In a show of the law's slow but steady grasp, Meyers' conviction comes on the heels of his arrest in late December 2020. Armed with a $110,000 search warrant, detectives apprehended him at his home on Ruby St without incident, booking him into San Mateo County Jail. The arrest was the culmination of a case that began with a heinous act against an unconscious victim. The severity and intimate violation of this crime cannot be overstated. 

Details about the assault were sparse but poignant, the authorities refraining from releasing specific information about their investigation. Yet, such reticence from the Redwood City police does not conceal the impact of Meyers' vile actions or the valor required to bring such cases to light. According to CBS San Francisco, police have urged anyone with additional knowledge about the assault to come forward, providing contact details for Detective Trinh and the department's tip line.
