The following is a press release from the Ukiah Police Department. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:
On 07/30/2024, at approximately 11:52am, Ukiah Police Department (UPD) officers were dispatched to a Ukiah business in the 600 block of South State Street for a theft that occurred. A store employee recognized the male subject from prior thefts at that location. The employee identified the subject to be Ryan Whitman. The employee observed Witman enter an aisle and steal a large quantity of over-the-counter medications and place them into a bag. The employee followed Wittman out of the store as he passed all final points of sale without paying for the medications.
Store employees were able to complete an inventory of the medication that Whitman stole, and it was estimated to be 120 items valued at $3,691.80. A records check on Whitman was conducted through UPD Dispatch and Whitman was determined to be on Formal County probation out of Mendocino County for prior violation of 487 PC (grand theft).
On 08/04/2024, at approximately 5:12pm, a UPD officer located Whitman in the 600 block of Talmage Road. The UPD officer located a bag that Whitman was in possession of that matched the bag he had during the theft. Inside the bag was a large quantity of over-the-counter medication. The medication contained markings on it that matched the store number from the theft that occurred on 07/30/2024. Whitman was placed under arrest for the above listed charges and was transported to the Mendocino County Jail, where he was booked and lodged. The recovered stolen property was returned to the store. A total of 60 items were recovered with a total price of $2,193.18.

Going after the cold and allergy meds like an old school Smurf or crank cook. You have to wonder why he’d go through all that hassle to cook his own crank with the Mexican-supplied crystal being so cheap and plentiful. The cartels won’t be happy with undercutters like this guy. Hopefully the cops are able to find mr whitman’s lab. Stuck between a rock and a hard place!
Todd’s at it again with the perfect benevolence toward the alabaster criminals, but shockingly, the hatred just spills out when the criminal has a higher concentration of melanin.
Oh, to be so ignorantly blissful of one’s own racism as Peckerhead is.
Same guy who said “there’s no racism in Mendo!” when the sign was changed to obviously racist language.
There is no significant racism in Mendocino County. Hasn’t been for at least fifty years.
And that sign could have been programmed by a blm activist.
Lol how would YOU know what the OTC meds are for? Sounds like songs experience pecking away at the keyboard to me.
I doubt he was making meth lol 60 of the 120 packages were recovered he was selling them for half price to drug dealers to get his drugs. Geez get up with the times.lol

Shocking! Because he looks like such a peach of a young Ladd?
Good job Ukiah Police Officers and the store employees that’s ID’d him. From the looks of what he took, meth was going to be made! Desperate people do desperate things. Hopefully he won’t be back out on the street any time soon. I hope he gets the help he needs.
Is anyone gonna ask this guy for his childhood story? I feel like everyone of these articles sensationalizing addiction should give a quick background of the abuse these people went through as kids, followed by a public service number and some resources highlighting how adverse childhood experiences lead to fucked up adults.
Stop giving your kids adverse childhood experiences, teach kids that getting hit or yelled at is wrong. Let alone getting molested and used. Kids don’t usually know how bad their abuse is until they’re older and start piecing it together. some never do.By then they may have repeated the abuse thinking it’s normal. And the cycle continues.
The root of all our suffering comes from child abuse, and emotional neglect. We got to get our shit together for the kids!!
He’s either selling for $ or trading those medications to the hondos a.k.a. hondurans for fentanyl so the hondos either send those over the counter medicines to honduras or more than likely sell them on the streets of sanfrancisco. Oh yea I heard they will buy liquid Tide soap or Tide pods.
