ARCATA -- The continuing campaign by Arcata Police and Plaza business owners to cut down on illegal drug trafficking in the central business district nabbed another arrest earlier today.
At about 11:30 a.m. APD officers on foot patrol acted on a tip from a nearby business owner concerning a group of people blocking a doorway on 9th Street.
Upon contacting the group, officers discovered that one of them, 27-year-old Benjamin Crowder of Maryland, had several local warrants for his arrest. While his associates were released without further incident, Crowder was arrested on the spot.
In a search of his backpack, officers discovered several hypodermic syringes and other drug injection paraphernalia, as well as over an ounce of marijuana bud and a quantity of concentrated marijuana (hash).
Crowder was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility for the warrants and the new charges produced by the search.
