(Johnson Sanchez)

Melissa Renee Johnson Sanchez was arrested on November 8. She is scheduled to be arraigned some time this afternoon. An arrest warrant was ordered for her on 10/29/21. The same complaint is filed in the system in her case and the case for her co-defendant, convicted sex offender Von Keener. He is wanted for parole violation. The complaint was filed in his case on 10/27/21 with a declaration for an arrest warrant on 10/28/21.

Update after hearing: Ms. Andrea Sullivan made an appearance on behalf of Johnson Sanchez. Deputy District Attorney Roger Rees is the prosecutor for the case. He is currently in trial so Deputy DA Jane Mackie appeared on the case for arraignment.

OR/bail for Johnson Sanchez is on November 12 and preliminary hearing is on November 22. Bail was set at $25,000 by Judge Wilson.

Around 6 p.m. today Fortuna Police Department arrested Von Keener. He has the same charge as Johnson Sanchez in the most recent case but he will have a parole hold so Keener cannot bail out unless a Judge makes a different ruling.
