Date: 01-27-2012 Prepared By: Sgt. Hanson
On 01-26-2012 at about 0930 hours the Humboldt County Drug Task Force, received a telephone call from a Detective, who works for the Reno Police Department in Nevada. The Detective in Reno, said that they were conducting narcotics courier activity on a passenger rail train in Reno. The Detective told a Humboldt County Drug Task Force Agent that they contacted a subject named Scott Porter age 35 from Arcata, California.
During their contact with Porter they discovered approximately $73,000 dollars in US currency in his luggage. Porter’s money was seized in Reno for possible asset seizure. Porter was released at the scene in Reno. Possible charges will be filed in the future against Porter.
Humboldt County Drug Task Force Agents then responded to Porter’s residence located in the 700 block Park Avenue, Arcata at about 1000 hours to conduct follow-up investigation. When Agents arrived at the residence they contacted Porter’s girlfriend, Christina Degiovanni. When Agents were speaking to Degiovanni they could smell the odor of marijuana coming from inside of the residence. Agents then secured the residence for a search warrant.
At about 1220 hours a search warrant was signed by a Superior Court Judge from Humboldt County for the residence. When Agents searched the residence they discovered $49,000 dollars in US currency which was seized for possible asset seizure. About two pounds of processed marijuana was seized at the residence. The marijuana and currency was hidden in the attic of the residence. Agents located two rifles and a handgun in the residence.
Christina Elizabeth Degiovanni was arrested for possession of marijuana for sales, being armed in the commission of a felony and was transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility in Eureka.

Great job! Let’s use that seized cash to increase the police dept and run growers out of the state.
use the cash for the schools
Buy the cops some hookers.
Looks like a Walmart employee. What a great resource ‘Hippie Stink’ when cops catch em they can get jobs as ‘Politically correct terminology’ here. Manually operated earth moving device operators. (#2 shovel) And ‘manually operated rock crushing device workers’ Rock crushing with a drilling hammer. Cute kid too bad for her her looks couldn’t get the cops to let her loose. Didn’t i see this same face screaming at me when I was mowing lawns at the section 8 housing on south G and H and Northtown when I had work(as a landscape maintenance personnel NOT a ‘Logger’ although some apparently can NOT tell the difference, they must work for High Times) before, Pete Bob and Daryl. No must have been her Mom complete with Bee’s wax make believe dreadlocks. I have seen them up here at PSU at the Farmers Market too whoo.(Yea, the only thing I miss about Arcata is the good Baguettes)
That’s it…plaster her photo so you can now google her name all over the internet. Remember people like Dan you are innocent until proven guilty. If you can’t live by those rule then go and live in Iran.
parden my misspellings…must be smoking that great Humboldt weed.
What I wonder is why only a picture of Christina was posted full name and all for the world to see and not her boyfriend Scott Porter..?
That’s a good question. Because the boyfriend wasn’t arrested in Humboldt, and it just didn’t occur to me to try to obtain the booking mug from Reno PD. I should have though, will do so and add it to the story.
