Convicted felon Rhett Alex August was arrested by HCSO yesterday on a Ramey warrant for criminal threats, PC273 a (a) child endangerment likely to cause great bodily injury and harm, PC30305 (a) felon in possession of ammunition, PC 29800 (a) (1) felon in posession of a firearm, PC 245(a) (2) assault with a firearm on a person, PC 246 shooting at an inhabited dwelling or occupied car and PC 246.3 (a), negligent discharge of a firearm. Bail is $150,000.
August was arrested for an incident in Blue Lake.
Many will remember August from the Bodhi Tree case. I feel sorry for his mother who I spoke with during my coverage of the Tree case. August left for a while but when he moved back to Humboldt, he added to his criminal record.
HCSO Press Release (2:16 p.m.)
On March 13, 2022, at about 2:37 p.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a residence on Larson Heights Road near Blue Lake for the report of a drive-by shooting occurring earlier that morning.
Deputies arrived at the residence and contacted multiple residents at the home, including young children. Deputies learned that earlier in the day, at about 6 a.m., a suspect fired multiple gunshots toward the residence, striking a vehicle parked outside. No one was injured as a result of this incident. Through their investigation, deputies identified the suspect as 33-year-old Rhett Alex August of Eureka.
At about 9:30 p.m. that evening, deputies executed a search warrant at a residence associated with August on the 1000 block of Westgate Road in Eureka. During this operation, deputies deployed HCSO K9 Yahtzee and August surrendered without incident.
August was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on charges of shooting at an inhabited dwelling (PC 246), assault with a firearm on a person (PC 245(a)(2)), child endangerment with potential of great bodily injury (PC 273a(a)), discharging a firearm in gross neglect (PC 246.3(a)), felon in possession of a firearm (PC 29800(a)(1)), prohibited person in possession of ammunition (PC 30305(a)) and criminal threats (PC 422).
This case is still under investigation.
