Dressed in red, in chains, with mouth and head covered , Arcata arson suspect finally arraigned today

Yesterday, I posted that Arcata arson suspect Jeremy Kish was "allegedly" under suicide watch. Later yesterday afternoon, Kish was not arraigned because he was medically or physically unavailable to come to court.

Kish's arraignment was continued to today. DDA Moksha Chattopadhya was present for the People.

 Kish was dressed in red, not the usual orange jumpsuit. His face was covered with a stocking type material and his mouth and lips with a mask that food workers wear.

Charges have been split in 3 cases, one is a misdemeanor. Jeremy in his usual dramatic fashion went against his appointed attorney's advice to waive time in the one misdemeanor case but have the other cases set on a time waived office. Kish told Judge Marilyn Miles that he did not want to waive time and wanted a speedy trial because he claimed "he had been denied food and water for 3 days."

Conflict Counsel's Mr. Greg Elvine-Kreis was appointed to represent Kish.

Even before Mr. Elvine-Kreis could accept the appointment, Jeremy was chattering away and whispering to him.

Bail is set for $150,000 in one case, the one where he is charged with arson, $50,000 in another case and the third one for $5,000.

Jury trial June 22 at 8:30 a.m.,  Preliminary hearing June 11 at 8:30 a.m. and Intervention June 4 at 3 p.m.

His charges are as follows:

Kish has been charged in Count 1 with arson of the former Alliance Market in Arcata this past weekend.

Count 2 is resisting and delaying and obstructing Officer Miller while he was on duty.

Count 3 is assault on a custodial officer David Jackson.

Count 4 is battery by gassing a peace officer in the detention facility.

Count 5 is criminal threats PC 422 towards Corporal N. Corral .
