Posted By Thadeus Greenson and Kimberly Wear on Fri, Sep 10, 2021 at 12:06 PM
FOURTH UPDATE:
A McKinleyville standoff involving an armed Arcata man who was being sought by authorities ended just before 1:30 p.m. after Matthew Dilley surrendered his gun and was later taken into custody.
A shelter in place advisory from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office that went out to local residents has been lifted.
According to HCSO spokesperson Samantha Karges, a citizen reported Dilley in the area, which is near Sutter Road, and a deputy on patrol was able to locate him around 10 a.m. When Dilley refused to drop his gun, a large law enforcement response was called in and the standoff began.
As part of the negotiations with Dilley, he was promised a Sprite, a can of chew and something to eat before being taken to the jail, which Karges says the sheriff's office is making good on before he is booked.
