August 4, 2020 Trevor Montgomery

EASTVALE, Calif. — A couple from the North State area of Yreka were arrested at an Eastvale park in southern California, after they were found to be in possession of a loaded shotgun, narcotics and drug paraphernalia Sunday morning, Aug. 2.

The pair, 41-year-old, Joseph Edward Garibay and 28-year-old, Rebeccah Fleming, both of whom are on felony probation, remain in custody and are facing a laundry list of felony and misdemeanor charges related to their arrests.

North State area Superior Court and other records indicate Garibay has failed to appear in court on numerous occasions related to other criminal cases. One headline-leading arrest involved him and another man who were arrested in Yreka, CA last August after the shooting of two dogs, one of which was killed.
