Authorities arrested a former Redding police corporal Thursday in connection with a large-scale marijuana cultivation and distribution operation in Shasta County, the District Attorney s Office said.
The former officer, 54-year-old Will Williams, was arrested on felony charges by investigators with the California Highway Patrol and the Shasta County District Attorney s Bureau of Investigation, the DA s office said.
The arrest arises from two felony cases tied to a 2020 investigation into the marijuana growing operation at a warehouse. During the course of the narcotics investigation, investigators became aware that Williams had surreptitiously recorded a confidential communication in an unrelated matter, the DA s office said on its Facebook page.
The battle over Costco’s plan to relocate its store to south Redding has taken another turn.
In an apparent attempt to stop a legal challenge to its relocation plans, Costco is asking customers to endorse an initiative that would enact a specific plan to develop the freeway frontage property on which it wants to relocate its store.
Called the Bechelli Bonnyview Specific Plan, the initiative essentially mirrors what the Redding City Council did last May when it approved the River Crossing MarketPlace on the northeast corner of South Bonnyview Road and Bechelli Lane, a shopping center that would be anchored by a 152,000-square-foot Costco with a gas station.

While the federal government sees the prospect of raising the height of Shasta Dam as a way to increase water storage for a thirsty California, the Winnemem Wintu of Shasta County see it as a threat to their culture.
It was a theme picked up this week by American Rivers, a conservation group that named the McCloud River one of America s 10 most endangered rivers because of the proposal to raise the height of Shasta Dam.
“Raising the height of Shasta Dam would decimate more of the McCloud River,” Ron Stork, with Friends of the River, said in a news release.
