Violent California parolee released early. Hours later, he was arrested for murder
REDDING, CA – Within hours of his early release from jail due to overcrowding, a parolee with a lengthy and violent history was arrested Sunday on suspicion of murder.
According to the Redding Police Department, James Joshua Noyes, 33, was arrested Saturday, Oct. 3, after a domestic violence incident. He was booked into the Shasta County jail on charges of “possession of methamphetamine for sales, drug paraphernalia and a parole violation.”
Within five hours of his arrest, Noyes was released from jail.
The RPD describes the early release as necessary:
“[D]ue to the multiple issues facing the Shasta County Jail with prisoner overcrowding and California Department of Corrections not transporting multiple sentenced inmates taking up jail bed space.”
Within “a matter of hours,” Noyes was involved in a shooting incident in Redding, police said.
Officers were called about 3 a.m. Sunday to the scene of a shooting at a convenience store, where they encountered a gunshot victim. After responders rendered immediate medical aid, the unidentified victim was transported to a local hospital, where he later died of his injuries.
Witnesses told officers that the suspect fled in his vehicle before the officers’ arrival. Redding PD investigators examined surveillance footage and identified Noyes as the suspect in the shooting after recognizing him from his arrest the previous day.
After obtaining a warrant for Noyes for “homicide and felon in possession of a firearm,” officers searching for Noyes located him and attempted a traffic stop.
Noyes did not comply and he led police on a chase, reaching speeds of nearly 100 miles per hour. During the chase, he spun out at an exit and ran into a fence.
Still refusing to comply with police instructions, Noyes attempted to flee on foot, running in front of a police vehicle in the process. Even after being struck by the vehicle, he did not obey officers’ lawful commands. Eventually, Noyes was apprehended with the assistance of Redding Police K9 Otto.
After being treated and released at a local hospital, Noyes was booked back into Shasta County Jail on charges of “homicide, felon in possession of a firearm, felony evading, resisting, and a parole violation.” Bail was set at $1,000,000.
Noyes’ criminal history, according to the Redding Police Department, includes:
“. . . a variety of arrests and prior convictions for possession of narcotics, theft related offenses, domestic violence related offenses, driving under the influence, resisting arrest and unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon.”
While serving a prison sentence beginning in 2017 for burglary, Noyes caused serious bodily injury to another inmate. He was released from prison in February 2020 and has been on parole for battery on his fellow inmate.
The Redding Police Department has requested that anyone with information on the homicide, contact Redding Police Investigations at 530-225-4200.
Otto has a hard on for criminals.
Kamala Harris will have him bailed out by dark
The jerk should have been shot and left on the doorstep of that goofball governor.
Well, the ink is still damp on the paperwork of those who aided and abetted this murderer by releasing him.
They arrested him? He’ll be back on the street in the morning.
gee one would think that this sort of thing could be used pretty effectively in a campaign commercial.
i wonder if the other side would use it against us if the parties were reversed?
The host on Rush today said both meth and heroin are showing up in the fatty tissues of fish that we eat.
California could use the death penalty to prevent felons like this from getting Covid-19.
I used to work out with a prison guard. Hours after a prisoner was released, the prisoner murdered a total stranger. I asked the guard and he shook his head in disgust. The guard said they knew that would happen. The prisoner was one of several who the guards had been warned to never, under any circumstance, turn their back on. If the prisoner saw a chance, he would kill them. I asked why they had let them go. The guard said, (approximately) “He served his time. The judge knew how dangerous he was, but gave him a light sentence. We can’t keep them just because they are too dangerous to be out in society.”
Harris will refer him to an anger management “diversion program”.
Those who have put testified and have put scum like this in jail should be armed and ready to take them out on first site
Otto’s a good boy
But did he give anyone COVID?!?!?
I hope Otto shredded the methhead’s arm.

Otto’s a good boy, and what ears he has!
Noyes was apprehended with the assistance of Redding Police K9 Otto.
