Jerod Sechrist Arrested In October For Heroin Possession
In mid-October, TV Shows Ace reported that Cape Caution deckhand, Jarod Sechrist, was charged with heroin possession. Sechrist faced two drug charges. One charge was a felony possession of heroin, and the lesser misdemeanor charge for drug paraphernalia.
Law enforcement pursued Jarod due to an open reckless driving case. When the police searched his vehicle, they uncovered a clear plastic bag with a white, powdery substance. The substance tested positive for heroin.
Jerod Sechrist Fired by Deadliest Catch Captain Wild Bill Wichrowski
Jerod Sechrist was only on the Deadliest Catch for three episodes. He worked for Wild Bill on the Cape Caution in 2016. Fans will remember Sechrist. Jerod had trouble identifying which crab were male and which were female. This is so important as females need to be thrown back into the sea. Most importantly, refineries fine big bucks if they bring in females. Jerod never could figure out which crab were female. Wild Bill had no choice but to fire him.
