Hoopa Valley Tribal Police joined in the manhunt for Alvin Lee Wingo Jr., a 49-year-old Hoopa resident, who is sought for an alleged assault with a deadly weapon offense, which occurred last Saturday evening. Wingo is alleged to have pointed a loaded, pistol grip shotgun at two other men, chasing one of them as they fled -- although there was no exchange of fire, the two men who escaped were afraid for their safety. While Wingo wasn’t home when the army of law enforcement officers arrived yesterday, HCSO deputies did discover three persons, ten firearms and drugs on the scene. These included methamphetamine, hypodermic syringes, marijuana, five rifles, three handguns, one sawed-off shotgun and one converted assault rifle. Two of the weapons recovered were reported stolen in late 2008, according to the HCSO release.
Michael William Logan, 29, was arrested for possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana for sales and a parole violation. Juanita Wingo, 47, was issued a felony “Notice to Appear” citation for possession of drug paraphernalia, marijuana and illegal firearms inside her residence and within her control. A female juvenile was issued a misdemeanor citation for providing false information to law enforcement regarding her identity. Her identity was not released by law enforcement due to her age. According to Deputy Marsh at the HCSO, Alvin Wingo is a convicted felon and is prohibited from having access to or control of firearms -- which means he isn’t allowed to have them kept at his home, whether he was present or not. Law enforcement describes him as a Hispanic male adult, 49-years-old, 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing about 235 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes. He has multiple tattoos on his arms, legs, back, and chest, including the word “Indian” tattooed on his left arm and “Pride” tattooed on his right arm. Anyone with information regarding the location of Alvin Lee Wingo Jr. is asked to contact the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office at (707) 445-7251.
