A man who ran into trouble trying to sail out of a Santa Cruz harbor was found to be a fugitive wanted in a Humboldt County murder.

Austin Medeiros, 27, was arrested Sunday afternoon after three men who went to help him with the boat were able to detain him when he got “immediately confrontational,” said Harbormaster Blake Anderson.

Surveillance video released to the Sentinel shows a boat emerging from a dock on the harbor’s western side, across from the public launch, its sail wildly flapping in the wind. Anderson said the three deputies — John Haynes, David Hill and Parker Guy — went out in a patrol boat before the sailboat exited the harbor.
