On September 4, I did a post about four Four HCSO vehicles with lights and sirens headed towards Eureka. I contacted HCSO PIO Meghan Ruiz. Today, I heard from her.
"These vehicles were likely en route to respond to a pursuit that occurred on Wednesday, Sept. 4. Joshua Buchanan, age 37 of Eureka, was driving a van marked as a Redwood Plumbing and Drain Cleaning vehicle when he made multiple traffic violations, endangered other drivers on the road, and failed to comply with law enforcement. HCSO, CHP, and EPD ultimately stopped Buchanan and performed an evaluation on him, deeming him to be under the influence of a controlled substance. Buchanan was arrested and the vehicle was towed.
Buchanan was booked at the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on Sept. 4 around 3:30 p.m. for evading a police officer (VC2800.2). He posted bond.
30 cases come up in a search for his name in e court.
Charges were filed on 9/6 in this case and Buchanan was arraigned the same day. Public Defender's office was appointed. Bail set at $25,000 by Judge Kaleb Cockrum. OR bail 9/10; preliminary hearing on 9/18.
On 9/10, Buchanan failed to appear for court. Bench warrant issued for $35,000 by Judge Steven Steward and the bail bond was forfeited. Preliminary hearing date for 9/18 was vacated.
