On May 30, 2025, the Humboldt County Probation Department (HCPD) received information regarding the whereabouts of Decker Contreras (Age 21), who had a warrant out for his arrest. Officers from the HCPD along with the Humboldt Area California Highway Patrol (CHP-Humboldt) responded to the 2500 block of Glendale Ave in Blue Lake where they contacted and arrested Contreras.

A probation search of the residence and a related vehicle was conducted. The search revealed an unregistered revolver, 5 rounds of live .357 caliber ammunition, and what appeared to be large quantities of narcotics. Due to the presence of narcotics, the HCPD contacted the Humboldt County Drug Task Force (HCDTF) to assist. Upon arrival, agents located 5 grams of Methamphetamine, 37 grams of MDMA, 184.9 grams of Cocaine, 557 grams of Marijuana, and evidence related to the sales of controlled substances. Contreras was transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility and booked without incident.

Anyone with information related to this investigation or other narcotics-related crimes is encouraged to call the Humboldt County Drug Task Force at 707-267-9976.
