No jail time in drug case last year, 7 months later he is back in custody on new charges

 


Yesterday, Ryan Matthew Friend was arrested by HCSO and booked for PC 1203.2(a) probation violation, PC 12022.1 committing a felony while on bail, PC 30305 (a) felon in possession of ammunition and PC 29800(a) felon in possession of a firearm.

In June 2022, Ryan Matthew Friend resolved his drug case with no jail time and one year of probation. 7 months later he is back in custody.

HCSO Press Release:

On Feb. 12, 2023, at about 2:54 p.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to Greenwood Heights Drive near Kneeland to investigate a suspicious occupied vehicle parked in the area.

Deputies contacted two individuals associated with the vehicle, one of which was identified as 48-year-old Ryan Matthew Friend. Friend was found to be on probation. Deputies searched the vehicle pursuant to the terms of Friend’s probation and located an unsecured firearm and ammunition.

Friend was arrested and booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on charges of convicted felon in possession of a firearm (PC 29800(a)), person prohibited in possession of ammunition (PC 30305(a)), committing a felony while out on bail/O.R. (PC 12022.1) and violation of probation (PC 1203.2(a)).

The second individual associated with the vehicle was released at the scene.

2/16: Arraignment was continued to 2/17 by defense because Friend not present. Trial confirmation in the 2023 case is scheduled for 2/28; jury trial for 3/13. The 2022 case and two 2021 cases for probation violation are trailing.

2/28: Trial confirmation continued to 3/2 by defense. Friend unable to appear due to status.

3/2: Friend unable to appear because ill.

3/21: All cases continued to 4/4 at request of DA.

4/4: Another continuance this time by defense to 5/9.

5/9 :CR 2300316 pre trial trailing felony case, continued to 6/15; CR 2202927B preliminary waived, arraignment on 6/15, CR 2101022 VOP and CR 2101611 VOP trailing  felony case. Friend remanded into custody.

6/15: Friend was arraigned on two cases; he has three misdemeanors trailing.  Trial confirmation is on 7/31 and jury trial on 8/7. Deputy Public Defender Ben McLaughlin told Judge Christopher Wilson, "Mr. Harris and I are working to resolve the case. The holdup is the HS 11377 (a) and prior conviction and trying to get the 290 released."

290 is sex offender registration. HS11377 (a) is possession of meth. 

7/31: All cases continued to 8/2.

8/2: Jury trial for 8/7 vacated. Another motion to continue by defense. Future court dates are 12/18/23 and 1/8/2

I have too many other cases to keep wasting time on yet another Humboldt drug addict and felon who keeps racking up cases and checking on endless continuances.
