On April 17, a Hoopa Valley Tribal Police Officer, who is cross deputized with the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO), along with an HCSO deputy were conducting routine patrol in the Hoopa Valley. At about 10:45 p.m., officers conducted a vehicle investigation on Highway 96 just south of Loop Road, Hoopa, and contacted Darin Byron Marshall Jr., 41, of Hoopa.

Marshall was subsequently placed under arrest for his warrant and a search of his vehicle was conducted. Officers located several items of drug paraphernalia and approximately 7 ounces of suspected heroin.
