Sechrist was arrested while at a residence in the city, as authorities were serving two outstanding felony warrants for grand theft. He was out of jail on probation, and is now being held without bail due to the violation. Sechrist appeared as a deckhand in a few episodes of Deadliest Catch in 2016. but has not been on the show since.
