On May 30, 2025, at approximately 11:20 a.m., deputies from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) conducted a probation compliance check at a residence in the 600 block of Montana Road, McKinleyville. This follows a prior search warrant that was executed at the same location approximately two weeks earlier, which resulted in multiple arrests for various charges. During that operation, Elizabeth Diane Hayes, age 46, the primary resident, was arrested and subsequently booked and later released by a Humboldt County Superior Court Judge.

During the May 30th probation search, deputies located suspected fentanyl, two pistol magazines, and various items of drug paraphernalia. As a result, Hayes was arrested (again) and booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on the following charges:

• Possession of Drug Paraphernalia—H&S 11364(a)
• Possession of Large-Capacity Magazine—PC 32310(a) 
• Possession of Drug Paraphernalia—H&S 11364

The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to ensuring community safety and upholding the conditions of supervised release.

Anyone with information about this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office at (707) 445-7251 or the Sheriff’s Office Crime Tip line at (707) 268-2539.
