From Santa Clara to San Francisco then "high on LSD" resisting arrest in Eureka finally nails the coffin for Zachary Scudder who incriminates himself in court despite being told to shush

Gotta love a criminal who does not shut up despite the judge's advice and his own attorney's advice and seals his own fate.

It isn't the first time an alleged criminal does not listen to the judge or his own attorney and keeps talking. This time Zachary Scudder talked himself out of being released and by blurting out what he did showed Judge Timothy Cissna that he lied to probation.

Scudder jumped up in court as his case was called and before Judge Cissna could even finish reading the charge against him, he yelled, please give me another chance, I 'm ready to turn over a new leaf.

He kept doing this while his court appointed attorney, Conflict Counsel's David Lee, was trying to help fix the damage and complete arraignment.

DDA Stacey Eads opposed Scudder's release. She told Judge Cissna that he had only been in Humboldt County for two weeks and that he had a "lengthy record" in Santa Clara and San Francisco and she read of the penal codes and crimes he had been convicted of, then he "smashed a window in Eureka causing $1,000 of damage" and "it took several officers to arrest him." They had to taser him.
Scudder kept yelling he was "high on LSD" and did not know what he was doing.

In his probation report, he said he denied any substance abuse and Judge Cissna called him on that fact. The fact that he has no place to live and was renting a motel room and had no ties to the community further sunk the nail in his coffin.

In this case, Scudder is charged with Count 1 Vandalism, Count 2 Obstructing/Resisting Police Officer, Count 3 Disorderly Conduct Under the Influence of a Drug, Count 4 same charge as Count 2 and Count 5 same charge as Count 3.
