EPD: Suspect Allegedly Shot Man With Shotgun Shell Filled With Cereal
By Geneva Peppars
On June 7, at around 3:25 p.m., the Eureka Police Department, Humboldt Bay Fire and City Ambulance responded to the end of
Truesdale Street for the report of shots fired, according to officials.
It was first reported that an adult man had sustained a sin- gle gunshot wound to his hand.
The suspect, who was believed to be Timothy Glass Jr., 29, of Eureka, had reportedly left the scene on a bike fol- lowing the incident,
according to officials.
Officers said they located the victim and he was trans- ported by ambu- lance to the hospital for treatment of a non-life threatening wound to one hand.
Not long after the incident, Eureka police detectives said they called dis- patch to inform them that Glass had been detained in the Palco Marsh area.
According to offi- cials, Glass resisted apprehension caus- ing minor injury to a detective.
The victim was con-
tacted at the hospital who positively identi- fied Glass as the shooter but he did not wish to pursue charges and signed a no further action form, according to detectives.
Glass was booked into the Humboldt County jail for resist- ing arrest and proba- tion violation.
Investigation reveals that Glass fired a flare gun loaded with a shotgun shell filled with Rice Krispies, according to detec- tives. The case will be referred to the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office for review.
