The owner of Loco Fish Co, Jayme Knight, who was arrested for a DUI last Thursday after the Humboldt County Fair annual chili cook-off has issued a statement on the“I am sorry for using language that was hurtful,” he wrote in a prepared statement on the Loco Fish Co. Facebook page.
“He immediately saw the signs of intoxication, red eyes, slurred speech, unsteady balance,” said Ron Sligh, Ferndale Police Department’s chief. Several witnesses identified Knight as driving a vehicle, said Sligh, who noted that Knight refused a breathalyzer test on the scene. A warrant was issued for a blood test later on, the results of which are pending.
Knight also said in the Facebook post that running over the box of food owned by Foggy Bottoms Boys was accidental. Sligh said the report lists damage to the property at around $100 to $140.
