On June 27, 2024, at approximately 2:30 AM, Fort Bragg police officers were conducting extra patrol in the 500 block of S. Harrison Street due to recent thefts in the area.  

While patrolling, officers observed a suspicious subject who appeared to be hiding and lying next to a parked vehicle. The subject was wearing dark clothing and a mask. When officers attempted to contact the subject, they immediately fled on foot. With the assistance of the  Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office, officers and deputies pursued the suspect for several blocks, but ultimately lost sight of him. Officers searched where the suspect was first seen hiding and found a loaded unregistered 9-millimeter firearm and a loaded high-capacity 9-millimeter magazine hidden under a parked vehicle. 

Approximately 45 minutes later, while continuing to check the area, officers located a 17-year-old juvenile suspect running through the area in dark clothing wearing a mask. The juvenile suspect was about one block from where the firearm was located. 

The juvenile was arrested for the following violations: 647(F) PC (public intoxication) and  9.76.020 of the Fort Bragg Municipal Code (juvenile violating curfew). Additional felony charges are pending fingerprinting results from the found 9-millimeter firearm and magazine.  

During the foot pursuit, one Fort Bragg police officer sustained minor injuries, was treated at the Adventist Health Emergency Room, and is expected to make a full recovery.

  1. Hope the officer recovers quickly! Officer Frank and Baker are great assets to our community and we appreciate them both

  2. When’s the press release involving Emma Vanhorn and Officer Beaks relationship being released!!??? They dealt fentanyl to our youth….

  3. Yup officer Frank is a great asset to the community that’s a joke. The only reason Officer Frank got most if not all of his dui stops is because he was sleeping with the fat DMV lady Cruz Jaileen. They were taking trips out of town just so he could butter that fat ass up. She gave him all the information on drivers with dui records. Stay tuned for more on the FBPD officer of the year

  4. Heather Tubbs soon the whole truth will come out about your buddy Frank. Baker was sleeping with a coworker of hers at subway when Cruz Jaileen was working there. It’s all dirty laundry coming out. All this sexual shit out of the FBPD will make good news

    • Damn, son! How many felonies have fbpd nailed you n your buddies for? Most people here appreciate the uptick in enforcement on dui, hard drugs, and wannabe gang bullshit. You sound salty and jealous like you get ZERO female attention lol. Also sound like your just shitty, uninformed, low IQ criminal trash. Cops don’t need to sleep with DMV for favors, they got all the access to the records in their little dashboard computer. Why don’t you go thrive with your homiez in LosAngeles, dipshit

  5. Lots of bullshit late night antics on south Harrison and south McPherson lately, especially around the apartments. Milano bar also being one of the sources of late night roaming drunks, stimulant users, and underage drinkers

  6. Terrible Ed sounds a butt of Frank haha. Sorry bro I have never been arrested or in trouble with the law. Just looked at the proof in writing haha. Trust I get enough female attention not like you having Frank bent over looking at his ass. Oh Terrible Ed I’ll send you my address in LA come visit me. Sounds like you must have sucked off Frank to get out of a DUI I feel sorry for you

  7. Brainless people on here haha. Sorry Frank or Baker never toke my dope because I have never done dope clean my whole life. Donnie must be one of Franks fat bitchs who he has been hitting. I’ll be laughing so hard when all this shit comes out. What theses guys are doing makes Chris look like an Angel
