Once again, Dustin Owens and Heather Burke win; Cyndy Day-Wilson loses in Nylander family lawsuit

 

Once again, Mr. Dustin Owens and Ms. Heather Burke prevail and Cyndy Day-Wilson loses. Motion for summary judgement denied in Nylander family lawsuit. Ms. Shelley Addison who represents Mama Nylander also had the motion for summary judgement denied. 

This post picks up from my last update added to the September 17 post.

For those who wish to read Humboldt Superior Court Assistant Presiding Judge Timothy Canning's rulings, they will be added later today, sometime between now and tonight.

Daryl Jones obssession with someone he dated in middle school for two weeks led to endangering an entire community









I posted earlier on Facebook and then did this post on the blog adding details, information and included the Ramey warrant which has not been reported so far in the Daryl Jones case.

Humboldt Superior Assistant Presiding Judge Timothy Canning signed the Ramey warrant in Jones case and now he gets to decide if Jones is granted mental health  diversion.

Humboldt Superior Court has granted mental health diversion to other individuals who are repeat offenders and a clear danger to the public. What is common with all of them is that they are obsessed and diversion does not change that behavior. I have been targeted by such individuals. I have to see them at the Courthouse, near the Courthouse and deal with their obsession and harassment. I don't have the luxury of the DA's office resources and attorneys, a Victim  Witness Advocate or to go hide and be John Doe.

The two victims who were named in the Ramey warrant and the original complaint were listed with their name. I removed their names and added the amended complaint which does not have their names but lists them as Jane Does.

A lot of people were threatened by Jones. He could target anyone. In the Ramey warrant, there is information that was stated in court. Jones knows who the Jane Does are; many of us know. I attempted to speak with Ms. Joanne Carter who represents the two women and held off on posting the Ramey warrant.  There are a lot of details and the name of a Jane Doe is one detail. These two women can get a protective order. The rest of us don't have that privilege. Other alleged victims did not demand their names be anonymous.

This is not a sex abuse or molestation case. The DA's office choses to list Jane Does in some other cases. That is their choice and pressure from certain groups. 

I like my readers to read all information not redacted. Jones' obsession with these two women led to his putting an entire community at danger. Jones moved to Humboldt County at 12 years old and briefly dated someone in middle school for two weeks alone is enough to show he is a danger and should not be released into the community. There is other overwhelming evidence.

To the two Jane Does: right now, Senior Deputy Roger Rees, the DA's office, the investigators, law enforcement, I or anyone else preventing Jones being released is more at danger or just as much as in danger as both of you. This case got a lot of attention when daily there are people who suffer the same danger, threats and harassment. Some people in Humboldt use their connections to be named Jane Does; some get other media coverage; others just have to deal with different treatment and just me covering their case. I deal with Daryl Jones and various Janes daily.

This is not to diminish what you two went through but Jones has not been convicted in a court of law; yet. While the other media will be PC and kow tow to you and your attorney; people on the second floor pay attention to what I write and so do my readers. The Ramey warrant demonstrates the excellent job done by APD Detective Celeste  Villarreal. Jones should not have been allowed to create the havoc he did and arrested earlier.

I am done with the constant PC Humboldt and over the top hysteria and selective treatment of who gets justice. I am tired of being targeted for keeping my community safe. I am over having to constantly watch my back because I report what no one else does. I am fed up of justice and protection for those who have money and connections. I am not putting up with certain people in Humboldt dictating what I can or cannot include because many in Humboldt are big on drama, hysteria and attention and clueless about journalism and news. Most of all, I am done not making money and losing the money I have because of self absorbed, petty and the entitled PC Humboldt crowd. I have to turn comments off just to get work done because there are too many people on Facebook, Reddit and online who apparently have no other job than to troll, attack and vent their misery on others actually doing something productive.

The Jones cases is one of many cases I cover daily. To me the alleged victims and victims in every case are important. I have put my time and my money for 12 plus years helping many people. I have to do these with life challenges which are a direct result of petty, selfish, tone deaf and mean Humboldt.

I have covered the Jones case, the preliminary hearing and developments in detail. I was the first and only one to get a photo of Jones in court. The hearing on the defense petition on mental health diversion has been heard and covered once. I will report on the outcome but there is no need for me to cover court proceedings  this afternoon or this time for information most people and his alleged victims know who are in court, in person and have a Victim Witness Advocate and DA's office to inform them.

Sacramento Sheriff deputies executed six search warrants in three counties and arrested three suspects in homicide investigation

 




"In the early morning hours of Sunday, September 6, 2026, our Communication Center received a call from a residence on the 3700 block of Lenore Way in North Highlands. The caller described finding a family member, an adult male, deceased inside the residence. Deputies responded and determined it was a Homicide. Crime Scene Investigators (CSI) and Homicide Detectives responded to the scene.

Through an extensive investigation, detectives identified the suspects as 38-year-old Alfredo Garcia, 45-year-old Federico Farfan, and 37-year-old Hector Medina. Detectives subsequently obtained arrest warrants for all three suspects on murder and conspiracy charges.

On Thursday, October 8, 2026, detectives executed search warrants at six different locations throughout Sacramento County, Modesto, and Tulare County. All three suspects were taken into custody and booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail where they remain ineligible for bail."--Sacramento County Sheriff


Demurrer denied in Redwood Teen Challenge wrongful death lawsuit, change of attorneys delays trial setting

 



Humboldt Superior Court Judge April Van Dyke overruled Redwood Teen Challenge's demurrer on 7/2/26. It was not available in e court when I did my July 11 post and I have added page 1 and 16 of the ruling.

Mr. Felton's request for a continuance was granted and trial setting was continued to 12/10/26.

Judge Canning signs order granting preliminary approval of Hillsdale lawsuit class action settlement


Humboldt Superior Court Judge Timothy Canning Judge signed the court order granting preliminary approval of the class settlement between Hillsdale tenants and Dwivedi LLC/Anil Dwivedi.

I said months ago and more than once, Anil Dwivedi would settle before the November 2026 election.

I have been covering all 4 lawsuits for months. This is not breaking news. I will add the order later. Most local lawyers will not take cases against local landlords. What Janssen Malloy has done with will protect future tenants. I covered this for months regularly. I saw the time Janssen Malloy put in and their were 4 lawsuits. They were threatened by Dwivedi's law firm. My readers have the complete details in previous posts; not random coverage here and there, whether it is this case or other cases. I also lived at Hillsadale Apartments last year. I am not a part of nor do I profit from this settlement as the actions did not impact me. I have mentioned my being a former tenant several times.

Even if a settlement is approved and signed, will Anil pay and when?

Status Conference for final settlement is scheduled for 4/09/2027.

"Individuals that we targeted in today's operations are selling drugs to homeless people. They’re keeping the homeless addicted to hard drugs"



 

Has Cornelius dumped Casey Dresser or is he the "ultimate troll?"


This screenshot is from LOCO comments on the post on the homeless shelter in Old Town. 

Reader correct about former local attorney Callie Buck not being in Humboldt; her three cases still in local court

 


Former local attorney Callie Buck failed to appear for court on 7/13/26. This afternoon, Buck had arraignment scheduled in CR2601394 petty theft case, CR2501701 violation of probation and CR2401594 DUI case VOP.

Reader who commented on my last post was correct that Buck was no longer in Humboldt.

Humboldt Superior Court Judge Heather Durand's name is listed in minutes for Courtroom 2. The cases were being called by Humboldt Superior Court Presiding Judge Kelly Neel. 

Buck is represented by the Humboldt County Public Defender's office. Buck was re-referred to DV program and can complete in any county.

In CR2601394, trial confirmation is on 2/2/27; jury trial on 2/8/27. VOP pre trial and revocation hearing scheduled in CR2501701 + CR2401594. These two cases are trailing. 

Crickets from Anil lately; especially on the sanctuary policies

 

Anil Dwivedi who is quick to answer questions on LOCO elections has been silent recently.

Coincidence after my September 30 post? Questions on LOCO elections inconvenient lately?

Other candidates don't always answer right away but Anil usually did so what changed in the last week?

I recall at least two people asking the sanctuary question on LOCO. Gustavo today.




I got this email before shortly at 11:20 this morning.

"Hello John,

I recently attended Anil's latest town hall, where he adamently and vehemently, repeatedly, stated his first order of business would be to immediately end all sanctuary statuses. 

I find it curious that this is one question he refuses to answer. He answers every question within minutes it is posted, but this one seems to go ignored and was posted days ago. 

Additionally, he continuously publicly invites everybody to ask "the hard questions", so I began asking about his prior businesses months ago, specifically about how he operated under regional oversight , with his cannabis company by failing to update the address, and pointing out public testimony about those businesses and how we operated them. He told me I was "making assumptions" and "provoking him" (I have as business filing records) and then blocked me so I could no longer ask him the questions. I am all over his Facebook page, asking the questions repeatedly with only, what I would call, BS answers before getting blocked. "

I asked the person for some follow up and screenshots offered by this person.

I asked someone about Anil's sign near the Ming Tree office in Eureka on 5th and J which disappeared. Larry Doss has not seen the light about Anil; I was told by someone else at the location, people keep stealing Anil's signs and Larry keeps replacing them. As of last night, Larry had not replaced the sign.

The good ole boy conservatives criteria for candidates is not what decent conservatives or moderates prefer. The liberals didn't even bother to offer an alternative to establishment Kim Bergel. If she wins, it isn't because she is liked by the majority or by law abiding citizens in Eureka or because she ran a campaign. It is because the other two candidates are horrible choices. I wrote in the candidate I said I would because all three are equally unacceptable to be the mayor of Eureka.

Once again, a response after being called out by me. Anil responded to questions.

Jorden Place has a fee waiver, so who paid the fee?

 




If you have not followed my ongoing coverage on Jorden Sterling aka Jorden Place's criminal and civil cases, you can read previous coverage via the search feature on the blog.

This is for all the people familiar with Jordo in the community and everyone at 825 Fifth Street. The civil clerks are inundated with useless civil filings by pro per and vexatious litigants I have covered so I will not be bothering them with questions to clarify default denied and who paid the fee. That is a question that the Humboldt Superior Court Judge hearing the case and arguments should ask. Unless the courts are flush with money.

I read Jordo's opposition and motion to compel. Melisa Sterling is his mother. Patty Comarsh referred to Jordo as her son on social media.

Another example of Jordo wasting time, court resources because he has no clue. 



The enablers are fine with Josan being on the streetsand homeless. The keyboard warriors of Humboldt will scream and blame law enforcement. They will stalk and harass me and anyone speaking the truth. The "Josans" are on the streets because of them



Josan is back on the streets within hours and screaming.

Josan Gianna Hattje arrested by Eureka Police Department by PC 647 (f) yesterday. She is constantly drunk, wanders around 4th, 5th, 6th street and I have seen her daily for at least 4 years.

You cannot help someone who will accept it or change. Why is she on the streets? California enablers call it "compassion"; "dignity" and tout programs as "success" that the liberal media publishes as PR.

The enablers are fine with Josan being on the streets and homeless. The keyboard warriors of Humboldt will scream and blame law enforcement. They will stalk and harass me and anyone speaking the truth. The "Josans" are on the streets because of them.

Convicted sex offender Robert Munts arrested again and released on OR

 










I stopped covering convicted sex offender Robert Munts after he was found not competent to stand trial. Another Humboldt Public Defender client.

Munts was arrested by Eureka Police Department Sgt. Brian Ross yesterday afternoon for PC 647 (f) public intoxication  and PC 415 (2) disturbing the peace. He was released on OR.

I had prepped this post knowing it was a matter of time when Munts would be arrested; not if he would be arrested.

Munts is in the Courthouse, near the Courthouse like other lurkers. He knows how to work the system. The Humboldt County Public Defender's Office does not give a damn about public safety. If they could, every single client would get mental health diversion or be found not competent to stand trial.

Munts just roams the streets of Eureka when he should be locked away in jail, prison or the State Hospital thanks to the criminal enabling Dems.

To EPD and the PIOs, thank you for the time you will put in tomorrow and you do everyday. My not being at the meet and greet has nothing to do with you



On September 15, Eureka Police Department sent out an invite to all media for a Regional PIO meet and greet. It takes place tomorrow from 10 a.m to 11 a.m. I sent my RSVP right away.

I will not post the location because this is for media only and not open to the public. I attended a similar event which was for EPD only.

"This will be a great opportunity for our local media partners to meet the PIOs and communications representatives from law enforcement agencies throughout our region, put faces to names, and establish points of contact for future media inquiries and critical incidents. This is intended specifically as an opportunity for our regional PIOs and local media partners to connect, get to know one another, and build stronger working relationships." --from invite

While this is an excellent idea and I thank EPD for organizing it, I will not be there. I heard not all media will be there tomorrow.

I informed Rachel Sollom yesterday why I could not be there. There are a few reasons but the ones that my readers need to know is that with the exception of Blue Lake Rancheria; I already know and have a good working relationship with the other PIOS. Better with some such as EPD, HCSO and CHP because they are the ones I have contact with the most based on what I cover. Blue Lake Rancheria is minority owner of LOCO and the tribes only respond to certain media. I am not wasting my time on unprofessionals.

I also know basic common sense policies and I follow those in place. I don't have time being the only one doing everything and one person to attend this event. For decades, there are certain media and their staff/freelancers who do whatever they want. They still will after tomorrow. I don't have time to waste on Humboldt "media" who like the criminals and powers to be I regularly cover think they are above the law and rules. I can do my job without a PIO available and I contact them when necessary. The masks have come off with certain local media and the fake niceness is gone. There were people from other local media in the past I worked with, helped and respected.

My time is better spent covering news and getting it to my readers live and as quickly as I do daily. This week is just as busy as any other day. I also cover regional and national news.

To EPD and the PIOs, thank you for the time you will put in tomorrow and you do everyday. My not being at the meet and greet has nothing to do with you.


While I am trying to report on an EPD response at one business, this is what happens

 



4:28 Saw EPD CSET Sgt. Brian Ross and Officer Dimitri "Tag" Tagaropoulos get out of their vehicle. I would have had a photo of them entering Abraxas on 5th street in Eureka  but was interrupted and harassed by one of the "regulars" with his brown paper bag.  His response to me pointing out that EPD are across the street was to tell me to "Fuck off." This happens constantly while I try to work every day because of the Eureka and Humboldt enablers. Then he followed me into another business.

FBI arrests 18 year old for planning mass casualty attack

 




Third anniversary of October 7 attack on Israel

 


Deputy DA Roger Rees on his personal time today excercising his First Amendment on October 7 in front of the Courthouse. While I was taking this photo, there were an equal number of supporters and the usual screamers and protestors. 

At 4:22, someone from Israel walked by to talk with Mr. Rees. The smile on her face spoke volumes. I gave them privacy for their conversation.
