Convicted felon Allen Perkins's sentencing in CR2303622 was continued by stipulation to 10/24. The court had the probation report & Romero motion but Humboldt Deputy DA Roger Rees both and Deputy Conflict Counsel Zach Curtis were both in trial that day and the court calendar impacted. People had no victim impact statements and opposed Romero motion. The defense motion was denied.
Convicted felon Allen Perkins was sentenced by Humboldt Superior Court Retired Judge Christopher Wilson to 25 years to life for criminal threats in the 2023 case and a concurrent 6-year prison sentence for vandalism.
CR2500428, CR2401907, CR2402006 and CR2402167 were dismissed by the People.
The Humboldt County District Attorney's office issued a press release at 3:48 p.m.
DA Press Release:
Today, the Honorable Judge Christopher Wilson sentenced Allen Keith Perkins, age 54, to serve 25 years to life in prison for criminal threats, as well as a concurrent 6-year prison sentence for vandalism. Perkins was convicted by a Humboldt County jury on July 24, 2025, following a multiple week jury trial presided over by Judge Wilson.
Perkins, who has an extensive criminal history, including convictions for felony domestic violence, narcotics offenses, DUI, theft, felony evading, burglary, firearm & other weapon violations, was sentenced under California’s Three Strikes Law as he suffered two prior strike convictions for criminal threats. The crimes for which Perkins was sentenced this morning, stemmed from events that occurred on December 6, 2023, when Perkins attempted to run a 59-year-old woman off the roadway in Old Town, Eureka. At one point, while the woman was stopped in her vehicle, Perkins exited his vehicle, armed himself with a weapon and approached the woman. He then made threats to physically harm her. She fled to a nearby safe location, just before Perkins smashed her car window and took items from inside her car. Mr. Perkins was located a short distance away by Eureka Police Officers and taken to jail. There was no pre-existing relationship between Perkins and his victim.
The case was prosecuted by Senior Deputy District Attorney Roger Rees, with assistance from District Attorney Investigator Martin Morris, and District Attorney Victim Witness Advocate Michala Pelren. Local defense attorney Zachary Curtis represented Mr. Perkins.
In response to Judge Wilson’s sentencing decision, District Attorney Stacey Eads said, “With the hard work and dedication of many, including members of the jury and local law enforcement, Mr. Perkins has now been held accountable for his crimes and our community is a safer place.”
11/3/25: Perkins has a civil lawsuit against HCSO. The CMC scheduled today was "not heard." There were no appearances and no proof of service was filed. Another CMC is scheduled for 5/1/26. With Perkins in prison; there is no reason for me to continue updating on this case; especially after what happened today.
