On July 17, 2025, at approximately 10:31 a.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) responded to a report of a vehicle burglary and suspect cashing a stolen check from that burglary in the Redway area.    

The investigation revealed that Charles Warren, 30, of Garberville broke into a vehicle, disabled a game camera, and stole a check book. Warren then attempted to cash a $2,000 fraudulent check at Vocality Community Credit Union in Garberville.

Deputies located Warren at Eel Valley Towing in Redway and subsequently placed him under arrest for theft and for attempting to cash a stolen check. During a search incident to arrest, they found a loaded Glock 10mm handgun in his backpack, which was later confirmed to be stolen.
