Cloverdale Residents Awakened by FBI Raid

The FBI executed a warrant early Tuesday morning, September 24, 2024, at a residence on Pepperwood Drive in Cloverdale, sparking a brief but intense scene in the normally quiet neighborhood.

Cloverdale Interim Police Chief Robert Stewart confirmed local officers were on hand solely due to the residence being within city limits. “This morning at approximately 6 a.m., the Cloverdale Police Department stood by as the FBI executed a warrant on Pepperwood Drive,” Stewart said. “The Cloverdale Police Officers were only at the location as the residence was within the City limits of Cloverdale. As this action is the result of an FBI investigation, we are unable to provide any specifics.”

Prentice Danner, a spokesman for the FBI’s San Francisco division, confirmed the federal agency’s involvement, stating, “The FBI conducted authorized law enforcement activity on Pepperwood Drive.”

A Nixle alert was issued to the community at 6:17 a.m., warning residents to avoid the area due to police activity. The message assured the public that there was “no threat to the community.”

One resident recounted the moment the FBI arrived. “I was awakened by the flash bombs. They were shouting through the PA system that it was the FBI, demanding they come out with their hands up. They didn’t come out immediately, so more flash bombs were set off,” the resident said. “The next time I went outside, the doors were all open, and they were in the house. There were guys in military cammies with auto weapons and a large van. Lots of plainclothes guys in street cars arrived a few minutes later.”

Authorities have not released further details about the investigation, and it remains unclear whether any arrests were made.

    • You’re the only person bringing this up, based on absolutely no evidence. That’s called projection, which makes everyone else suspect you are harboring some guilt there buddy. What are you hiding, pervert?

  2. no facts released… of course.
    not speculating on charges or guilt of this matter.

    i would offer this. we will likely never know what happened. will just offer this. the f bee lie manages crimes and when pressed in congress wray will always say ” can’t talk about that…it’s still under investigation”. just like the JFK assassination.
    wake up folks this bunch is not the Efram Zimbalist Jr version of stuff we used to respect.

    when we think of the f bee lie (ftroop) we’re supposed to think they are the saviors? i think about whitey bulger and many more cases. they manage crimes that’s all they do now.
    sad that local PD is subservient to them and carrying their water when, and i speculate, they have no idea what the arrest is all about.
