41-year-old Eureka resident Melissa Dale Parker was arrested this morning by Arcata Police Department after they responded to a burglary in progress call. The other two male suspects fled the scene.
Parker was booked and lodged at the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on felony burglary and misdemeanor resistance charges, as well as an active warrant for felony assault.
Parker has several aliases. The complaint is from her 2025 case for PC 245 (a) (4) assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury. The arrest warrant in that case was issued on 1/14/25. No date set as of 12:37 p.m. in that case.
Not counting her family support cases and ignoring the duplicates in Humboldt Superior Court, if you include her 2025 case, she has at least 23 cases in the system. I am not listing tje outcome of every case but there are convictions and dismissals.
