This whole Shannon Miranda vs Jennifer Raymond and Jenna Moore has wasted enough time for over a month

 

Humboldt County Building and Planning Director John Ford responded to my inquiry this morning.

"Hi Mr. Chiv:

I see there is a property at 2180 Drake Hill Road.  The owner is shown at Humboldt Humane.  That property is in the City of Fortuna.  We have no records on that."

John"

If you did not read the previous post, then you can do so for background. 

The address provided by Mr. Ford has a vet clinic and a google search for Humboldt Humane comes up with Critters for Litters. That matches the information given to me about part of the tip.

I have made initial contact with the City of Fortuna to follow up.

This whole Shannon Miranda vs Jennifer Raymond and Jenna Moore nonsense is taking up too much time. To people on both sides;  including Shannon Miranda and some of his supporters; either file something in court with your claims and evidence that meets legal standards or stop accusing each other every other day and wasting everyone's time. I have said this repeatedly and some people listened; others did not so now you get called out in public. This weekend, only certain people contacted me. Everyone else respected my time and boundaries.

Evidence is not what you think proves anything. The lawyers, the County, law enforcement get paid. The other media has sales reps and funds to waste. I don't. 

No ruling yet on demurrer in wrongful death lawsuit filed against Redwood Teen Challenge

 

In January, I did this post on a wrongful death lawsuit filed against Redwood Teen Challenge.

https://johnchiv.blogspot.com/2026/01/wrongful-death-lawsuit-filed-against.html?m=1#more

Redwood Teen Challenge filed a 170.6 against Humboldt Superior Court Judge Timothy Canning. The case was assigned to Humboldt Superior Court Judge April Van Dyke.

There are court documents, details and updates in the January 12 post. On 4/10/26, Judge Van Dyke heard arguments on a demurrer filed by Redwood Teen Challenge and took the matter under submission. I have been checking regularly and there is no ruling or entry if a ruling has been issued as of 6/5/26.

On 5/27, this motion was filed by Redwood Teen Challenge on 5/27. It was not entered in e court until 6/5. No date has been set for the motion to compel.

I have not been to Target in Eureka for a month. Took the photo today. 

California voters to CA Democrats: Can you hear me now?

 

             California voters to CA Democrats 

Republicans Chuong Vo and Ritesh Tandon secured spots on the November ballot and will challenge incumbent Democrats in California’s respective 45th and 17th Congressional Districts.

In the 17th District, Tandon will face  Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna who had an overwheming lead in a Democrat majority district. 

Regardless of what happens in the California Governor, LA Mayor and these two districts, Democrats can continue to ignore the obvious.

"A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."

 

"When you play right into their hands, then you are either crooked or stupid."

"A country can never be great with a dishonest press."

These two quotes are by President Donald Trump

The others by Thomas Jefferson and John F. Kennedy and others I have shared in this post and before are not just words. Liberty and justice for all are core American ideals.

A key purpose of journalism is to provide an adversarial check on those who wield the greatest power... and informing the public about those acts." — Glenn Greenwald

"Journalism has been referred to as the fourth estate; our democracy depends on an independent press to hold officials accountable." — Oscar Wilde

"There can be no higher law in journalism than to tell the truth and to shame the devil." Walter Lippmann

I have been a journalist in Philadelphia, Atlanta, published nationally and I did "traditional" journalism. Decades later, today what is considered media has changed. New media platforms are valid. Just because some in Humboldt are decades behind,  clueless, cannot counter with facts and feel the constant need to lash out is not my problem. 

Humboldt is decades behind what the 21st century considers media, Humboldt refuses to fund independent reporting and Humboldt expects others to risk and fight for them while they silent. Humboldt has made choices. Don't expect someone else to save you when you stay silent and are ungrateful for their risk and expense.

The last paragraph is not directed at everyone in Humboldt. Those who get upset; look in the mirror.

I could report for another 20 years, provide court records and expose evil in Humboldt County. While it is effective, it is a waste of my time because the career local "media"  who have been here for decades and they have been here longer than me do nothing to challenge those in power or bring about change.  The public sits back and allows a minority to take over government meetings, dictate online discourse and shut down anyone standing up for the people. And expect this to be done for free and at a cost to those who have courage.

Step up Humboldt or you deserve the wasteland and abuse of power. There are other places that appreciate independent reporting. Other places where traditional media does their job and scrutiny is not required. Other media who are not afraid of competition.

Richard Wasburn arrested for kidnapping, false imprisonment and domestic battery

 

Richard Charles Washburn was arrested yesterday by Fortuna Police Department on a Ramey warrant for PC 207(a) kidnapping, PC 236 false imprisonment and  PC 243(e) (1) domestic battery.

6 years later, still reporting on another arrest for convicted sex offender Shawn Perrot

 

Convicted sex offender Shawn Lee Perrot isn't the only repeat offender arrested yesterday and whose name appears on today's booking log. He is the only one arrested yesterday by HCSO for PC 290.018(b) failure to register as a sex offender.

Perrot posted bond. In Humboldt Superior Court, there are no consequences for this charge. 

Grand opening of Speed Suds, go to meet Augie and if you want do your laundry for free today and grab a snack

 

I did a post on May 4 about Agustin "Augie" Valdez,  the new owner of Best Dry Cleaners and Speeds Suds in Eureka. Today is the grand opening. Free laundry all day but if you want to meet Augie, grab a hot dog cooked on the grill, chips, soda and Starbucks coffee while supplies last, better head to 4th and N now. The laundromat shares a parking lot with Dutch Bros coffee on 5th Street.

Two county resignations, one we learn about a month later on the agenda; another lawsuit against the County of Humboldt only I covered

 

Another lawsuit only I reported on and is on the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors Agenda. Delman Smith is a local family law attorney. Last, I heard he was retiring. 

If we had media in Humboldt who instead of summaring an agenda by a bot, actually worked and reported news, they would have asked why Humboldt County Child Support Director Bennett Hoffman resigned on May 8 and we find out a month later via another agenda. On the same agenda is a second resignation of the Director of Library Services.

Covering and holding government accountable and asking why we learn about uncounted votes six months later, County resignations a month later and asking the local Sheriff tough questions is just not "important" to Lost Coast Outpost et al who "report" based on the Cal Poly Humboldt school of "journalism" and are activist "media" who get funded by Humboldt insiders and good ole boys to cover the tie dye, patchouli protesters du jour and do PR fluff pieces for government and good ole boys and gals. The owners and publishers of some of the local media are good ole boys and gals. Just look at what they ignore and don't cover.

These protestors, like most other Humboldt "media", seem to have money to throw away screaming about anything than actual news that affects the daily lives and survival of taxpaying businesses and residents of Humboldt County.

Some of the so called Humboldt "media" went after me years ago. They did this before I had my blog or Facebook page  because I volunteered and was politically active. Something I had a right to do like anyone else. I just didn't parrot the accepted narrative in Humboldt County. 

So there is history. Don't dish what you can't take. The haters, anon or anon, some of the local media have disparaged me for years because I spoke up for people; because of their bias and because no one controls me. They have gone after my livelihood. They have disrespected and been dismissive of my contributions to Humboldt and they do not extend professional courtesies. 

When the other media stay silent and refuse to call out those in Humboldt who have power and authority and should be transparent; I pay the cost daily and it is more than financial. 

Are they getting threats where they have to waste time on the busiest of days documenting and filing reports with law enforcement and then spend days catching up on work and losing opportunities to earn money? Do the other media have to be constantly vigilant and become a hermit because of threats? They are not recognized; I am. I walk everywhere. I have had people come up to me at the Courthouse and harass and threaten me in middle of me working more than once. 

What most of this people have in common are their politics are left leaning and they are used to one narrative from the media and used to getting their way. After what happened to Charlie Kirk, the harassment of anyone who independently reports and is not in the progressive, woke bubble is well-documented.

I have a right to be concerned. One recent, violent threat was made specifically about my coverage about the Miranda's Rescue and due to the failure of other media to vet unsubstantiated claims. I have a police report. This person frequently comments on certain media outlets and with a real name. Typical Humboldt loser, anti law enforcement with a court case I looked up.

The chief law enforcement officer for Humboldt County is Sheriff William Honsal. He has been silent lately and out of sight. 

There are other threats made to two people  documented this week. I will not mention who ; yet; but they were targeted for the Miranda's Rescue investigation and being associated with Shannon Miranda.

Is this how Billy Honsal protects the citizens of Humboldt County? Is protection in HCSO selective? Do you have to be a friend of his wife's to get HCSO to do your bidding?

I won't expect Rex Bohn to speak up for me or those threatened because we are not his "buds." I don't expect any of the other useless Board of Supervisors to do anything. They won't even have a private meeting with Billy and question him about conflicts of interest in the Miranda Rescue investigation and his failure to control the clown show that is out of control led by Jenna Moore and Jennifer Raymond. I want to know any other example specifically involving HCSO as the law enforcement agency where a group of people are harassing, doxxing, threatening people in person and on social media and thinking they dictate what HCSO and the District Attorney does. 

People in Humboldt throw around freedom of speech and the First Amendment as an excuse to do and say whatever they want and are clueless on both, the law and journalism.

Arson and indecent exposure suspect couldn't even stay out of jail for a month

 

Steven Michael De La Hoz couldn't even stay out of jail for a month since his last arrest. The jail log includes charges from a previous 2026 case. Eureka Police Officer Sollom arrested him yesterday for PC 314 (1) indecent exposure, PC 451(c) arson, PC 148(a)(1) resisting arrest, PC 69 resisting an executive officer, PC 459.5 shoplifting, PC 602(m), and  HS11377 (a) possession of a controlled substance. 

Another repeat offender who thanks to California useless, soft on crime law will be released on the streets by a judge instead of facing consequences. 

Nicole Thorpe booked into Humboldt County jail yesterday on her arrest warrant for murder, child endangerment, great bodily injury and welfare fraud

 

Nicole Thorpe was booked into the Humboldt County jail yesterday on her arrest warrant for homicide, child endangerment, great bodily injury and welfare fraud. Thorpe was booked on no bail status. That could be changed at arraignment by a judge.

Since permits are such a concern to Jennifer Raymond and her ilk, did she have them for work done on her property? Is "Frankie" willing to swear under oath in court there was no paperwork for the dog she adopted?

 

Cati usually gets back to me very promptly within minutes. I could have waited until Monday to see if anyone from the County would respond but there is no guarantee they will and when. 

With the daily witchunt conducted by arrogant women who think they are above the law; the local Sheriff silent about any potential conflicts of interest and lack of transparency and response by Sheriff Honsal; every second matters.

Jennifer Raymond, Jenna Moore and the biased anti Shannon Miranda crowd are not waiting. They are out there making sure this stays in the news cycle daily and locally, the rest of the media is still not asking the questions they should of HCSO or vet claims by these zealots.

Lies and smears are being spread by despicable, hateful people and most in immoral, fearful Humboldt County stay silent.

Kym Kemp and Redheaded Blackbelt, the name is Hillori Graham not Hilary Graham as you posted today about the Tuesday Board of Supervisor's meeting. 

Permits and Shannon Miranda were brought up at the Humboldt County Planning Commission meeting yesterday. Jennifer Raymond is one of the speakers who spoke about Shannon's permit. 

I guess speaking at the Board of Supervisors meeting two days ago and the 15 seconds of fame they have received so far is not enough attention for the narcissists and the anti Shannon Miranda crowd.

This is Jennifer Raymond's Linkedin profile.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. 

I received a tip this afternoon. I tried to verify it and tried to reach a few different people earlier this afternoon. Finally, I sent this email to Humboldt Building Planning Director John Ford and Humboldt County Public Information Specialist Cati Gallardo.

Many people support Shannon but they are afraid to speak up. They see what the pitchfork Humboldt mob has done to Shannon, me and anyone who supports Shannon or tries to have a rational conversation about Miranda's Rescue.

Later this evening, someone with the same information but a few more specifics agreed to speak to me and use her name even though I offered anonymity. Debbie is credible. She is Miranda Rescue's ex board president.

Debbie raised the same question about Jennifer Raymond that others did earlier today. Did Jennifer Raymond have permits for work on her properties? All these people frequently travel the area where Miranda's Rescue is and Jennifer Raymond's properties are located. Debbie said Jennifer Raymond's property was "way overgrown" but starting recently, last winter, she and others noticed Jennifer Raymond "ripping windows out", "redoing the place" and doing construction on the property. There were no visible signs posted that anyone was working. Did Jennifer Raymond get the appropriate permits?

Jennifer Raymond owns another building on Drake Hill Road, not her house. It is near a vet clinic. And that building also had "work done." Debbie and others were told by a someone near that second property that Jennifer Raymond did not have permits. 

If Jennifer Raymond did have permits for either or both properties, then John Ford and the County of Humboldt should have no problem promptly providing me that evidence and when they were issued.

Debbie was at the Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday. She remembered a woman who claimed her name was Frankie who came to Miranda's Rescue the day before to adopt a dog. Debbie was there. She has a copy of the form filled out for the adoption. The next day, Debbie was shocked to see this woman at the BOS meeting, admit she gave a fake name and then lie about no paperwork.

Jennifer Raymond admits to trespassing. "Frankie" lies, admits deception, which should be on the video of the BOS meeting, there were people in attendance at the meeting and there is paperwork that refutes Frankie's so called claim.

If you think this is an isolated incident, I have a bridge to sell you? Even if Shannon and his supporters, those who worked with him provide you more evidence refuting claims; it is clear that some people are just interested in repeating speculation and being angry. 

What matters in court is evidence and credibility. Judges don't believe anons and keyboard warriors lame, unsubstantiated claims and opinions on Facebook. The Jenna Moore Jennifer Raymond reality show script is poorly executed and boring to anyone with a fulfilled life. 

I did a post earlier on 6/5/26. That post includes a letter sent to Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal. It is from a local lawyer.

https://johnchiv.blogspot.com/2026/06/animals-that-are-dependant-upon-care.html?m=1

When I first mentioned Jennifer Raymond in my first post on April 28, all I did done was mention her name. Raymond had the audacity to question if I identified where she lived in that post. I did not. She did not ask me but went behind my back.

Is she incapable of reading what was in that April 28 post? She is the one who has been giving interviews to any "media" who will listen and post her narrative, saying she is Shannon Miranda's neighbor and that she bought the property next to him. People know where Miranda's Rescue is, where Shannon lives so the road where Jennifer Raymond lives is not new information and it is relevant to my PRA. Jennifer does know how PRAs work. She has submitted enough to Humboldt County about Shannon Miranda. Very similar to one submitted by Lost Coast Outpost's Ryan Burns.

Jennifer, Jenna et al have no problem doxxing Shannon or me and others. Some have done it anonymously; some with their names. This rabid group has jeopardized my safety, my livelihood and I have documented what people posted using their names and kept a paper trail. 

What anons say, I don't give a damn or read and people telling me about anon, irrelevant online forums and the gossip is a waste of my time and a a distraction because cowards can say anything under anonymity. They have no facts; just ad hominem nonsense. They surfaced when I covered and exposed Gregory Kreis, they resurfaced with my Miranda Rescue coverage. You get the pattern. All of them are obvious. Irrelevant nobodies who have no facts to debate, achieved nothing but think their useless one cent opinion matters. Use your name and stand by your words if you are so confident and are speaking the truth and you should be fine if your words are tested in court by legal standards. Not willing to do that? But you are willing to smear, harass, dox me and others? Anons are always hateful, weak, miserable trolls who have issues, can't deal with the truth, are full on anger and wimps who hide behind a screen or lie behind your back. 

I was not going to include all my prior coverage on the Miranda's Rescue investigation but I have in this post as appreciation for the new readers. 

Maybe Legal Impact for Chickens lawyers should look up what confidentiality and protective order means so they don't look foolish in court?

 

I haven't covered this lawsuit for months. If you read the October 13, 2024 post, you should know why.

This morning, I was in Courtroom 4 covering several other cases. I also followed up on other cases scheduled in Courtroom 4 today.

I heard about a ruling Humboldt Superior Court Assistant Presiding Judge Timothy Canning made this morning in this case. 

There was a hearing on a motion today filed by Harland Law Firm partner, Mr. John Lopez, to uphold defendant's designation of auction yards records as "attorney eyes only" or confidential.

In Harland Law Firm's reply to the opposition filed by Legal Impact for Chickens lawyers, they cited case law, said LIC violated a stipulated protective order by including in public record more than 500 records produced by the Auction Yard in response to subpoenas.

Janssen Malloy's Ms. Meagan Yarnall substituted out on 9/30/24. Ms. Alene Anello is still representing LIC. I am sure if Ms. Yarnall was still on the case, she would know and follow a stipulation and court order.

I heard Judge Canning ruled in favor of Harland Law Firm and the Alexandres. Court minutes are not going to be available this early in the day.

"Animals that are dependant upon care and feeding have been thrown under the bus because this is not about them, its about Moore's and Raymond's egos."

 

After, these two posts I did yesterday, Shannon Miranda has been contacted for comment by other media, including NBC Bay Area. I hope moving forward there is more balanced coverage from other local and regional media but I won't hold my breath until I see information reported before I have to call people out.

What I am about to include in this post has not been reported by anyone else. One is a letter sent to Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal by Ms. Allison Jackson. 

I don't know who is spreading the rumor that Mr. Rick Richmond maybe representing Shannon Miranda. There is a lot of misinformation out there and it is impossible to keep correcting it because unlike the gossipmongers of Humboldt and the online anons; some of us work, have lives, use our name and provide evidence. No one that is serious pays attention to online, social media nonsense; especially from anons. 

All the material on my blog is copyrighted. It states that but especially in this post, the letter from Ms. Jackson and Ms. Holland is something I obtained. Do not use it without permission ,  credit and contacting me first.

I did not get this letter from Ms. Jackson and I did not get it from Shannon. I did call them and let them know I am doing this post. Sheriff Honsal has not responded to Ms. Jackson. That is the only comment I got for her.

Those of you who read all my prior coverage know that in real time, I reported and raised many of the same concerns Ms. Jackson did in her letter. 

She has provided more information. I reported other relevant information not in Ms. Jackson's letter.

I called out the other local media for their lack of investigation into Jenna Moore and Jennifer Raymond. I reported information about Jenna Moore's court case she lost against Shannon Miranda. When I said anything said online and what they say and post in public could be used against Jenna Moore and Jennifer Raymond, anon trolls took their usual passive aggressive digs.

These anons are obvious, clueless about journalism and the law and their full time job is snarking and trying to intimidate me into silence. No one influential, credible or in power listens to internet no name trolls. They are irrelevant in a court of law.

Allison Arkley Holland spoke and made a statement in support of Shannon Miranda earlier this week. I also informed Ms. Holland I was posting her statement. It is a matter of public record.

This is Ms. Holland's statement.

"I stand here today not just to speak for Shannon, but to speak for fairness, due process, and the danger of becoming judge, jury, and executioner in the court of public opinion.

What concerns me most is that this situation has become less about dogs and more about personal vendettas. When people are selling merchandise to capitalize on a crisis, and influential members of our community, like the wife of the sheriff, are publicly weighing in the situation, we have to ask whether the focus is justice or spectacle and campaign. 

If that is not an anvil on the scales of justice, I don’t know what is.

This has become a public embarrassment not because questions were asked, but because conclusions were reached before due process had a chance to do its work.

And while many people have strong opinions about rescue, few understand what it actually requires.

Rescue is not all rainbows, butterflies, and happy endings. The reality is that not every animal can be rehabilitated. That is painful, difficult, and unfair—but it is the truth. And that is why rescue work is so hard.

It requires people willing to step into situations others walk away from. People willing to take responsibility for animals no one else will. People willing to make difficult decisions while carrying enormous emotional, financial, and personal burdens.

For years, Shannon has been one of those people.

I have watched him drop everything to help animals, often at great personal cost. He has given countless animals what was often their best—and sometimes their only—chance.

One of those animals changed my life. Shannon made that possible. Through his work, he gave me my best friend of 17.5 years. I’m forever indebted to him. 

So ask hard questions. Demand facts. However do not confuse accusation with guilt, and do not destroy a lifetime of work before the truth is known.

Thank you."

The reason I called Ms. Jackson and Ms. Arkley Holland is because being in the public eye, they have been the target of lies and smears just as I have. As I have stated before, anyone speaking up for Shannon and anyone like me trying to get balanced, correct coverage and  information out there which is not being reported, are also being harassed. Those doing this witchunt think they are above the law. Freedom of speech is not absolute. I cannot speak for Shannon, Ms. Jackson or Ms. Arkley Holland but I don't like bullies. After 22 years of being harassed, threatened and lied about in Humboldt and it affecting my livelihood, my health and safety; I know that closed minds do not care about facts. If there are any decent people left in Humboldt and who say they appreciate my reporting; then your silence does nothing. This is your community. If you cannot speak up and hold your Sheriff accountable; then don't ever contact me for anything or ask for my help.  

I get contacted by out of county and out of state media and lawyers often about my coverage. I just don't always write about it because it is no one's business except those who advertise or support my work financially. I am fortunate that my advertisers give me editorial independence.

This post I did yesterday has links to all my coverage on Shannon Miranda and the Miranda's Rescue Investigation.

https://johnchiv.blogspot.com/2026/06/maybe-california-attorney-general.html?m=1

Ferndale drama between two men, of course involving a woman resulted in Vincent Nelson being arrested; then Nelson made it worse by lying on the stand and being impeached by his own words by "hotshot" Deputy DA Trent Timm

Attempted murder and assault suspect Vincent Nelson had his preliminary hearing on 6/2 in that 2026. Alleged victim in attempted murder case is Christopher Scott Thomson II.

When I showed up for his preliminary hearing, I recognized his mother who is a former Humboldt Superior Court Clerk. His aunt was also there for the preliminary hearing. Nelson has a 2026 DUI case trailing.

My knowing who his mother is will not change how I cover his court cases. I have reported on other Humboldt cases involving court staff. 

Nelson has 25 search results in Humboldt Superior Court. Humboldt Superior Court Judge Lawrence Killoran was correct in remanding Nelson. Humboldt Superior Court Judge Kelly Neel granted him supervised release two days later.

The preliminary hearing in the attempted murder case started on 6/2 and continued on 6/3. I have included court minutes for both days. It looked like almost all of Ferndale Police Department was in court on 6/2.

The preliminary hearing was before Humboldt Superior Court Judge Kaleb Cockrum. Senior Deputy District Attorney Roger Rees is in trial so Deputy DA Trent Timm stepped in to handle the preliminary hearing. Mr. Ken Bareilles is Nelson's attorney.

Nelson met a woman on Facebook. He had never met her in person. She came over to his house in Ferndale and brought other people including alleged victim Thomson . People got drunk. Words were exchanged about women. Drama. Misunderstanding. Who threw the first punch? Where did the alleged incident take place? Most witnesses said Thomson initiated the incident. Thomson is a big guy. Nelson is lanky.

This is just a small portion of Mr. Bareilles' cross examination and Mr. Timm's re-direct of Ferndale Officer Cesar Cervantes.

"You saw the fight between Chris and Vincent,' Mr. Bareilles asked Officer Cervantes.

Officer Cervantes responded that he witnessed the incident but not the assault.

Mr. Bareilles said that Vincent told you, "I was getting beat up in my living room."

Officer Cervantes said, "Yes. Nelson said that to another officer."

Mr. Bareilles then stated a series of statements , barely giving Officer Cervantes a chance to respond.

"Vincent said, Chris is a big dude. He is hitting me in the head," Mr. Bareilles asked Officer Cervantes.

"Chris said, I love you dawg."

"Vincent said, 'I thought I was going to die.", Mr. Bareilles asked Officer Cervantes.

He responded, "yes."

Mr. Timm, on redirect, asked Officer Cervantes, "Mr. Nelson initially denied being involved in the article."

Officer Cervantes said, "Yes."

"The victim was stabbed, Mr. Nelson said he was asleep," said Mr. Timm.

Officer Cervantes, again confirmed that statement.

Mr. Timm referred to a statement by Tristan Thornton that Nelson got a knife and even after Thomson left; he followed him and "stabbed him in the head."

Officer Cervantes said, "I don't recall."

Most said Thomson started it but Nelson chose to take it to another level and outside. After Mr. Timm confronted Nelson with forensic evidence and testimony of other witnesses including his mom taking photos and that there was no blood in the house; only outside, Nelson's credibility was on line. When Mr. Timm asked him, where did the incident happen? Inside or outside? Nelson was flippant and said, "50/50."

Judge Cockrum held Nelson to answer but on a reduced charge for Count 1 attempted voluntary manslaughter. Nelson was held to answer to Count 2 and special allegations as charged. Nelson remains out of custody. He walked out of court with his mother and aunt.

"Hotshot" is a nickname Ryan Hurley gave Trent Timm based on my coverage when he first started and several successful wins fot the Humboldt County DA right after we started. I have covered many preliminary hearings and trials Mr. Timm has prosecuted and it was nice to get a chance to see him in action.

Delin Liu arrested by CHP and booked on three charges involving prostitution

 

53 year old Delin Liu was arrested by CHP yesterday and booked into the Humboldt County jail for PC 315 maintaining a brothel for prostitution, PC 316 keeping a disorderly house for prostitution. and PC 647 (b) prostitution. She was released on O.R. These are all misdemeanor charges in California.

I have reached out to the CHP media office. CHP Officer Jason Esselman, Public Information & Recruitment Officer and Court Liaison Officer for the Humboldt area sent me this response.

"Our Office assisted the Northern Division ISU in an investigation in Fortuna yesterday. It does appear the arrest you listed is correct. Our Officer (H. Stilwell) simply transported the subject to the jail for booking. I have no further information on the investigation that led to the arrest as this investigation stemmed from our Northern Division ISU (Investigative Services Unit). The Northern Division ISU unit is based in Redding at the Northern Division Office. All inquiries regarding this investigation should be forwarded to our Northern Division Office in Redding."

Rusty's 2019 comment still applicable today

 

1800s, 2018, 2019, 2026. Humboldt has not changed. Still trying to silence the truth.

Maybe the California Attorney General should investigate HCSO and any potential conflicts of interest and whether there is inteference by biased parties in the Miranda's Rescue investigation?

 

If you read my prior coverage on the Miranda Rescue coverage, you know who Jennifer Raymond is, who Jenna aka Chrisjenna Moore is and you know that Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal's wife commented twice on Jenna Moore's Facebook account. Other media never mentioned this but who's surprised?

I blocked Jenna Moore and others due to reasons anyone following this Fortuna reality show knows and anyone who has witnessed, seen and read how Humboldt deals with independent reporting and the way I have been treated.  I do not know if there have been more instances and I do not post hearsay or claims without evidence.

There is another alleged potential conflict of interest between Jenna Moore and HCSO I am trying to verify. I learned about this after one of my earlier posts and it will not be easy to confirm for obvious reasons. It isn't something I can submit a PRA and get a response. Even if I could, the PRA can be ignored.

Just yesterday, I also learned that Jenna Moore and Jody Honsal are friends. This tip did not come from Shannon and it did not come from law enforcement. I cannot tell you who my source is but if Jody Honsal is pissed, 1. she should realize in a small county where she is the spouse of the Sheriff; she needs to have better discretion and judgement 2. How confident is she about who she can trust in her inner circle? 3. She needs to direct her ire at herself and chose better "friends" and 4. her homegirl Jenna Moore's need to be the "star" of the Humboldt Facebook reality show has put Jody under scrutiny. 

Remember Jody when you thanked me for being so good to your husband. That was positive coverage but also fact. I just do my job. How Humboldt feels about me when they don't like facts or the truth changes daily and faster than the fog and sun on any given day in Humboldt.

Besides glaring at me and ignoring me, Billy aka Sheriff Honsal, has not addressed the inappropriateness of his wife commenting on an ongoing investigation in which Jenna Moore is a key player. Jenna Moore put herself out there front and center on Facebook, organizing protests and talking with media. 

For days now, the anti Shannon Miranda zealots have been leaking out information HCSO has not released. The HCSO investigation is not complete and until there is a report, the DA cannot make a determination whether charges will be filed.

So why is it that the anti Shannon Miranda group is claiming that HCSO has decided there is not enough evidence and Shannon will not be charged? I have read about this in other media coverage; I have heard about it from at least five different, unrelated people. There are people I have had discussions with who are more informed about the law and the criminal justice system and with the limited official information released, their opinion is that criminal or serious charges are unlikely. Whether civil or environmental violations exist; there is no official information released to make that determination.

Why do the anti Shannon Miranda contingent have information that even the media does not have access to about a public interest investigation? Maybe the California Attorney General should investigate HCSO and any potential conflicts of interest starting with the Sheriff's wife and whether there is interference by biased parties in the Miranda's Rescue investigation?

All these people spouting off on Facebook and speaking to media stand by their words so they should welcome the CA Attorney General's involvement into this investigation they have kept in the news cycle for weeks. 

Before the other media, especially the local media, demand an interview with Shannon Miranda; they need to stop the selective coverage, ask the questions I have about HCSO and by doing that I am risking further wrath. Journalism should hold those in power accountable. The rest of Humboldt "media" owned by the good ole boys and gals does selective coverage and this is just one example. The other local media follow up on what I write but not when Jody Honsal is involved?
