The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office is in the process of applying for grant funding through the California State Parks Off-Highway Motor Vehicle (OHMV) program.
Funds from the OHMV grant support the efforts of Sheriff’s Office’s Beach Deputies whose duties include enforcement of state laws, federal regulations, and Humboldt County Beach Ordinances. Beach Deputies also assist with visitor safety and search and rescue efforts.

The Beach Deputies work closely with volunteer organizations that are concerned with off-highway vehicle usage.
Beginning yesterday, Wednesday, March 3, 2010 through Thursday, April 1, 2010, a draft of the grant application will be available for viewing and public comment at www.ohv.parks.ca.gov.

Humboldt County Sheriff candidate Mike Hislop wants to know who’s been running the department.
Hislop says his opponent, Undersheriff Mike Downey, is “leading people to believe that the Undersheriff actually runs the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office and not the Sheriff.”
Hislop says he’ll do the job himself if elected.
It’s not clear from Hislop’s site what Downey is saying to lead voters astray.
Downey’s website says he has “executive authority over each of the six divisions” of the department. Maybe that’s the offending statement.
A 2006 press release from Sheriff Gary Philp announcing the promotion of Downey to Undersheriff explained the duties of that office:
Undersheriff Downey will assume second-in-command duties of the Sheriff’s Office, including overseeing all bureaus, division, and units within the agency.
Downey has endorsements by many county bigwigs, including Sheriff Philp who is set to retire after his current term expires. But Hislop bumper stickers are on full display near 7th and Broadway.

Humboldt County Sheriff’s Detectives booked two men for murder over the weekend in connection with a case that was originally reported as a missing person. On February 15, 2009 a woman called the Sheriff’s Office to report her adult brother missing. She said she had not heard from him for about two weeks and it was very unusual for him to be out of contact with his family. The woman, who was calling from New York, was unsure of her brother’s exact address but believed he lived in a cabin on Three Creeks Road, off of State Route 299. Throughout the week, Sheriff’s Deputies and Detectives interviewed the man’s roommates and acquaintances. Investigators began to believe the missing man was the victim of a homicide.
The investigation continued and Saturday a search warrant was served at the Three Creeks Road property. Sheriff’s Office personnel, together with a Deputy Corner, discovered human remains at the location. That same day, Sheriff’s Detectives booked two men for the murder of missing man: his roommate, Eddie David Lee, 21, and Limmie Greg Curry III, 19, of Arcata. Curry was also booked for being armed with a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possession of marijuana for sales.
The condition of the remains is being withheld at this time. Further forensic testing will be required to confirm the identification of the remains that were found, however, all evidence indicates they are those of the missing man. The Humboldt County Coroner’s Office will provide the identification of the victim when it is appropriate.
