Reports of man with machete jumping into traffic on the Isthmus Slough Bridge. CBPD identifies the suspect as Jarred Yokum who is a known problem in the area, and find him sitting outside his home in Eastside with the machete. Yokum threatens the cops that he will kill them if they come into his home and then he retreats inside. Dispatch calls his parole officer who agrees to detain him on a parole violation, but the jail will not take him because he is heavily intoxicated. Police on scene also noted that they would have been unwilling to enter the home to detain him given the threats and his intoxication level. So he is free to terrorize citizens and our local law enforcement will just stand by and watch it happen. Bunch of pussies. No wonder the criminals think they run this town.
