Kailan Meserve posted bail which was set at 2 million, is out of custody and out of town; preliminary hearing rescheduled

Former Arcata City Council member Dave Meserve was with his son Kailan Meserve and other members of his family were in court this morning as well.

Kailan Meserve is charged with 17 counts including threats to commit crime resultung in death, first degree burglary, forcible oral copulation (several counts), sexual battery, kidnap to commit robbery, penetration by a foreign object and assault with a deadly weapon. A criminal protective order has been served on him.

At the last court hearing, bail reduction was denied and the District Attorney's office had requested that bail money be posted with proof that it was obtained by legitimate means.

In May, the defense wanted Meserve to wear an ankle monitor and attend a detox program in Washington. Sometime between the last hearing and now, Kailan Meserve made bail and all that was said this morning was that he and his family travelled out of state.

Due to courtroom unavalibility, a special set of August  7 in Courtroom 2 to commence preliminary hearing or do a disposition and reset hearing was set and stipulated by both parties. This was mentioned during the morning calendar to Judge John Feeney but the dates were set this afternoon in front of Judge Joyce Hinrich.
