Shamus T Bones alleged embezzlement suspect to be arraigned next week

Thank you to Luke Brownfield from the Humboldt County District Attorney's office for his prompt response. He also said this information has been communicated to Mr. Chris Barry.

Mr. Barry said that he only learned of the arraignment through this post and that his last contact with Mr. Brownfield was via an email stating that Mr. Brownfield would inform Mr. Barry of the arraignment.

The alleged suspect's name is Malcolm Carpenter.  According to Mr. Barry, he worked for Curleys before he came to work for Shamus.  "We treated him like family," said Mr. Barry.  "We loaned him cash for his lawyer when he was going through a custody battle. Never paid it back"

Mr. Barry's frustration comes from the fact that  he feels there is nothing specific in responses via emails notifying him of the alleged suspect's arrest or the alleged suspect being contacted by law enforcement. Mr. Barry is frustrated that it took 2 months from the original incident for him to get responses. He is frustrated because he is trying to watch out for the community and  warning other restaurant owners about the suspect, the allegations by saying  'If this is true, why haven't I been arrested?'

There are many emails to go through, once I wade through them all, I will have more.

 I emailed Luke Brownfield, District Attorney Paul Gallegos and Chief Andy Mills regarding the status of this case. Mr. Brownfield who is prosecuting the case responded.
