On Jan. 29, 2026, at approximately 3:00 p.m., the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Communications Center received a report of a possible burglary in progress at an apartment located on Alpha St. in Eureka.
While deputies were en route they were advised a witness observed a male subject remove a window screen and enter the apartment. Once on scene deputies located a screen on the ground and could hear a person inside. Verbal Commands were issued for the subject to exit the apartment but there was no response.
Additional units were requested to respond to the scene and a perimeter was set up around the apartment. The apartment manager responded to the scene and provided deputies with a key to the residence. Upon opening the front door, deputies heard the subject talking and observed that a refrigerator had been moved and was partially blocking the entryway.

Deputies with the assistance of their K9’s searched the apartment and located the suspect, identified as, 33-year-old Michael Anthony Offutt inside and took him into custody without incident.
Offutt was transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility and booked for:
PC 459- Burglary.
