I had reported on Codi Owens arrest on July 20. HCSO issued a press release today with details about the arrest.

HCSO arrested him in 2021 for probation violation as well as drugs and firearms charges. He was also arrested in 2015 by the Fortuna Police Department on drug charges and stolen property.
