Thomas Vernon Harwood was arrested by HCSO yesterday for PC 182(a)(1) conspiracy, PC 236 false imprisonment, PC 459/461(a) first degree burglary and PC 211 robbery. Harwood posted bond. The arrest was following a dispatch to a cannabis farm in Miranda.
I did several posts on Harwood. The most recent one in 2022 was about him being the applicant in the complaint filed by County Planner against Second District Supervisor Michelle Bushnell. In 2020, I reported on the plea and case for Harwood, at that time, he was identified the owner of Redway Feed and Garden.
15 cases listed in Humboldt Superior Court with one duplicate listing.
HCSO Press Release (11:32 a.m.)
On July 24, 2023, at about 4:16 p.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a licensed cannabis farm on the 2800 block of French Road in Miranda for the report of an armed robbery.
Deputies contacted an adult male victim with minor injuries as they were responding to the property. The victim told deputies that a former manager of the farm, 49-year-old Thomas Vernon Harwood Jr., arrived at the property unannounced with approximately 10 masked suspects. While there, Harwood reportedly assaulted the victim and detained him in a vehicle on the property. Meanwhile, the masked suspects reportedly stole a large amount of cannabis upon Harwood’s instruction. The victim was able to escape in the vehicle and meet deputies further down the road.
While investigating this incident, law enforcement officers located and detained Harwood nearby. According to witnesses on scene, the masked suspects fled the property in a white Ford pickup truck with concealed license plates. The suspects are described as Hispanic male adults, wearing dark clothing and body armor, possibly in possession of firearms. These suspects are still outstanding at this time.
Harwood was arrested and booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on charges of robbery (PC 211), first degree burglary (PC 459/461(a)), false imprisonment (PC 236) and conspiracy to commit a crime (PC 182(a)(1)).
The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office would like to thank the California Highway Patrol for their assistance during this incident.
