A check on reported criminal activity around the Adorni Center parking lot this week uncovered some.
While on scene, officers located a subject sleeping in nearby Halvorsen Park. On the ground next to the subject, officers saw a
baggie containing suspected methamphetamine. The subject, Ronald William Knight (50
years old), was contacted and a small tin, a bundle of plastic baggies and a digital scale
were also located next to him. The tin was searched, pursuant to Knight’s probation terms
(Knight is on active probation for possession of a controlled substance for sales). In the
tin, officers located an additional 17 baggies of suspected methamphetamine.
Knight was taken into custody and was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional
Facility (HCCF) on charges of possession of a controlled substance for sales and
probation violation.
