Checking with EPD to see if this call or arrest is related to EPD investigation in the early hours of this morning

(Sanderson)

Yesterday, around 11:40 p.m. Eureka Police Department responded to an assault and battery call at the 800 block of Pine Street.

Most arrests from today will be on tomorrow's jail log report. Since EPD is investigating an alleged incident that occurred last night to early a.m., best to wait for some initial information or a press release. 

22 year old LoriAnn Michelle Sanderson is the only arrest from today on the 9/15/24 jail log. EPD made this arret at 2:09 a.m. for VC 23152 (a) DUI, VC 23152(b) blood alcohol content over the legal limit and VC 14601(a) driving with a suspended license. Since Sanderson was released on O.R. 

I just contacted EPD PIO Laura Montagna to see if she is able to release any information about the 11:40 call or if Sanderson's arrest is related to this investigation which I doubt based on the charges. "The Pine St incident is not related to Sanderson," PIO Montagna confirmed. 

She is going to get back to me about the Pine Street incident. A press release was issued at 11:38 a.m. on 9/16.
