On Aug. 28, 2023, at about 7:24 p.m., a Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputy on patrol in the area of School Road in McKinleyville attempted a traffic stop for a vehicle code violation. The vehicle failed to yield, and a pursuit ensued.
The deputy pursued the vehicle onto Highway 101 for approximately three miles, with the pursuit coming to an end at a business on the 5000 block of Valley West Boulevard in Arcata. The driver of the vehicle, 52-year-old Nathan Rhodes Russell, was taken into custody without further incident.
Officers with the Arcata Police Department arrived to assist and conducted a DUI investigation. Officers determined Russell to be over the legal Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) limit.
Russell was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on charges of flight from a traffic officer (VC 2800.1(a)), driving without a license (VC 12500(a)), driving with expired registration (VC 4000(a)(1)), driving under the influence of alcohol (VC 23152(a) & (b)).
The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Arcata Police Department for their assistance with this investigation.
