On the 10/27/26 agenda for the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors is a lawsuit against the County of Humboldt filed by John KS Doe.
He is represented by Margie Rene Potter, a San Francisco attorney who specializes in representing sexual assault survivors as well as employees for discrimination, retaliation and wrongful termination.
The complaint was filed on 9/29/26. A Case Management Conference is scheduled on 3/27/27.
I will check and see if the complaint has been scanned into e court.
On October 23, Anil Dwivedi, candidate for Eureka Mayor; Ward 3 candidate Janelle Jackson and Ward 1 candidate Jason McCutcheon filed their 460s.
Besides Cynthia Olsen, Dwivedi had to loan his campaign money. For all the conservative good ole boys endorsing him and spouting off on Facebook; they don't seem to open their wallets. Dwivedi's expenses list Meta.
Janelle's 460 has several retired law enforcement or family members and local contractor Will Adams.
Jason's 460 just has Marian Brady and Times Printing under expenses.
Took these photos an hour ago. Jail clog or the bs piling up at the Humboldt County Courthouse? The usual miscreants throw something and vandalize outside just as they do bathrooms and courtrooms inside?
1:40 update. It isn't the jail. Pipe being replaced at the Courthouse. No water on in the entire Courthouse which means any Deputy DAs or HCSO working over the weekend can't wash hands or flush toilets at 825 5th street.

Stella Mary Cornely filed a civil harassment petition against Charane Ellen Sirrine today. Additional protected party request is for her mother Joslyn Reese. No court date yet. Cornely has a fee waiver in the case. The TRO has not been granted yet. The TRO has not been granted yet.
I posted pages from the Ramey warrant. I looked at the court order. Made my observations and comparisons.
On page 6, Cornely wrote, "Please get this lady some help counsual/therapy. Racial hate is not okay."
Stella Mary Cornely's petition to change her name to Stella Mary Fontenot was granted today by Retired Humboldt Superior Court Judge Marilyn Miles. Ronette Achane, mother of Teqkauri , who told EPD Officer Jayme Clark about alleged racial slurs by Sirrine has 18 court cases in the Humboldt Superior Court system with some convictions, other guity pleas dismissed later. If you want to check them, go to Humboldt Superior Court yourself.
If you don't want me to publish your email, even keeping you anonymous, don't send it to me regarding the St. Bernard's incident. I am not a therapist and I have a lot of information people have shared so don't assume what I know. Unless it is relevant to the news coverage or the alleged incident and accompanied by proof and evidence, I don't have the time nor am I interested in perspectives or daily emails with opinions and claims about either party in this incident.
I have been about other incidents where people have told SB they will go to EPD. I have a lot more information than just the Michigan incident.
If you do not read and check my coverage regularly; all previous posts on Sirrine's arrest and the St. Bernard's incident are accessible for free via the search feature on this site. For convenience, there are paid options.
The attacks and harassment via email had stopped. They have predictably started in the last 24 hours. I will let my readers decide who would want to silence me and be bothered by reporting in the last 24 hours.
The California District Attorneys Association just issued this statement.
I received this email this morning but it has been a busy day. Since there are crickets from St. Bernard's about Michigan and my question and after First District Rex Bohn's Facebook post today, while this is anonymous, I am making an exception and posting it as a comment/letter/ feedback relevant to the St. Bernard's football game incident and Rex.
Those who followed me for years know the posts I did on Matt Tomlin and the roadblocks I encountered. St. Bernard's is free to respond to my questions and anything raised by this person.
Selective enforcement, selective prosecution, selective targeting = Humboldt. Selective conflicts of interests remain hidden or ignored and are revealed here because people know I do not kow tow to the Humboldt cabal and good ole git er done boys and gals.
What Humboldt crier left out is that most mentioned also attend and are connected to the Catholic Church. Rex as a Supervisor has access and influence over Sheriff William Honsal and DA Stacey Eads.
"Hi John,
It's crazy and welcomed to see someone finally came forward about the incident that happened at the SB football game. It has a lot more to do with this than just an away football game, Matt Tomlin or SB as a school. It's about the haves and have nots.
What your source probably didn't tell you is that in Michigan, when all of these shenanigans were happening, parents, coaches, and administrators were PLASTERED in the courtyard intoxicated while the kids were, well, being kids. This is the norm at every (well most) SB away sporting events where parents/coaches and administrators drink and the kids are always unsupervised. The day after, there are pictures online of the coaching staff, parents and admin on a drunk bus heading to the college football game.
When it was brought to the attention of the SB admin and Matt Tomlin, nothing was initially done. It wasn't until Sirrine's husband threatened to go to the EPD because the kid was dragged out of the shower and videotaped being dragged down the hallway with no clothes on. I'm not a legal expert but not only is this bullying, but the video was distributed to many students in the Humboldt community and could be considered child pornorgrapy because of underage nudity.
When the parents threatened to do this, that's why players were only suspended from playing in the next football game. No kid was suspended from school, expelled or kicked off the team. Why? Because they're good football players and it would impact the season.
Tomlin, SB, and Shanahan are all part of the Humboldt Illuminati. Nothing will happen. Who has power to prosecute this? DA Eads who is on the School Board and is an alumn. Rex Bohn who is close to the SB One Family, Humboldt Sheriff Honsal and his connection to Tomlin, and finally multiple people on EPD who are related to the Shanahan's/Omey families.
As you can imagine, I'm sending this anonymous because I don't want it to get back to me. "
Now that he is in custody, his mental health diversion needs to be terminated. He can agree to be committed to the State Hospital or trial dates should be set. Taxpayer dollars have been wasted on Leach for years, he has been given multiple chances. Just because it is cinvenient for the Humboldt Public Defender's Office to have mental health diversion does not mean public safety should be jeopardized and taxpayers continue to pay for someone who refuses to comply.
The Humboldt kumbayas can take him home and be responsible for him daily or they need to zip it because their PC enabling and lives are not affected yet they lecture those at risk and think money grows on trees.
Thank you to the reader who I saw at the end of the day and who thanked me for my work, especially the Jorden Sterling/Place coverage. Thank you to the employee at 825 5th street who asked me how I was doing when he deals with a very stressful work environment as does HCSO Sgt. Josh Comer.
Sgt. Comer does not get credit for all he does to make sure the second floor is secure and running smoothly as well as supervising Courthouse security. There is nothing that goes on that he does not know and he supports the deputies who are courtroom bailiffs.
When you have been going non stop for months and very few know what you are dealing with additionally; an act of kindness and professionalism makes the difference.
Thank you to all the strangers and some familiar faces I see who reiterate that my reporting is appreciated.
Rex, is your favorite blog Lost Coast Outpost or Redheaded Blackbelt or was that diss directed at me? If it was, I have more than the blog but those I expose in Humboldt like you use it as if it is an insult. People outside Humboldt value me. They aren't immature, petty and they are not threatened by valid news or criticism.
Brains and maturity aren't your strong suit. I was busy reporting on other news people will read instead of your playing victim and whining.
If you were directing that to me Rex, finally your mask is off and it comes across as you an elected official attempting to intimidate people from contacting me. Thanks for the documentation directly from you.
You leaked this for sympathy knowing the County of Humboldt is going to wait for the investigation. You knew your minions would be all over social media defending you trying to challenge anyone who dares speak against you. That way your hands stay clean Rex. Doesn't seemed to have worked Rex. Some people still have the cajones and those calling you out care about this community.
When are you going to run to Brian Papstein at KINS, the biggest bootlicker of the Ingomar Club crowd and have him stroke your ego while you grumble and play the poor me card?
That you are being investigated again is not a shocker. Will you be held accountable this time and face any consequences?
As usual, Rex, you think you haven't done anything wrong. You and your Humboldt ilk are afflicted with the unrepentant denial syndrome.
Did the usual sycophants and family members posting on your Facebook page soothe your hurt fees fees?
I have seen the way you talk to certain people at the Courthouse including a specific incident with a former Courthouse security employee.
Many people do a lot for Humboldt County on their own time and dime and they do not brag about it constantly. Your trying to use that to justify your typical, arrogant behavior is a joke like you.
Both times you were the one who blabbed you were being investigated. Last time at the Board of Supervisors meeting; now on Facebook.
This part of CAO Elishia Hayes email is important."Please understand that, should further concerns arise, the next step to ensure staff are afforded a safe and comfortable work environment may include restricting your access to non-public office spaces while the investigation remains pending."
Humboldt Superior Court Judge Lawrence Killoran signed the Ramey warrant authored by Eureka Police Department Jayme Clark. Bail was set at $60,000. I have a copy. While her dob is public record, other identifying information on certain pages is not something I will post online. EPD dispatch got a call from St. Bernard's Academy co principal, Catherine Scott who I have contacted earlier today after Coach Matt Tomlin told her, "Get the police it is out of hand." Scott told dispatch a football game had just ended.
Officer Clark did an excellent job with the Ramey warrant.
The Ramey warrant states "Sirrine intentionally struck Cornely in the head with a metal cup, who sustained a brain injury..." This is the PC 245 (a) (1).
**Before you read further details, this disclaimer is for the news challenged, clueless drama trolls and Humboldt attention seeking keyboard warriors. The Ramey warrant is a court document available to media. Unlike the parties involved and the social media anon and non commenters spouting off, this is a law enforcement document. The identies of the boys is known. They are almost adults who chose to go on social media about a fellow team member. So did Stella Cornely, the alleged victim, in this incident who is an adult disparaging the Cirrine children and speaking about an active case.
The Ramey warrant corroborates my earlier post this morning. You don't hold media which informs to a different standard while most of you go blabbing unsubstantiated gossip and make claims with no evidence on Facebook and online. I am only sharing two more pages from the Ramey warrant which includes the racial slurs used and injuries to Cornely. If you read beyond this disclaimer; that is your choice.
Stella Cornely who shared my earlier post and is dissing me because she thinks her narrative and biased, unsubstantiated rant is what is "reporting" and the St. Bernard incident is all I am working on can go to other local media who like to write one sided narratives from biased parties instead of putting in the work to report on official sources and verified information. Copying me and getting Ramey warrants which they never did before. While Stella was badmouthing me, I am the reporter who after being up all night working to catch up on the time consuming daily content I post everyday, went and paid for the Ramey warrant which has information including the racial slurs and assault. This is my third post in less than 24 hours on this incident vs what other local media has done.
I am being overwhelmed by people beyond the original tipster with emails. If you dont provide evidence and just need to vent; call a friend or someone else. I am busy enough and Humboldt cray cray keeps piling on creating more work. I have other news to report. People need to start opening their wallets and be just as generous as they they are and entitled to my time and email. What I report which isn't emails to the DA or PIOs and cut and paste cookie cutter content and columns when other media have multiple staff and are funded well by the Humboldt good ole boys and gals**
If you are a subscriber, contributor or advertiser, I will not send you the Ramey warrant but you can contact me for a one on one customized update, in person or the phone, as any other case or post.
Another Humboldt court case where adults and parents do not know how to behave, drinking involved and Humboldt drama. Look at the adults in this incident; no wonder the youth acted the way did.
More waste of law enforcement, DA and court resources time because of the Humboldt teme reality show behavior. I wanted to use another word but PC Google AI and the Humboldt PC police would throw a fit.
Unlike Sirrine, Stella Mary Cornely has a name change request to Stella Mary Fontenot which is scheduled for a hearing tomorrow; and two convictions in two 2025 traffic cases.
I have the Ramey warrant so I no longer need St. Bernard's to answer the first question I asked; the second they should but apparently their PR strategy is to stay quiet when they should have issued a basic statement yesterday after the EPD arrest even if it said, "no comment at this time" or "we will be issuing a statement." St. Bernard and Shannon Miranda are in competition for who is worse at PR and damage control.
This is a post yesterday on the arrest of Charane Sirrine by EPD which was a result of an incident at a St. Bernard's Academy football game.
I exchanged a series of emails last night with the person who provided me this tip including questions why, if there was any connection to the Sirrines and the identity of this person will remain confidential as requested.
I have a series of emails saved from St. Bernard's Academy about previous media inquiries about being told what to report or not report including me contacting them about Matt Tomlin and a lot of attitude. I went back and forth because I take the risk to report what others do not and I don't need to go over all of that for the nth time.
I am including parts of my email exchange. This is not a defense of Charane Sirrine's behavior. Regardless of whether the DA files charges or not; Sirrine posted bond so it could be months. The report can also be rejected.
I initially passed on this tip. The person respected my decision. Then the person chose to trust me and took a leap of faith.
Original tip: "This is in regards to Charane Sirrine. There’s a lot more to the story. Her older son, a senior at St B, was the victim of a hazing in Michigan during their travel football game, where he was dragged from the shower, thrown out on the balcony, photographed and distributed. Hence all the recent St Bernard’s football suspensions.
The kid is a great kid, all the kids get along, and just want this to go away. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem possible now.
Due to the culture at St Bernard’s, cracking someone may be hard… "
Ultimately after a series of questions, I decided to do the post. I cannot share what the person told me because the person requested anonymity but answered my questions honestly about why this person contacted me and why they know this information. What I have shared in this post are snippets from our exchanges. I asked for some independent verification and evidence. The person shared what they could and that is confidential to protect my source.
More from email exchange:
Me: " What happened today was enough for EPD to arrest her. I am not her advocate or her lawyer. You are making these claims and giving me no independent evidence to verify these."
Person: I am not defending her racism. I do know for fact. I don’t know if it will come out. And I respect you for not jumping on every unverified tip. If it does come out, and you’re not the first to report, I understand you stand on business and a process of verification, rather than a need to be the first every time.
I appreciate you and continue to follow your page. "Based on many of the faculty and staff at St. Bernard's who also attend St. Bernard's Academy and the good ole Humboldt boys and gals not responding to me because they think they can get away with it; I am not expecting any response and if I get one; I will be surprised if it is substantive.
I did this post before misinformation or anons start spreading any information online or through other sites. There have already been some hints. I have seen some people's comments online, including one from a good ole boy sycophant and a gossip who likes to smear others and who gave me incorrect information in the past which I did not post. I was surprised this person commented commented despite being a local business owner who rides on the coattails of other good ole Humboldt boys. I smell Humboldt drama miles away about this incident among all parties involved.
If St. Bernard's responds; it will be added to this post. St. Bernard's should have released a statement after the EPD press release.

EPD arrested 46 year old Charane Sirrine at St. Bernard's Academy for causing injury to an elder, assault with a deadly weapon, battery causing serious bodily injury, and violation of civil rights by force, hate crime. She posted bond. EPD did not mention to school in the press release.
