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. 

Following Facebook and the blog regularly and daily is the best and free option. Starting today, I may not post all exclusive content on any platform. Starting today, I will not list every hearing for every case from arrest to outcome. If you are an advertiser or pay for a six month or yearly subscription, you get customized one on one updates. If you make a one time contribution, that is appreciated regardless of the amount. Not everyone asks for anything but I offer customized benefits. There are people who have supported me for years and over the years.  

Keeping a log of dates for repeat offenders or every Humboldt offender is not worth my time or skill. What I do, what I post, will change day to day. My ad rates, subscription rates have gone up. 

I can use my skills to do other work less stressful and financially worth my time than what I currently do 24/7. No one will necessarily see the change in my content.

People find my email easily for all other reasons except to pay. I am not answering questions unless you are willing to pay a minimum $25 or $50 in good faith. Been made promises with no follow up too many times and the lack of follow through is always from Humboldt. Most of you who read me see me every day or have my contact information.

The good ole boys and gals can pout or they can work with me but it will not be on the terms they use with others and no one controls me. I report for the People. I watch out for your interests. I'd rather be funded by you. I am working on options to contribute, even a link or another convenient option but I need to see it is worth my effort in Humboldt. People who want to invest and thank me get in touch with me.

We have good lawyers and businesses and there are effective ways to promote and market them not being used by others.

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 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. And told the woman, they needed to go inside the courtroom and deal with the offer.

More argument. 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.

Newsom appoints Candy Stockton-Joreteg to the Tobacco Education and Research Oversight Committee

California Governor Gavin Newsom's Press Office just announced appointment of  Eureka's Candy Stockton-Joreteg to the Tobacco Education and Research Oversight Committee. She is  the County Health Officer at the Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Branch.

Thomas Miranda arrested for driving under the influence of a drug

73 year old Thomas Dennis Miranda was arrested by CHP for VC 23152(f) driving under the influence of a drug. He was released on O.R.

Miranda has a conviction in a 2012 drug case and was represented in that case by Mr. Neal Sanders.

Michael Acosta's law license is active again

 

Shortly before midnight, I received an email from Michael Acosta which was in my spam folder. I very rarely check the spam folder. 

I confirmed with the State Bar of California myself and he is law license is active as of last Friday.

Acosta later provided me with this order from the State Bar of California.

Meta admits to erroneously suspending the Instagram account of the No Kings Coalition protest movement on October 17

California Attorney General and 13 other state Attorney Generals sent a letter to Meta today "asking Meta to further explain its suspension of the No Kings Coalition Instagram account on October 17, 2026, and to detail its plans to ensure that legitimate election activity on Meta platforms is not disrupted. "

At 5 p.m. today CA AG office issued this statement.

The Nylander family 2024 lawsuit has settled

 

Today, the 2024 Nylander family lawsuit drama ended. The case has settled. There is a dismissal hearing on 12/14/26 but since settlement was approved by Judge Canning; if dismissal is filed, no appearances needed on that date.

I have been the only one covering this regularly for months and years. Most recent post was October 12. If you even read my last three posts; you could see this outcome.

The lesson here is hire Ms. Heather Burke and Mr. Dustin Owens because Cyndy Day-Wilson's clients paid her a lot of money and got nothing.

Christopher Holloway arrested for attempted murder and domestic violence

Christopher Daniel Holloway was arrested yesterday afternoon by Eureka Police Department for PC 664/187(a) attempted murder and PC 273.5(a) domestic violence.

It is back as business with usual for Rex

 

Humboldt County First District Supervisor Rex Bohn's truck was back in front of the 5th street entrance of the Courthouse on Sunday. The truck was there when I walked by at 9:56 a.m. yesterday It was gone by 11:18 a.m. when I was near the Courthouse again. Rex does park in that spot during weekdays.  Certain people from the County have access to parking in the secured basement of the Courthouse but I have always seen Rex park on 5th street except the one day when he was on I street.

Usually on weekends, the only ones in the Courthouse are HCSO and anyone working at the DA's office so less chance of Rex potentially violating any County policy? If he did; who would know?

I have reached out to the CAO's office and HR's office and asked if any of this information was released to other media and in the PRA above, I want the same information. I have never received a response the same day I filed a PRA so if the County will be selective in responding to me, I will add that to my documentation.

I told the County CAO's office and HR don't need to confirm the authencity of the email sent to Rex. The County of Humboldt has used Kramer Workplace Investigations in the past when Second District Supervisor Bushnell was investigated and Rex was investigated the first time. You can search coverage of those posts for free on google or via the search feature on this  site.

Had I received information the same day I put in a PRA, I would have had a post up right away despite what my daily workload is and I am one person. That is the difference between me and other local media.

These investigations by the County cost a chunk of money. Google is your friend, if you want to look up the numbers. The good ole boys and gals from the "left"  and "right" who benefit from the people like Rex they support and prop for decades have failed this County. They don't care because having their stooges in elected office works for them. 

Unless you are one of the Humboldt cabal's chosen, the Rexosaurses in office do not benefit you but they can make your life harder. Rex is the longest serving current Supervisor who has served the most terms, despite him saying more than once that he will not run again. 

While I want answers to certain questions; whether they are answered now or after the investigation is complete is not as important as knowing if if violations have occurred and Rex facing actual consequences than some meaningless dog and pony show at a Board of Supervisors meeting.

Rex has been in the Supervisor position for too long. He is rude, arrogant, has no class and is annoying AF except to his fawning clique who are online attacking anyone who points out the obvious and intimidating them into silence. In person, they are smarmy or do it behind one's back like the cowards they are.

If Lost Coast Outpost's good ole boy owners and publishers had any cajones; they would have interviewed Nicholas Jay and asked for proof of the emails and texts. LOCO isn't interested in investigating. They regurgitated a FB post which carries zero risk.

Nicholas did a better summary about Rex than the so called other local media. 

The narcissist comment is obvious as the sky being blue.

5:22 p.m. It is the end of the day and no surprise, Humboldt County CAO Elishia Hayes, Assistant CAO Sean Quincey and HR Directory Zachary O'Hanen have not responded to my email.
