Airport employee files request for restraining order against Shannon Miranda

 

Maegan Tara Masters of Mckinleyville filed a request for civil harassment restraining order against Shannon Miranda today so no court date yet. 

She alleges "Shannon Miranda has come to airport twice when not flying, the second time he threatened to my supervisor he will come after me. He called tsa manager looking for me, which was a third incident." This is how word to word from page 1 of the petition.

On page 3, Maegan claims Shannon told her supervisor, "If I don't shut the fuck up he will come get me..."

Read the rest of the petition. I cropped page 1 because it has home addresses for both parties although Shannon's address is public in several public documents and media coverage.

I cropped the address in this petition even though it is a public document because I have personally been stalked, harrased and threatened by irrational people on both sides.

Maegan's FB profile is public and corroborates her employment.

Remember my report that Shannon claimed an airport employee took his photo when he went to Vegas? I did not have a name at that time but we will find out soon enough. I have reached out to Megan. Shannon has to be served so no use contacting for comment. He gets to present his side at a hearing.

I have reported on other such requests both from Shannon and his husband involving Jenna Moore. Most of you have read my prior coverage on lawsuits and the Miranda's Rescue Investigation.

How long will it take for the other copycat local media to run to the Courthouse or report on my original work, yet again, instead of putting in effort on their own?

Defense and homicide suspect Christopher Diven need to stop wasting taxpayer money and come down to reality

6th consecutive continuance for trial setting in convicted felon and homicide suspect Christopher Diven's murder case , 2nd continuance to further consider DA's offer. He has two other cases. Deputy Public Defender Ryan McClurg and Diven need to come down to reality and stop wasting taxpayer money and accept the People's offer. Humboldt criminals think they are in charge and if this was in other states; a judge would stop allowing the defense and criminals to abuse due process  who face life sentences. What is there to consider? Diven faces life in prison; he should be grateful for a plea deal. The offer was made at the last hearing.

CA AG files felony charges against former Lassen Superior Court Executive Officer for allegedly misappropriating public funds

Former Lassen Superior Court Executive Officer Theresa Stalter was charged in a criminal complaint filed on October 7, 2026. 

The CA AG Office did not release the name and other details which I looked up and added to this post.

I appreciate Ms. Kathleen Bryson reaching out to me about what led to the encounter yesterday between her and Ken Bareilles

I appreciate Ms. Kathleen Bryson reaching out to me about what led to the encounter yesterday between her and Ken Bareilles. 

I have asked for  a written response from her which I will include in this new post when I receive it.

There are several people who witnessed what happened yesterday and my report is based on several accounts.

Multiple arrests, violation of court orders, keeps getting arrested and still got supervised release

 

This is frequently arrested Rufus Cooke. Photo provided when he was taken into custody by a recovery agent. More than one bail company has posted bond. Only one local company bothered to arrest him. The problem is Humboldt judges keep releasing him on supervised release and is back in custody. Of course, he is a Humboldt Public Defender client.

Today, he was arraigned on three cases. They weren't even his most recent 2026 cases. Two of them were for violating court orders.

His supervised release was terminated in one case by Humboldt Superior Court Judge Heather Durand. Bail exonerated in one case. Set in another case. Cooke was remanded into custody. Acting belligerent in court Rufus does not work well. Two of his bail bonds representatives were in court for other reasons and got to watch Rufus act out.

Feel free to google Rufus.

Changes starting immediately today

I usually post on Facebook first, then the blog with more details and other platforms. Starting today, there are going to be changes. I will post less press releases, I will post on Facebook first. Not every post will be on Facebook or the blog or other platforms because the audience varies. Facebook is not where I can do detailed posts and add court documents. Humboldt news, particularly court cases are very time consuming. I make live reporting look effortless; I have scoops and exclusives others do not and they are hours, days, weeks behind what I report consistently. I have news no one else covers. 

Tenth CA correctional officer enters guilty plea to sexually abusing inmates in Dublish federal prison

Former Bureau of Prisons correctional officer David Perez pleaded guilty today to sexually abusing two female inmates at the Federal Correction Institution in Dublin, Calif., a low- and minimum-security federal prison for females. Perez also admitted to making false statements to federal investigators. He is the tenth correctional officer to have either pleaded guilty or been convicted at trial as part of an ongoing federal investigation into sexual abuse of inmates at FCI Dublin.

The U.S. Attorney's Office of Northern California issued a press release today with more details.

Raeleen Olson granted supervised release, preliminary hearing delayed until next year

 

Today, Raeleen Olson's preliminary hearing was continued by Deputy Public Defender Casey Russo to 1/7/27 for setting despite objection by Deputy DA Trent Timm. This was after Humboldt Superior Court Judge Lawrence Kiloran granted supervised release. I have included court minutes which have details why the no bail hold was changed. Toxicology results are pending.

Justice for Anisha but in the civil case filed against Ocean DelCastillo

 

Lost Coast Outpost reporting inaccurate and incomplete again in Ocean DelCastillo's criminal case today. 

Justice for Anisha Anisha Nicole Gutshall is not just going to be in the criminal case but in the civil case filed against Ocean DelCastillo. When I saw Mr. William Stein at arraignment, I knew there was a civil case. I waited to post on it until today.

In the criminal case, Senior Deputy DA Roger Rees amended the complaint adding aggravating circumstances under Rule 4.421 (a) (1) the crime involved great violence and that under Rule 4.421 (a) (3) the victim was particularly vulnerable. Deputy Public Defender Emery Welton objected but the amendment was granted by Humboldt Superior Court Judge Lawrence Killoran. No admission today and the matter set for trial. No bail hold remains for DelCastillo. Court minutes did not have any details about the plea entered by the end of the day so that information will be updated when it is available.

Sentencing and court trial on circumstances in aggravation on 12/15. In his second case, DelCastillo is eligible for PC 1000 drug diversion; that will be addressed on 12/15.

Charane Sirrine charged with two felonies and great bodily injury in St. Bernard's incident

The Humboldt County DA filed a complaint today charging Charane Sirrine with two felonies and special allegation of great bodily injury for both Count 1 and Count 2. Arraignment is scheduled for  12/15/26.

I was the first to post the Ramey warrant and so readers know the deadly weapon is a Stainless steel water bottle.

Showdown between two private attorneys outside Courtroom 5 at the Humboldt County Courthouse

Right before lunch, showdown between two private attorneys on the second floor of the Humboldt County Courthouse outside Courtroom 5. 

Who needs MMA or WWF/WWE or Jerry Springer? In Humboldt, there is daily entertainment for free at 825 Fifth Street.

Ken Bareilles got into it with Kathleen Bryson regarding a client.

I arrived right after this occurred so the colorful details are from people who observed and heard the yelling. Kathleen was in Courtroom 5 when a certain case was called. She came out of the courtroom and was talking with a client of Ken's telling the woman "she could do better" and dissing Ken as an attorney and that "he was throwing the client under the bus." I don't disagree with Kathleen that the client could use a better attorney but there are other Humboldt attorneys besides Ken who can claim that "title."

Ken came out and told the woman that the DA had made an offer. He told Kathleen if the woman wanted another attorney, she could sign a substitution of attorney. Ken took umbrage at what he perceived as Kathleen poaching his client. Ken told the woman, they needed to go inside the courtroom and make a decision about the offer.

More arguing between Kathleen and Ken. Kathleen yelled, "Fuck you Kenny, you fucker." 

Again, I did not hear this myself.

All this in front of out of the area attorneys who are here for a trial.

Ken is the same attorney who told other out of area attorneys; they have a mutual client;  something to the effect that it is "a good thing his clients are stupid" and he can keep appearing in court and billing them. Ken is aware who he said that too at the Humboldt County Courthouse. This was when Ken met them initially.

At 12:55, a woman clearly with mental health issues is walking around screaming, "Hello, I have court! Hello! I have court!" and was headed towards court admin as I left the second floor. 

Courts are closed for lunch between 12 and 1:30.

They need to have a mental health clinician on that floor or in the building at all times with all the cray cray who are in the building daily instead of the bailiffs, court staff and public being subjected to people who shouldn't be wandering the streets but it is California where laws that make sense are railroaded by enablers who are have no clue. Thanks to no consequence Democrats, every public space is overrun by criminals or mentally ill who refuse or won't take meds. 

Try working daily under this chaotic, crazy environment and then going home where the zombies scream and act out day and night. 

Miranda's Rescue permit still suspended; only submission is for fence and to remove "Cat Condo"

I sent an email to Mr. John Ford, Director of Humboldt County Planning and Building, at noon on 10/28/26 asking "if Miranda's Rescue permit is still suspended. Have they submitted any information about compliance?"

He responded, "Yes they are still suspended.  

The Wastewater disposal still needs to be approved.  There has been no submitted yet.

Building Permit has been submitted for the fence and to remove the "Cat Condo".

Driveway aprons have not yet been addressed."

Another repeat offender arrested for drugs and probation violation

 

On October 27, 2026, at approximately 3:00 p.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) patrol deputies conducted a traffic stop in the 3500 block of Broadway in Eureka for an observed traffic violation. The driver, identified as Thomas Grzymski Sr., 48, was found to be on felony probation with a general search and seizure clause. Shortly after the stop, deputies assigned to HCSO’s Problem Oriented Policing (POP) Team arrived to assist with the investigation.

County cannot provide further comment to the press why Rex is being investigated at this time

 

Other than the County of Harrassment and Discrimination Policy which does nothing to inform me or the public about why First District Rex Bohn is being investigated, this is the response I got from the County of Humboldt a few minutes ago.

I walked in briefly this afternoon to the Board of Supervisor's meeting this afternoon for a few seconds while storm damage was being discussed. Rex has not parked in front of or the side of the Courthouse Monday or Tuesday.

The only item of interest for me on today's agenda is the lawsuit against the County of Humboldt I reported on this weekend. 

The lawsuit alleges John KS Doe was "sexually abused, harassed and molested at the hands of Humboldt County Deputy Probation Officers and employees (hereinafter referred to as "THE PERPETRATORS")". The alleged incidents took place at the Humboldt County Juvenile Hall.The alleged conduct "on or after January 1, 2002." 

These kind of lawsuits happen due to the good ole boy and gal mentality of Humboldt, their bootlickers and those who cover for them. 

I have my own hunch about these alleged violations by Rex and I am being observant. 

At COPP meeting today, report given about an EPD command level employee at a local public event which was not timely investigated and had the 1 year statute of limitations for discipline expire

 

If you forward to 9:25 on the video of this meeting, OIR Teresa Magula talks about the complaint in 2023 in which a member of the public alleged biased and unlawfulenforcement from an an EPD command level employee at a local public event. This was not timely investigated and the 1 year statute of limitations for discipline expired. Eureka Police Department still reviewed the report which resulted in  recommendations for sworn police officers and body cams.

These are the 2023 complaints. The complaint that had the statute of limitations expire was 23-15.

If you read my reporting, you know how I feel about Eureka Police Department. This is relevant news. Better I report right away with full facts than the anti police bias in most liberal local media where mostly anons and anyone with a FB account and grudge can say anything unchallenged.

I had this up minutes after the meeting concluded while posting other news. That is live reporting, multitasking and the ability to summarize complex information for the public in minutes and I do it every day.
