I just stopped by the store and Kaitlin told a terrifying story of a man trying to enter the store without her permission. He was later seen flashing a knife. This is all second hand but driving down Lighthouse Road, I came across two Sheriffs looking for this man. As far as the grape vine goes, this man is squatting at Jim Swansons old place while the new owners are away giving birth to a baby.

Keep an eye out for a man in a blue jacket and call in if you have any information on this “pscycopath!” This is the word on the street. Be careful out there and be safe.

This guy's name is Greg and I know him. He is not a friend. He'll try to be intimidating but there's no wind behind the sails. I tried to help him out in the pandemic days but ended up kicking him out. It seems he is trying to say he has my permission to be there. He does not. It's not even mine anymore. He is not right in the head. Good legal mind and a talented musician but not all there. I'm not sure he has any friends or anywhere to go actually. There aren't many places for people like him nowadays. People who need help but are kind of an asshole. Be kind but try to get him out of there.

This is the man, I saw walking on Lighthouse Road several times. I gave him a ride once. Said he was looking for you, Jim. I told him you had moved, but maybe he doesn't realize you had sold the place.

Hello Mattole valley, this is the update from the fire department on the dangerous man Greg Hayes. He is caucasian about 6 feet tall, Gray beard, black or blue watch cap . Wearing a blue jacket, black rain pants, dark shoes with white bottoms

After speaking with the sheriff, if Greg Hayes is seen, he should not be confronted. You should call the sheriff and let him know his location. 
Be safe 

Chris Gilda Petrolia Fire Chief
