On Feb. 19., at 7:42 a.m., Humboldt County Sheriff deputies, assisted by the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Problem Oriented Policing (POP) Team served a search warrant at a residence located in the 2300 block of Lee Ln. in Eureka.
The warrant was the result of an ongoing investigation into the use and possession of narcotics, and suspected child endangerment involving 49-year-old suspect Gilbert Modesto Barff.
Upon service of the warrant, deputies contacted Barff inside the residence, where his 10-year-old son also resides. Barff was found to be in possession of fentanyl and drug paraphernalia.
