Poppa Rex has not been as visible at the Courthouse, at least his truck

 

All of last week, First District Rex Bohn "behaved." Did not park in front of the Courthouse; I did not see him guffawing anywhere on the first floor but I have not been at the Courthouse all day or as often.

On Saturday, 10/31, predictable Poppa Rex's truck was parked on 5th Street in front of the Humboldt County Courthouse. At 11, I walked padt 5th street, only to see Rex drive by at 11:02, I saw him and he glanced sideway at me on 4th street near I street.

Hard for Rex to get in trouble with only the deputies around on the weekend the occasional Deputy DA. No one to see what you are doing either.

This week, Poppa Rex is behaving again. Must be using the parking space in the basement.

The last time Rex was investigated, he was more visible around the Courthouse.

The Courthouse smells nicer on the first floor. It is devoid of that good ole boy arrogance stench.

My post earlier about Tyler Colegrove and Alyssa Hansen being suspects was 100% accurate

 

(Tyler Colegrove)

(Alyssa Hansen)

My post at 11:52 a.m. named Tyler Colegrove and Alyssa Hansen. Then at 12:57 a.m. I reported arrests in connections to recent shootings and them being booked in jail. Colegrove and Hansen information was corroborated by the press release issued by HCSO at 4:34 p.m. You can thank Carmen and her son who contacted HCSO. I mentioned them in my earlier post. Carmen's son should be given credit for taking the risk and helping HCSO.

Now, Humboldt Superior Court judges and the Humboldt County District Attorney's Office need to do their job and Tyler Colegrove needs to face legal consequences for his continued actions endangering this community. And, not diversion; time in custody.

HCSO press release:

On November 3, 2026, at approximately 2:36 a.m., the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Communications Center received multiple 911 calls reporting gunfire in the area of Circle Drive in Eureka.

Deputies responded to the area and located a residence on Harwill Court that had been struck by gunfire. The Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Division responded to the scene and initiated an extensive investigation. Through investigative efforts, detectives identified two individuals believed to be responsible for the shooting. The suspects have been identified as 19-year-old Tyler Peter Colegrove of Hoopa and 19-year-old Alyssa Regina Hansen of McKinleyville.

Arrest warrants have been issued for both. 

Colegrove is wanted on charges of:

P.C 664/187-Attempted Murder

P.C. 422(a)-Criminal Threats

P.C. 182-Consiracy to Commit a Crime

Hansen is wanted on the charge of:

P.C. 182-Conspiracy to Commit a Crime

Both individuals should be considered armed and dangerous. Anyone who sees either suspect is urged not to approach them and to call 9-1-1 immediately.

Pursuant to California Penal Code section 13665(a)(1), the Sheriff’s Office is releasing a booking photograph of Colegrove, along with a photograph of Hansen, to assist the public in identifying the wanted individuals.

The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s assistance in locating Colegrove and Hansen. Anyone with information regarding this investigation or their location is urged to contact the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office at (707) 445-7251 or the Sheriff’s Office Tip Line at (707) 268-2539.

The Sheriff’s Office reminds the public not to approach these individuals or attempt to intervene. Anyone with information about their whereabouts should contact law enforcement immediately.

Four days, three shots fired investigations involving three law enforcement agencies

 

Yesterday, reports of gunshots fired in Arcata. Arcata Police Department located physical evidence two blocks away today. No reports yet of gunshot victims or injuries. HCSO assisted APD.

Defense files motion for new trial, juror identifying information in convicted molestor Christopher Griffin's case

Convicted molestor Christopher Griffin was sentenced today. His attorney, Paul Gallegos filed several motions on 10/27, 10/28 and one yesterday for a motion to continue; motion for new trial on Count 2 and motion regarding juror identifying information. Motion to continue and motion for new trial denied by Retired Humboldt Superior Court Judge Christopher Wilson. Motion regarding juror was vacated.

Senior Deputy Whitney Timm is the prosecutor. 

I have included just three screenshots from my coverage on this case.

2:41 p.m. The DA issued a press release. Judge Christopher Wilson sentenced Griffin to 40 years to life in prison.

I said right away that Higgins Street was a targeted shooting and involved a repeat offender

I have been adding my own follow up and HCSO updates and press releases to the October 31 post about the Higgins street shooting.

I get that HCSO wants to investigate and build a case but in a second press release about the Harwill Court shooting, they were fine stating initial information indicated a targeted shooting. The least they could have done is let the public know if they believe it is a repeat offender in the Higgins street shooting. That does not jeopardize the Higgins street investigation.

I did contact HCSO Lt. Taylor over the weekend who gave me the standard response.

Both people who sent me tips did so with a disclaimer  and did not state these are the suspects but both tips indicate it is a repeat offender and targeted shooting.

It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out this is the behavior of an experienced criminal or gang type behavior. If a Hoopa "gang" or Tyler Colegrove or Chris Mellon are involved; it is relevant because this is yet another time everything is hush hush with HCSO when Colegrove or Hoopa maybe involved. And that is a political decision made by HCSO brass.

The last time I broke the news and reported a search for a gun at Dawn Colegrove's house. That was my own work and a tip provided.

 Colegrove is out on the streets thanks to the useless Humboldt injustice court system despite multiple arrests. There have been a lot of crimes involving Hoopa repeat offenders and that takes a lot of resources from HCSO who are short staffed. Eureka Police Department and HCSO are not funded by the Hoopa Tribe. There is enough local crime from residents who live in Eureka and Humboldt County who are not members of any tribe.

(2024 Instagram post from Bill Davidson Bonds) 

I received a tip about possible involvement from Juan Diego Garcia-Zepeda's crew and someone named Miguel who does own the residence involved in the Higgins Street shooting. This is not some random person from the community and I cannot say more or it will identify my source.

I just received this other tip at 11 a.m. today. It refers to both the Higgins Street and Harwill Court shooting incidents.

"Hi there John, my name is Carmen Hernandez. My son lives in Eureka, and has made me aware of the recent shootings there and was able to give me some context as well as names. I've also reported these details to the sheriffs office detectives, specifically Brian Buinher. My son is a known gang member there in Eureka is on probation and doing well to keep off the streets and out of the drama that comes with it. I am choosing to keep his name off of this for his own safety and peace of mind. My son is good friends with the boys that live at both houses that were targeted. The targeted boys themselves are not gang members but are actual  friends with a few boys associated with the HOGN gang. My son's friend Ricky, is a close friend and the target of the second shooting that occurred on the morning of 11/2. He lives with his grandma and little brother. He's a good kid and a college student. The kind of friend I would any my son to have. Anyway, Ricky was dating a girl named Alyssa Hansen of Arcata earlier this year/last year. They broke up a few months ago, and Alyssa is now dating Tyler Colgrove. Tyler and his friend Chris Mellon are known to be affiliated with the Hoopa gang called the Pine Creek Crips. Both Tyler and Chris were implicated as shooters. From what I've heard both boys have been staying a lot in Arcata at Alyssa's house. My son's friend told me that they have not had any direct beef with these boys- which is why he is so freaked out. Aside from Tyler now dating Ricky's ex, and my son and his friends's loose association with the HOGN boys, they don't understand why they're being targeted. Like I said my son is gang affiliated but is not active, but my assumption is that because his affiliation is with the Norteno gang, that he could possibly be considered a rival to this newly dubbed Pine Creek Crip gang. To be clear my son is not okay with community violence and random attacks against normal everyday people despite his gang ties. He feels it lacks ethics and respect altogether and I feel similarly. Anyway thanks for listening , I hope they can get a solid case built but so far it’s all double hearsay. I’ve attached two pictures from Chris Mellon and Tyler Colgrove’s IG accounts. "

By putting this out, there is documentation. Probation, HCSO should provide Carmen and her family protection. With the specific details from both tips; it is likely that  even if some hearsay is involved, there is enough reason to investigate any involvement from these repeat offenders. I have given up expecting protection for me from HCSO. Eureka Police Department does watch out for me but they cannot do anything with the useless Democrats and California laws. After last night; I don't expect any changes to law and order or the anti public safety Democrats to take any steps to benefit the people. 

If HCSO wants the public's help, they need to be forthcoming about basics and stop jeopardizing the community because it is not my job or Carmen's to investigate crimes or protect the community. They have an idea who is involved and simply saying details will be released with a vague timeline is not good enough.

12:57 p.m. update: Exclusive! Someone arrested in connection with the recent shootings and is being booked in the jail right now. Not neccesarily all the suspects in all shootings. That is all I have right now.

Who broke the window on what looks like the second floor of the Humboldt County Courthouse on the 4th street side?

 

Who broke the window on what looks like the second floor of the Humboldt County Courthouse on the 4th street side? Someone trying to escape because if it was done from outside, that is quite a throw.

Even Fox News and Newsmax project Democrats have control of House and Senate

Even Fox News and Newsmax project Democrats have control of House and Senate. National media  is already saying Xavier Becerra is California's next Governor.

First election report, Governor and local races show predictable leads for Democrats

 

8:41 First election report. Xavier B, Kim Bergel, Victor Garcia and Jeff Leonard all have wide leads,  G. Mario leading Janelle Jackson but that gap compared to others with 16.81% of the votes counted.

Xavier Becerra 68.45%, Steve Hilton 31.55%. Measure I yes 70.50%.

9:55 Second election report. Gap between Janelle Jackson and G. Mario is down to about 4%. Rest of candidates maintain lead. With Xavier Becerra having 67.51 in the second report and national news calling that race, only Ward 3 matters in future reports.

11:39 Third election report. Ward 3 candidate Janelle Jackson further closes gap between her and G. Mario.

12:32 Final election night report. G. Mario still has a lead over Janelle Jackson.

Humboldt and Eureka do not need career politicians; they need Councilmembers who can relate to you and me

 

Throughout this campaign, two candidates have regularly kept in touch with me, listened to feedback even though I do not live in their Eureka Wards and cannot vote for them. Janelle Jackson and Jason McCutcheon. 

Jason posted today and these are heartfelt messages. In Ward 1 and in Eureka City Council in general, Jason is the voice of hardworking men and women who work with their hands, who have something better than a college degree; life experience and who are involved in their community like Jason coaching and mentoring youth. My college degree is not why I succeed. My skills are self taught in the field and my community involvement is what I enjoy. Jason, like Janelle, is local and invested in this community. I have spoken with Audra Sisson as well, another candidate for Ward 1. When even she is complimentary about Jason, that speaks volumes. Humboldt and Eureka do not need career  politicians; they need Councilmembers who can relate to you and me.

Aunna Bollman's needs to be on no bail and her mental health diversion terminated immediately

 

It was a matter of time before Aunna Bollman was arrested; again. Her last arrest was in September and that was her 13th criminal case. This would make it 14 criminal cases. I also covered her 4 civil restraining orders and there is a fifth request.

Bollman was arrested for PC 422 criminal threats, PC 653m(b), annoying/harassing phone calls, PC646.9(a) stalking and PC 12022.1(b) committing a felony while out on bail.

She managed to post bail after her last arrest. I checked and she has $30,000 bail with no.hold for this recent arrest. It was not the local bail companies but Bail Hotline which has posted bond for other defendants no local bail company will unleash on the public.

The DA has filed to terminate her mental health diversion. Bollman needs to be on no bail and sent to a secure psychiatric facility. She has been given too many chances. Unless there is one Humboldt judge with guts; this woman will continue to harass and threaten people.

Humboldt Superior Court has her last name entered two different ways so I had to do two searches for all her cases.

EPD issued this press release just now. 

"On November 3, 2026, the Eureka Police Department (EPD) was contacted by multiple victims who reported receiving numerous voice and text messages from a female threatening to murder them along with other members of their family.

The suspect, who was known to officers from prior contacts, was identified as Aunna Bollman, 44, of Eureka. An arrest warrant was issued for Bollman.

At approximately 1:00 p.m., an officer located Bollman on the sidewalk near Broadway and W. 14th Streets. As officers attempted contact with Bollman, she attempted to flee on foot. After a brief physical struggle, she was taken into custody.

Bollman was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility for stalking, criminal threats, annoying/harassing phone calls, and committing a criminal offense while out on bail."

Blake Reagan resolves DUI case for $75 court fine

 

Today, Blake Reagan resolved his 2026 DUI case at trial confirmation without even being present in court. He entered a plea and sentenced by Humboldt Superior Court Judge Heather Durand. Reagan hired Ms. Kathleen Bryson. The misdemeanor DUI charge was dismissed by Deputy DA Dave Watson. Reagan guilty plea was to possession of open container while driving which is an infraction. He has to pay a $75  court fine. 

TRO request by airport employee against Shannon Miranda denied by Judge Neel

 

Just as I thought the TRO requested by airport employee Maegan Masters against Shannon Miranda was denied until the court hearing on 11/18. Having it stated in a court order and why by Humboldt Superior Court Presiding Judge Kelly is stated on page 2 which I will add to the post on the blog. Unless Maegan can meet the requirements by law and has more evidence on 11/18, she is not going to get the restraining order.

HCSO investigating gunfire at Harwill Court residence

Another shots fired at a residence report HCSO is investigating. HCSO indicates "preliminary information indicates this was a targeted shooting."
