On Tuesday, September 3, 2024, at approximately 7:32 a.m., it was reported to the University Police Department that an unknown male subject attempted to forcibly take a backpack from a Cal Poly Humboldt employee while they were walking through the Jolly Giant Commons (JGC) parking lot. The victim was able to summon for assistance as the male subject fled the area. The reporting party provided an excellent description of the suspect, which enabled officers to swiftly take action.
Utilizing the detailed witness description and conducting a thorough review of campus CCTV footage, UPD, with the assistance of the Arcata Police Department, successfully located the suspect in the 1600 block of G Street. After further investigation, 45-year-old Joshua Adam Flowers was arrested for Attempted Robbery and transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility where his bail was set at $25,000. Based on this incident, Flowers is banned from the Cal Poly Campus for the next 7 calendar days. If you see Flowers on campus, please alert UPD immediately at 707-826-5555. See attached photo.
The University Police Department would like to thank the witness for their prompt and accurate report, as well as the Arcata Police Department for their cooperation and support in bringing this case to a swift resolution.
