Will Jack Nye improve his life given that chance and diversion?

 

I have been adding updates to my August 30, 2026 post on Jack Nye. The last one was on 9/30 and it mentions the next court date which was 10/13/26.

He has two cases. In one of those cases, he was granted mental health diversion by Humboldt Superior CourtJudge Lawrence Killoran.

This is from my August 30 post.

The defendant now has that chance. He is now provided with a choice to improve his life." These words are on page 3 of Humboldt Superior Court Judge Lawrence Killoran's four page ruling on August 26. Nye was granted mental health diversion.

Nye has been through three attorneys; all paid for by taxpayers. Currently, he is represented by Ken Bareilles.

On 10/13,  Nye had a preliminary hearing in CR2603246; instead he entered a plea. Deputy DA Brandon Boozari is the prosecutor for both of Nye's cases. Humboldt Superior Court Presiding Judge Kelly Neel took Nye's guilty to Count 1 possession of meth in jail on 10/13. As of that day, Nye has 212 days in the Humboldt County jail. Sentencing is on 11/6/26.  

In CR2600171, confirmation of order is scheduled for 10/20. I am not covering that case anymore or diversion review hearings.

Update from sentencing will be added to this post.

AE Systems IT and websites that support the operations of the Bankruptcy Noticing Center have been impacted by a cybersecurity incident

 

BAE Systems IT and websites that support the operations of the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) have been impacted by a cybersecurity incident. The BNC produces and transmits bankruptcy notices for all federal bankruptcy courts around the country, and BAE Systems operates BNC systems and websites on behalf of the Federal Judiciary.

The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts has been in communication with the impacted courts and is also coordinating with BAE Systems. BAE is actively investigating this incident and working to restore operations.

As a result of the incident, all access to the BNC systems and websites that BAE operates on behalf of the judiciary and the related bankruptcy noticing process are unavailable at this time, including bnc.uscourts.gov, bankruptcynotices.uscourts.gov, notices.uscourts.gov, and the National Creditor Registration Service.  The incident has also halted the BNC’s production and distribution of bankruptcy notices for bankruptcy courts.

Another massage parlor Humboldt DA investigates owned by people with last name Wang

 

The owners of Angel Hands Massage, located at 131 South Fortuna Blvd, Fortuna, are Lin Wang age 46 and Xian Wang age 48, both of San Jose, California. The manager is Rui Wang 42 of Sunnyvale, CA. 

The Humboldt County District Attorney served search warrants today assisted by the Fortuna Police Department.

Even if arrests are made like the Sunshine Massage owners, it will drag on for months they can just disappear when they are meant to be sentenced. I followed the Sunshine Massage case regularly and not just the initial arrest and headlines typical of other local media.

LA just provided the Trump administration with the most obvious example of fake news

 

DOJ asked Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk  to review list of names which the federal government believes are likely noncitizens and determine if any citizens are listed. At least one media outlet claimed this letter was leaked to them by the LA Recorder/Clerk. The headlines on this letter and the 48 hours are so misleading. This is why fake news resonates with people who see it happen too often.

The Humboldt visitors package to tourists if accuracy was the goal

 

Tourists! This visitors package to Humboldt is yours at no extra cost.

Abandoned storefronts and trash all over Eureka bought to you courtesy of 12% TOT increase and the incompetence of the City of Eureka and County of Humboldt electeds. No charge for these free views, weed, smoke, piss and other odors included at no extra cost when you visit Humboldt. 

Homeless and mentally ill at every coffee shop, restaurant and near your Old Town and downtown hotels and motels. Public space is for them and don't you dare complain that you have a right to a peaceful meal, quiet cup of coffee or need to send a work email. Outlets and seating is reserved for those with no jobs, free government phones to play loud video clips all day.

In Eureka, Humboldt and California, these rights belong only to the above. Law abiding and polite people who want to spend money can go elsewhere. You are MAGA, racist, "criminalizing the homeless!" Thank you for your attention to this matter! This message courtesy of the local Democrat enablers.

6th and West two encampments after EPD cleaned this out and all media showed up. This is the enablers who believe in compassion without accountability.

Thank you Jera Best for the best comment of the day and much needed laughter

 

Thank you Jera Best for the best comment of the day and much needed laughter. The typo of how you spelled kumbaya made it funnier. I am familiar with the typing too fast typo syndrome. Even "mainstream media" is afflicted!

LOCO should hire Jera Best for headlines. This comment on LOCO's FB page on the Kim Bergel Anil Dwivedi mayor forum was the only content worth reading.

You can get all exclusives and updates live or you can wait; your choice

Attempted murder suspect Dameon Bradfield has picked up a second case, Aaron Pole is being arraigned on warrants in two previous cases this afternoon. There are several cases on today and every day, additional cases are on calendar added last minute. Most are minor updates. By now, all readers should know and check previous cases if they don't see a new post. With the amount of cases increasing daily and all the challenges of Humboldt courts, I am no longer rushing daily to update every Humboldt case that day for useless and endless continuances and rescheduling done only in Humboldt courts. Even arraignments and certain updates can wait; if necessary.

All these continuances, cases dragging on for years, no consequences for criminals has resulted in people including me, losing interest. For free, of course people don't mind me doing updates for every hearing.

Those who do support me do it without conditions. That is unheard of in journalism. I survive by sacrificing and going without the basics. Shameless Humboldt has taken advantage of my advertisers, supporters and me and that is not going to continue.

At 825 Fifth street, the haters threatened by reporting and other miserable, abusive people lash out daily instead of looking in the mirror. Lazy, incompetent, unprofessional tyrants who are used to getting away with injustice, bullying and ruining lives. Instead of focusing on me and gossiping about me, especially on union mandated breaks or your client's time, do the job for which you are being paid.

Humboldt will never change. That is not my problem. It has never been my problem. Only those who have something to hide and don't do their job question me and make it uncomfortable for me at 825 Fifth street. Certain people who file lawsuits and are attempting to stand up for themselves are at least trying to do something. Success depends on others supporting those who take risks. Humboldt is full of fear which is not my problem nor my issue to fix. 

I prioritize new posts. I may get all updates done the same day but starting today, Humboldt court coverage is seeing more changes. Free options have been explained numerous times over the years. Most in Humboldt refuse to pay for the service and content I provide and I am no longer providing these explainations, notifications or reminders via unsolicited emails or to people who do not read. Those who pay get certain benefits. That is how life works. Those who don't can take the chance daily to wait for information on all content I provide live to those who pay for my time. All media has exclusive paid content. I keep access free but I am not going to rush for those who cannot bother to even make a one time or occasional contribution. I am already trying different options for all the exclusives I provide daily and those who have never supported me for the past 12 years won't know what is or not included.

Alleged molestor Briyan Marquardt's preliminary delayed due to possible jurisdictional issues; criminal proceedings suspended for two counts

 

I have been covering 37 year old alleged molestor Briyan Lee Marquardt's case since his arrest in March 2026. 

Yesterday, his preliminary hearing was continued by the District Attorney due to procedural and possible jurisdictional issues. Criminal proceedings are suspended for Count 8 & 9. There is a hearing on 10/20 regarding Rule 4.116 as it pertains to Count 8 & 9.

"Popa Rex" changing his parking spot or did someone claim it first?

 

Photo I took on September 26. People, including me, have called out Rex Bohn aka "PopaRex" about the same parking spot on 5th street in front of the Humboldt County Courthouse.

The Rex free day at the Courthouse was short lived. Shortly after 9 a.m. saw Rex's truck parked on the corner of 5th and I.

Will know by tomorrow if this is his new spot. Parking is tough Rex with all the construction and housing in downtown Eureka. Employees who work at the Courthouse don't have access to the prime basement parking. At least, you will be closer to the protest du jour.

The Make Parking Lots Great Again could make this their new ad campaign. Rex will now have to walk a couple extra steps to the 5th street entrance! 

Of course after I call this out, on Thursday 10/15, the HCSO patrol vehicle is gone.

Gregory Kreis out; Ken Bareilles attorney for Aunna Bollman

 

Today, 13 cases were on calendar for Aunna Bolmann. There was a Marsden motion in her 2026 case. Gregory Kreis relieved, Ken Bareilles appointed. Defense continuance for preliminary hearing scheduled tomorrow granted; rescheduled to 12/17. Deputy DA Trent Timm appeared on the cases today DA motion to terminate mental health diversion and reinstate criminal proceedings in other 12 cases continued to 12/17.

I have covered Bollman extensively. I am not linking all those posts. They can be accessed for free via the search feature on the blog or for convenience; there are paid options.

Three cases, repeat offender who should not have been released, fails to appear because he is in custody in Trinity County

 

Robert Slavens had three cases on calendar today.

CR2603207:

Charged with PC 29800 (a) (1) felon in possession of a firearm and PC 30305 (a) (1) prohibited person in posession of ammunition. Arraigned on 8/18; Public Defender appointed. OR bail continued from 8/20 to 8/25 by defense because Slavens has possible parole hold. On 8/25, no information on parope hold. Preliminary examination continued by defense and Slavens placed on supervised release by Humboldt Superior Court Judge Kaleb Cockrum  despite DA's objection. Today he failed to appear in court. His wife, Jessica Slavens appeared via Zoom and told Humboldt Superior Court Judge Kelly Neel he is in custody in Trinity County.

CR2602272:

Same charges as CR2603207.

CR2600858:

Driving under influence of drug.

I am not going into details of the other two cases nor is there a reason to follow up on yet another repeat offender who should not have been granted supervised release and now is Trinity County's problem.

Another Humboldt repeat offender and failed mental health diversion

 

Another Humboldt repeat offender and failed mental health diversion. In my May 20 post, I added an update about the bench warrant issued for Dylan Olivas.

Yesterday,  he was arrested by Eureka Police Department on the bench warrant. Nothing will happen, he will be placed back on mental health diversion. Like the rest of the repeat offenders and mental health diversion failures; waste law enforcement time and resources again.

For those interested in Tyus Francis, Rashad Carter and Paul Clements, this is the update regarding all three arrests this year

For those interested in Tyus Francis, Rashad Carter and Paul Clements, I follow cases from arrest to conclusion. Several defendants since January 2026 posted bond or were released from custody. The DA then has time to review charges. I check these cases every day, in addition to the 40, 50, 60 court cases I follow and update. After several months, I checked with the DA's office.

I would usually add these updates to the previous post but I know several of you simply refuse to put in the minimum effort. The alleged victims should have been notified by the DA. I am posting the following update here mainly for law enforcement who I appreciate and who are busy non stop keeping the community safe.

Tyus Francis: arrested 2/11, posted bond, report rejected therefore no charges for the arrest.

Rashad Carter, arrested 5/12, released on 5/14, being reviewed and is pending.

Paul Clements, rape by fraud arrest, not arraigned in time, so released from custody on 7/9/26. Report rejected, therefore no charges for the arrest.

Arcata High athletic director blood alcohol for 2026 DUI was .22; he has a previous DUI conviction from a 2021 Napa court case

 

On July 20, CHP arrested Arcata High athletic director Matthew Dusel. His girlfriend was arrested the same night for public intoxication.

Dusel was released on OR. He has a conviction in a CHP 2019 traffic case and a conviction in a CHP 2018 case. He has a 2021 DUI conviction from Napa.

I have been checking daily whether charges were filed. Humboldt DA did file charges on 9/22/26. Arraignment is on 11/23/26.

Dusel's Linkedin profile and Arcata High websites still show him as an employee.

Normally, I would have done a post sooner but it is obvious why I am doing the post today and it is still weeks before arraignment.

According to the complaint, Dusel's blood alcohol level was .22. He is charged with Count 1 DUI , Count 2 driving with a blood alcohol level above the legal limit and that both these alleged offenses are within 10 years of another DUI offense. Both counts have an enhancement that Dusel's BAC was .15% or more.
