Arcata

A police officer on bicycle patrol rolled up on an apparent hash sale earlier today, resulting in the arrest of two local men.

At about 12:30 p.m. an unidentified police officer entered the alley behind Tavern Row on the Plaza and located several subjects gathered behind The Alibi bar. When contacted, a number of them walked away, leaving two men who the officer observed were engaged in a cash for hash transaction.

The officer searched 39-year-old Arcata resident Robert Yates and 31-year-old Jeremy Campbell, who APD sergeant Dave Brown described as a “transient individual” in a release. The cop found nearly three ounces of concentrated cannabis, a scale and other contraband items, and promptly arrested Yates and Campbell. They were transported to county jail without incident and are presently in custody.
