Suspect arrested for voluntary manslaughter, criminal threats, assault and other charges


On Feb. 2, 2022, at about 10 a.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies served an arrest warrant at a Hoopa residence on a man wanted in relation to the fentanyl-caused death of a Weitchpec woman.

When deputies arrived at the residence, the man, 30-year-old James Charles Williamson II, was seen fleeing into a wooded area. Deputies pursued Williamson and took him into custody shortly after.

Williamson was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on fresh charges of resisting a peace officer (PC 148(a)(1)), in addition to warrant charges of voluntary manslaughter (PC 192(a)), criminal threats (PC 422), assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm (PC 245(a)(1)), vandalism (PC 594(b)(2)(A)), assault (PC 240), battery (PC 242), false imprisonment (PC 236) and violation of probation.
