As a condition of his release on OR, Cole was forbidden from owning or having any dogs. It was brought to the attention of Deputy District Attorney Roger Rees that Cole now had several cats.
The DA's office wanted the order modified to prohibit Cole from having any animals. Judge Phimister did not grant the order today because there was no notice given to Cole or his attorney. This was the objection raised by Cole's attorney, Conflict Counsel's Mr. Greg Elvine-Kreis.
Cole had a preliminary hearing scheduled this morning for his felony case in which he is charged with one count: depriving an animal of drink or shelter. This case was filed January 19, 2016.
He had a disposition and reset hearing for a second case, filed January 20, 2016 in which he is charged with misdemeanor; Count 1 assault on alleged victim Sherri Silvernail, Count 2 Vandalism (less than $400) this incident was at the Co-op (location not specified in complaint). He also has a criminal protective served on him in this case.
Shannon Miranda, animal control officers and two rows of people attended this hearing.

Charles Wesley Cole arrested in Arcata for animal cruelty
On January 14th 2016 at about 12:59 PM, Arcata Police Department received a report of a subject possibly performing CPR on a dog in the area of 10th St and H St.
When Officers arrived, the dog and the subject had left the area.
Officers conducted an investigation including reviewing surveillance at a local business and saw a subject with a dog on leash. The dog had a pack strapped to his back. As the dog was walking, it collapsed in the street. The subject was seen dragging the dog across the street by its leash. The subject then picked the dog up and dropped it on the ground. The video shows the subject blowing into the dog's face. The subject then walked away with the dog, which was limping.
Officers checked the area and located the subject and the dog in the downtown area. The subject, identified as Charles Wesley Cole 6/13/1959, was placed under arrest for 597(b) PC, felony animal cruelty. The dog was taken to the Sunny Brea Animal Clinic where it was medically cared for.
Charles Cole was transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility where he was booked on animal cruelty charges.
Anybody who witnessed the animal cruelty is urged to contact Arcata Police to give a statement.
I n court today, he looked a bit different, shaved head with dark glasses and beard trimmed.

Wes has proven over and over again that he tortures animals regardless of their type. I suggest hiring a private investigator to follow and document Wes's treatment of these cats he has so this can be added to his legal trouble and the cats can be free from harm.
