380-call Humboldt law enforcement log details multiple arrests Feb. 5 to 8

Local law enforcement agencies recorded a flurry of late-night activity in early February, with arrest reports and calls-for-service entries showing serious allegations and dozens of traffic and welfare responses across Eureka, Arcata, Fortuna and county roads. The volume and variety of incidents underscore ongoing public-safety pressures for residents and first responders.

A consolidated calls log cited in local reporting is described as a "380-call daily log" and includes, among other entries, "12:07 a.m., EPD DISTURBANCE, 3300 block of LOWELL ST." Arrest reports compiled separately list six people taken into custody Feb. 6–7 on charges ranging from DUI and drug offenses to alleged kidnapping and felony child abduction. The arrest entries name the suspects, arresting officers and the times provided in agency summaries.

The named arrests include PATRICK JOSEPH REX, arrested at 12:30 a.m. on 02/07/2026 by "Other Humboldt County Law Enforcement / Officer Mayr." His incarceration status is listed as Bench Warrant; Refused by Medical and charges include WI 10980(c)(2): Felony child abduction and PC 118(a): Perjury. RICHARD WAYNE KINGMAN was arrested at 1:06 a.m. on 02/07/2026 by Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office / Deputy N. Nova, listed as held on a Foreign Warrant with charges including PC 1203.2(a): Violation of probation (2 counts) and VC 14601.2(b): Driving with a suspended license due to DUI [...]. THOMAS WILLIAM CARLSON was booked as a fresh arrest at 1:29 a.m. on 02/07/2026 by Eureka Police Department / Officer Mihalov on HS 11350(a), HS 11550(a) and PC 1203.2(a). ELIZABETH ROSE O’LEARY was arrested at 1:40 a.m. on 02/07/2026 by Arcata Police Department / Officer Backman for VC 23152(a) and VC 23152(b) [...]. On 02/06/2026, RUFUS WILLIAM COOKE was arrested at 9:50 p.m. by Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office / Deputy Nova on a Ramey Warrant and faces PC 273.5(a), PC 273.6(b) and PC 207(a). RODERICK ANDREW BROWN was arrested at 9:26 p.m. on 02/06/2026 by California Highway Patrol – Garberville / Officer Estrada on VC 23152(a) and VC 23152(b).

Separate calls-for-service excerpts time-stamped Feb. 8 show a steady stream of traffic stops, patrol checks, welfare checks and disturbance reports between midnight and 3:23 a.m., with entries continuing across APD, EPD, HCSO and FoPD jurisdictions. Notable items in that list include HCSO entries for "Shots Heard" at 1:26 a.m. and 1:27 a.m., an HCSO "Missing Person" call at 3:21 a.m. on State Highway 100 block, and multiple APD traffic stops and welfare checks in the 11th, 7th and Bayside Road areas. Those entries, and several arrest listings, are truncated in the available excerpts and lack case or booking numbers.

For Humboldt residents, the incidents mean increased patrol and traffic enforcement in downtown corridors such as Broadway, Dolbeer and Lowell, and raise questions about community safety where "shots heard" and missing-person calls were reported. Important follow-up remains: the full Feb. 5 log and complete arrest records to confirm case numbers, booking locations, bond status and whether the Feb. 6–7 arrests are tied to earlier calls. Expect updates as reporters obtain jail booking logs, agency incident reports and responses from Eureka, Arcata, Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, CHP Garberville and Fortuna police.
