Kailan Meserve who was busted for sexual battery, forcible rape, oral copulation and more is Dave Meserve's son

Former Arcata City Council member Dave Meserve was in court this morning. His son is charged with 17 counts including threats to commit crime resultung in death, first degree burglary, forcible oral copulation (several counts), sexual battery, kidnap to commit robbery, penetration by a foreign object and assault with a deadly weapon. A criminal protective order has been served on him.

 The bail was set by  Judge Miles in accordance with the bail schedule after DDA Brie Bennett, who is prosecuting the case did the math and requested it be set according to the schedule. Judge Miles had earlier stated that amount originally set might not be correct, and gave counsel the opportunity to supply the court with the correct bail calculations, which DDA Bennett did. 

A bail review hearing has been scheduled for May 5 at 8:30 a.m.
