21 year old arrested by Rio Dell PD for assault with a deadly weapon and DUI

 


For a small police department, Rio Dell Police Department does a great job. They made an excellent choice to hire Chief Greg Allen. I hope he runs for Sheriff. As a former HCSO Sgt and someone I have seen in the field, in the courts, Chief Allen's  experience, temperament and professionalism is what Humboldt needs.

Rio Dell Police press release:

On Wednesday, April 24, 2024, at approximately 12:54 am, officers from the Rio Dell Police Department were dispatched to the area of Pacific Avenue and Monument Road for a disturbance. Upon arrival, officers located two victims with injuries consistent with a stabbing. Both victims were transported to a local hospital for treatment.

Based on the subsequent investigation, Benjamin Mitchell Sanchez Jr. was arrested and transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility where he was booked for PC 245(a)1) Assault with a Deadly Weapon and VC 23152(a) Driving While Under the Influence. His bail has been set at $35,000.

This investigation is continuing. If you have any information regarding this incident please call the Rio Dell Police Department at 707-764-5642. The Rio Dell Police Department would like to thank the Fortuna Police Department, Ferndale Police Department, and the Rio Dell Volunteer Fire Department for their assistance in this matter.
