Karen Schneider was arrested for trespassing outside a residence on Bayview Drive

Karen Diane Schneider was arrested at 2:28 a.m on July 18 by HCSO for PC 602(o) trespassing. She posted cash bail and was released from custody at 9:46 a.m. Bail was $5,000 since this is a misdemeanor.

HCSO PIO Samantha Karges said, "Ms. Schneider was arrested outside a residence on the 2400 block of Bayview Drive in unincorporated Eureka."

For those of you who recognize the name, she is the daughter of a local family with a lot of money and properties.

I do not selectively report based on who you are in Humboldt.  News is not ignored or overlooked based on who your "status. " I report on crimes and trespass is one of them. 

Charges may or may not be filed. There was enough probable cause for arrest. I waited 24 hours to do this post because I wanted to get a booking photo to confirm the identity and to see if Schneider would contact me.
