22 year old Ray Williams Madrone was arrested by EPD yesterday on a Ramey warrant for PC 25800 armed criminal action, PC 25300 criminal possession of a firearm and PC 246 shooting at an inhabited dwelling or occupied vehicle. Madrone was booked on a no bond status.
EPD Assistant Chief Brian Stephens did not know and could not confirm if Ray Madrone is related to Fifth District Supervisor Madrone. Additional weapons and narcotics charges against Madrone will be filed with the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office. Asst Chief Stephens said a press release will be issued later today. I did some google and Facebook searches. That information is included in this post.

There is a Gilroy and a Mckinleyville address for an Amber Madrone in a Humboldt County google search. In the Mckinleyville search, possible connections include Stephen Madrone. There are two Facebook profiles for Ray Madrone, both have Fifth District Supervisor Stephen Madrone and Amber Madrone Anderson under friends. I have no confirmation (as of now) that the Ray Madrone arrested is connected with Supervisor Madrone in any way. If any reader has verifiable information one way or the other, they can contact me.
