From LOCO's booked:

LEAH MARIE JARNAGHAN
CHPG / FRESH ARREST
Monday, June 15, 9:15 p.m.

This from the KIEM-Channel 3 news site:

A Hoopa woman was arrested for felony child endangerment after a two-car vehicle crash in Eastern Humboldt.
CHP reports yesterday just after 8 pm, 27-year old Leah Jarnaghan was traveling south with two juveniles and one adult passenger on Pine Crest Drive when she allegedly attempted to pass another vehicle around a blind curve. 51-year old David Lewis, also of Hoopa, was driving the opposite direction in a Chevy Silverado truck. As he came around the turn, he had to veer right but was hit by Jarnaghan’s car.
Jarnaghan’s 3 and 5-year old children were unrestrained and not in car seats. The 5-year old was taken to Mad River Hospital as a precaution. Only minor injuries were sustained by all occupants of both vehicles. Officers arrested Jarnaghan for felony child endangerment.
CHP warns the public that all passengers need to be restrained. Also, children 8-years or younger must have child seats for their safety. It’s ‘the law.
