Former Sergeant and Head of a Drug Interdiction Team Pleads Guilty to Charges Resulting From Law Enforcement Officers Stealing Humboldt CO. Cannabis

Officer Joe Huffaker and Sgt. Jacy Tatum.

Former Officer Joe Huffaker and former Sgt. Jacy Tatum.

Sgt. Jacy Tatum, former head of Rohnert Park’s drug Interdiction team pled guilty yesterday, December 1, to multiple charges related to officers stealing marijuana from drivers, some traveling from Humboldt County down Hwy 101. Tatum, former officer of the year, pled to tax evasion, making a false report to a federal investigator, and conspiracy to commit extortion under the color of law.

According to an article by Sukey Lewis for KQED, Tatum’s attorney sent her an email stating, “My client plead guilty to all charges he is facing because he is in fact guilty…He realizes he has made huge mistakes and that there will be serious consequences for him. He is ready to face these consequences. The first step is to admit what he has done.”

Almost exactly four years ago, on December 5, 2017, two officers pulled over Zeke Flatten, a former undercover officer involved in developing cannabis products, just north of the Sonoma County line in Mendocino County.

During the stop, Flatten grew concerned that he was being robbed. He later wrote, “[A]lthough [O]fficer 1’s techniques appeared official, his procedures did not. He did not disclose his name or department …I started to take notice that both uniforms had no patches, no badges, or no name tags.”

In about five minutes, the officers, claiming to be with the ATF, left with his three pounds of Humboldt County marijuana.

Angry, Flatten vowed to get to the bottom of the situation. He contacted the Mendocino Sheriff’s Department, the FBI, the ATF, and eventually this reporter.

Working together, we eventually learned that at least one Rohnert Park police officer, Joseph Huffaker, had participated in taking Flatten’s cannabis. We also learned that Sgt. Jacy Tatum attempted to cover up the theft by releasing a bogus press release. (Later, we learned that he had also about the same time, given the FBI, who were investigating Flatten’s allegations, a fake report.)

Sukey Lewis from KQED, springboarding from our earlier work, was able to establish that over 800 pounds of marijuana which had been seized by Rohnert Park Police had subsequently disappeared without a trace.

Tatum and Huffaker were eventually let go from the City of Rohnert Park Police and several superior officers resigned. This last year, the two officers were both charged by the US Attorney’s Office. Yesterday, Tatum pled guilty. Huffaker is scheduled to appear before the Court on December 15.

Flatten along with others have also brought a civil suit this last year against Mendocino County. The suit alleges among other concerns

a long-standing and continuing RICO conspiracy involving law enforcement officers in Mendocino County and surrounding jurisdictions conducting the affairs of an enterprise including the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Department and the Mendocino County District Attorney’s Office through a pattern of racketeering activity consisting of extortion to obtain marijuana, guns and cash from victims in possession of marijuana by unlawfully searching their residences, stopping, detaining plaintiffs and hundreds of other victims, committing robbery, obstruction of justice, money laundering, tax evasion and structuring currency transactions to evade the currency transaction reporting requirements. . . .

NBC Bay Area covered the story on the news last night. Below is that video of that segment.

Flatten, who flew in from out of state to watch Tatum plead guilty yesterday, expressed delight that his attempts to get justice had led to a crooked officer admitting what he had done. He told us that Tatum will face sentencing in March.

Word, if the Dead Family or more accurately my Dead Family didn’t guide me, correct me, and teach me selling drugs was a bad vice, I too, could have been a victim of drug pushers and the desire of riches. All my former friends whom chose sex , drugs, and rock n roll are either soulless or dead.

Ironically, the ever few whom chose Peace, Love, and Harmony live a poor, and frugal life, but whistle, pray, and give thanks.

You talking “Cosmic Charlie” from Chicago? Well…much of the underground market was set up by folks from that scene. We were just friends helping friends and never thought it would get so big. And yes- it became a magnet for bad people and for bad tendencies. The greed and more-more-more attitude finally exploded here in our beautiful paradise in the greenrush. The best of the GD scene was already over by the 90’s…heroin and powders and taking advantage of “custies” cloaked by a thin veil of peace, love and family. Sad that many still cling to that broken dream; really an instruction in beauty and community undermined by values distorted in service of the old human ego and greed. As is the story of Humboldt back-to-the-land becoming grower mansions, coke parties and ugliness…

No not from Chicago, the original Comic Charlie as in the song, his Lil uncle lives in Arcata, I’m hoping g he reads this, but he is to busy being lost to the under world. My point was I had to choose wisely, because it couldn’t get distracted because my job on the lot was to spread light. If my family caught me selling drugs, or even drinking a beer, they would cut me off as in no miracles for me.

It wasn’t apart of the crowd, I was apart of the scene, I could care less what people thought of me because I had a circle that was golden.

I could go on but it just makes my head big, and know I’m just a no body, retired, and enjoying the last days, praying, hoping, and fighting vice.

Every Charlie was a cosmic, but there was only one Cosmic in the book of blood…

Actually back in the late 80’s early 90’s there was a guy on Dead Tour called Cosmic Charlie who was selling tons of acid/lsd and got caught or something because he turned into a snitch and started working for the feds. He got a bunch of dead family busted. I know a guy who got a life sentence for selling LSD. I remember Charlie in the lot at Shoreline in the early 90’s trying to set people up and also clearly remember him at Soldier Field in Chicago trying to get a guy I knew busted. I stayed away from all that crap, but knew people who were involved and some went down hard.

Word × ten thousand, I knew Charlie got free when others went down hard, I can give a list of others that got busted with mega shit that were out in months. I had buddies whom got to look at photo albums loaded with pictures, and the feds wanted details about each one. I was told how ruthless the feds were, so my circle begged me to never sale felonies, and actually taught me how to be spare change king. I worked about 3 hours a show, earned about 100, ( as I gained the art) and lived a fairy tale called Grateful Dead. I’m almost positive, you are talking about the original. Last time I saw him, I schooled him so hard that he actually converted his last years to prayer and penitence. He actually had a youtube channel of him praying. I assume his Dead, poor bastard. At least he is getting purged and is feeling all the pains he caused unlike China Cat and Fast Eddy whom worshipped the darkness, however one never knows the mercy of God.

It’s probably the best investigating journalism that I have seen in a while, as investigating journalism is a lost art. Today it’s mostly commentary news that just dictates what the puppet masters want. Case being how local news media will say some word that no one ever uses, then all along the country the spin doctors repeat the same words verbatim. Wonder whom sends that email, and can I get on that list. Kind of wonder what is the starting pay, and does blogging count.

Anyone around knows to watch your back in Mendo with the cops… I’ve been pulled over 4 times in Mendocino over the last 10-15 years, the last time it even required FOUR cop cars and a lot of nosey ass questions to finally be allowed to leave without any sort of ticket. The other stops, minus not involving 4 cop cars, also resulted in no tickets. Being I had no illegal substances or things of value it seems I lucked out. And no, I wasn’t doing a single illegal activity any of the times I was pulled over. To think of it, in ever stop I was never even told why they felt they needed to pull me over in the first place. I take that back one time they said “you know why I pulled you over.” No tf I don’t.

Rebecca, you are probably being watched.
I had the same circumstances happen in 2001. I had a glass pipe business. I was stopped numerous times and searched. One time two officers in green jumpsuits along with a CHP officer pulled me over at the first Garberville exit. One officer ran up the bank and immediately pulled his gun on me. After a long search of my truck, hood up, mirror used to look under the truck, interior ransacked, I was let go. The explanation was I resembled someone they were looking for.
I later learned that I was part of the federal investigation “operation pipe dreams” they arrested my former business partner for interstate commerce of drug paraphernalia.
Watch your back you might be guilty of association. The feds don’t screw around, it was a three year investigation.

We expect this kind of behavior from disenfranchised and oppressed Nike activists that can only make a living by robbing strangers and trafficking loot.
I am not surprised that even police frat boys and cheap labor republicans want in on the glories of underground crony capitalism.
Surely teachers have been doing this kind of thing too, in lesser amounts of course for decades.
One thing that remains true is adults suck, and humans may not be as great a species as we think they are.

There’s a frequent visitor to this site who has basically called Zeke a liar. Wonder if we’ll hear anything from him today.

Prohibition needs to DIE. Punishment for drugs might appease polite and moral society but if you want corruption in law enforcement, carry on with the stupid status quo.

There are many forms of corruption still waiting to be exposed. Graft on the Board of Supervisors, theft of funds from NPO’s, misappropriation of donations to public entities…

$460,000 is hard to conceal, when you have deposited it in a bank, but how much cash has been converted to US Mail Money orders down at the post office every day for decades? What happens to the proceeds of huge marijuana sales?

Let’s remember that up until 2016, each marijuana farmer was a lawbreaker, unless he was extremely careful, and, having piles of “units” used to be the same thing as having wheelbarrows full of cash lying around…

It totally sucks, the piracy penetrating police procedure…

Jacy Tatum is guilty of being stupid, being a thief, and, his surrender will probably result in a domino-effect which will reveal a conspiracy that goes beyond anything imagined…

Whether I believe Zeke or not, excellent investigative journalism resulted from his proddings, and Ms Kemp has presented a view sure to enlighten many…

I hope there is a money-prize for journalism, as there has been a money-prize for corruption, and I can’t wait to see what cop tumbles next!

Personally I feel that all drugs should be legalized. The only people profiting from drug laws are drug dealers. I am sure there would be a lot less drug users if there was nobody trying to sell it to them. Make it a medical issue. Pull the rug out from under drug dealers. We are just keeping this system going and bad people are profiting. It never really made sense to me. No pushers equals less users.

Let’s go all the way with this, Bunny, since the biggest drug pushers are physicians/pharmacies/drug companies and “medical supply corporations”…

The control of pharmaceuticals by the state, and the charging of Seniors of up to $3 for a single pill of a Tier 2 Generic drug is criminal.

Not allowing physicians to prescribe as they see fit is driving people to buy Fentanyl-tainted street drugs to treat their own pains, and the lack of availability of providers is more than partially due to all the stupid laws which resulted from lobbying by drug companies, trying to control the market for their overpriced and over-promoted chemicals…

Crooked cops have been pulling this stuff since the days of the Volstead Act, Bumpy Johnson, the French Connection and on and on… Whenever there is a chance to grab the cash or extort a bribe, you may find a cop… Of course, there’s another scammer, another criminal born every second, and the crimes get easier to get away with…

So yes, Bunny, all drugs legal, sell them all at Winco and Target, right off the shelf! Heroin, Methamphetamine, Xanax, Tylenol with Codeine, all of them, at competitive prices, no prescription necessary… And fine Flowers of Cannabis, right there in the produce section, $2.99/pound…

Taking the money out is the only way to stop this stuff, and the only way we will ever get rid of pushers and dirty cops…

Pushers are not the only people profiting. If drugs were legal a lot of government jobs would be gone. Even some agencies, DEA and maybe some others don’t get me wrong I’m all for having a way smaller government. I just don’t see that happening especially with the 1.5 trillion dollars we just loaned the government it’s going to grow even bigger and require even more money. Left or right it doesn’t matter the government is the biggest problem and total pain in the ass for the people.

Having said that… Government has become a megabureaucracy. There is an agency in charge of every single thing on Earth. Air, water, dirt, crime, (Earth, Wind, Fire, and water?) I bet you can’t name one thing that there isn’t an agency covering, and each has a frustrated hall monitor in charge of it.

I guess than there must be a “keep us fighting agency”?

More probable if not completely visible are 2 real problems:

1)There are 300+ million ideas from Americans what “jobs” they should be doing.

Representatives don’t represent everyone individually, this is a shared society and they have to do their best to make a fair percentage kind of happy some of the time.

Anymore is unrealistic.

2) We dont have a Constitutional amendment separating Money from State.

I completely agree, Bunny. All plants should be legal to grow, possess, sell, and use. Taxing everyone triple, quadruple, and sometimes more for their income and purchases is freaking ridiculous. The only way to lessen the amount of overdoses is to legalize AND regulate all drugs. By regulation, I mean inspections and standards, not more taxes.

The only way the fentanyl overdoses are going to slow down is to assure it isn’t being put in every illegal drug folks buy or use. Supposedly fentanyl was found in marijuana sold in Connecticut recently. In my opinion,that would not have happened had the prohibition of drugs not been ruining and taking lives for about 8 decades. Do we really need to continue to stuff the pockets of the rich, the feds, the pharmaceutical companies making Suboxone ($7-10 a dose), methadone (at least $10 a day), vivitrol, and narcan, the rehabs and methadone clinics, the for profit jail system and legal system ,the black market drug pushers, and the rest of the drug war profiteers? Maybe all those that lose their jobs when drugs are made legal (probably not in my or my kid’s lifetime) can go grow or otherwise create legal drugs or work on the vending machines that spit them out. There are Dilaudid vending machines in certain areas of Canada. I guess the Canadians got tired of having their pharmacies robbed and their people jailed?

For whatever reason the only other prohibition didn’t last very long at all. Many people were jailed, maimed, and many died due to tainted liquor (and the money involved with alcohol prohibition.) Of course, many people made their fortunes on bootleg liquor or at least made enough to feed all the kids they had and have a nip here or there as well. Did we learn nothing from alcohol prohibition and the problems it created? How was alcohol prohibition ended so swiftly and how has this atrocious and archaic drug war gone on for so long ,if we the people are actually the government? There is no I in government though. Most of our representatives cannot relate to the plight of the average citizen because their paychecks and special privileges make them above the law and elite.

It’s been many years since I’ve seen Matt Kendall, but I’m pretty sure he is an honorable man. He is (or certainly was) the type of guy who would call out the most popular “bro” in the locker room for saying something grossly sexist or slightly racist. He would put an end to hazing incidents that became physical, sometimes challenging a whole group of bullies at once. I like to think he does similar policing with his deputies, to the extent he catches wind of anything shady – it just happens behind closed doors. He has probably also learned by now that labor rules are not conducive to cleaning house.

Defunding the police is a misguided slogan. “Diversify the police” is a better idea, where departments would have fewer armed officers and more mental health workers and conflict mediators. The budgets may have to be increased to do this, but it’s a transition that would make everyone safer.

Yes I knew he was a corrupt officer he made false charges against me about ten years ago and beat me up.On a call to my street I also was aware that he was making oil with the product. He used to buy his propane at Home Depot you can check his records and you will see how much he was buying he also wanted me to be his snitch and find out about anthers in Neighborhood he would follow me when he seen me around town and point his finger like a gun and shoot me and laugh he had a unique devilish smile I tried to tell his sergeant at the time but they really stuck up and protected him but I new he was a Bad cop.

I think several other instances of police corruption should be covered this is just the tip of the ice berg. Officer Johnson Alturas Police department was seen having sex in his patrol car with a 15 year old girl near the high school by my friend Michael Baker. One hour after Mike told Johnson he was going to tell people Johnson came to Mike Baker’s house where he was chopping wood in his front yard. Johnson says he was being threatened by a wood splitting maul in Mike’s hands and shot him 4 times in the back as he ran away. My friend Miguel 22 year veteran of the CHP was 7 years old and watched Mike get executed by a child molesting cop. He clearly remembers Mike being no threat and was running down the street and as he was savagely murdered in his parents front yard.
