Co-owner of Northern California Pet Supply and Grooming charged with filing a false document and grand theft

(Facebook)

A regular and loyal reader of mine since I started Words Worth sent me a message late afternoon. It was a social media Facebook post about Jennifer Wrask circulating that someone sent to this person.

I am not going to post the screenshot sent because I have no way of tracing the original person who posted it and there were unsubstantiated opinions and claims in that Facebook post about  Wrask's business.

The message from my reader was "Hi John, do you know anything about this? Jennifer Wrask owns Nor Cal Pets in McK." 

Wrask is the co-owner of Northern California Pet Supply and Grooming in McKinleyville. I did check if there was a court case or any charges filed against Wrask.

I checked with HCSO and there is no booking photo in the system. Wrask was arraigned last October. The charges are PC 115 (a) procuring or offering a false or forged instrument and PC 503  grand theft embezzlement.

There is a setting for a preliminary hearing on 3/8/23. Defense is retaining a forensic expert.

Some of my readers active in the Humboldt animal rescue community read the post and are shocked. They reserve judgement until the case makes its way through the judicial system









3/8: Setting of prelim continued to April 24. Oral motion to continue by defense requested to contact financial expert.Public Defender Luke Brownfield appeared for Wrask. Deputy District Attorney Trent Timm for the People.

4/24: Preliminary scheduled for 7/11.

7/11: Preliminary hearing continued by stipulation to 9/6. Parties close to resolution parties and working on restitution amount.
