EPD pursuit of vehicle speeding on 7th and B results in public safe, driver and passenger cited but EPD also ensures passenger safety

 

Just walked up to 6th and E at 10:12 a.m., saw two Eureka Police Department vehicles, two officers including EPD Sgt. Don Arminio. saw Sgt hand the vehicle driver and passenger citation.

Man driving was speeding on 7th and B, Sgt. Arminio in pursuit. The man had suspended registration and no proof of insurance. He was given a correctable citation. The passenger had no seatbelt and was issued a seatbelt safety violation. Sgt. Arminio told the man, "You need to get  her to a place that is safer than where she is sitting."

I spoke with Sgt. Arminio after the vehicle and two officers left and thanked him for keeping the community safe. Sgt. Arminio was very kind and professional in the way he handled the entire interaction. Our local police officers who we know and all law enforcement deserve recognition because much of their work doesn't make headlines.
