have information  regarding  LaCount’s  whereabouts,  please contact  your  local  law  enforcement agency  immediately.
