Criminal proceedings suspended against man who assaulted an elder and dependent adult near Courthouse Market

Dressed in red since he is housed in the administrative segregation unit and bound in chains, Kristopher Jett sat silently in Courtroom 5 this morning as his attorney, Conflict Counsel's Mr. David Lee, told Judge Joyce Hinrichs, that he was declaring doubt regarding Jett and requesting a professional be appointed to evaluate Jett.

Judge Hinrichs then stated on record that Jett's attorney "has declared doubt as to his mental competency according to Penal Code 1368. Criminal proceedings in Jett's cases have been suspended."

Dr. Ramirez was appointed to evaluate Jett and if he is unavailable, Dr. Roy was appointed as an alternate.

Deputy District Attorney Jackie Pizzo was present for the People.

I had notified Eureka Main Street with concerns about Kristopher Jett who was just arrested for assault

Kristopher Jett has been hanging out near 3rd and I for two months. He would alternate between the parking lot on 3rd and I and the old Winzler and Kelly offices on 3rd and H, sleeping and playing loud music on his cell phone.

He would beg for money, snub if you offered change. When his behavior got more erratic, and I saw him damaging columns at the old Winzler and Kelly Office with a big knife, I notified Charlotte McDonald from Eureka Main Street two days ago. He had also been yelling with no provocation to passerbys.



EPD Press Release:

On 10/13/15 at about 8:30 p.m., Officers with the Eureka Police Department were dispatched to the 900 block of 4th Street for the report of an assault with what appeared to be a pipe.

Officers responded and found the suspect across the street waiting for officers near the entrance to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility. 

The suspect was identified as Kristopher Jett, 29, transient of Crescent City. 

The victim had moderate injuries to his face but declined medical attention on scene.  Based on victim and witness descriptions, it was determined that Jett attacked the victim with the handle end of a golf club without reason.

Jett walked into the jail with officers and was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and parole violation.
