The DA just issued a press release on a verdict for Ryan Doucet.
I covered another case in 2015.
DA Press Release (November 17):
On November 17, 2023, a Humboldt County jury convicted a Bayside man, 43-year-old Ryan Michael Doucet, of multiple felony crimes including child endangerment, possession of fentanyl with intent to sell, as well as possession of destructive devices and materials to make destructive devices.
After the District Attorney presented their evidence during the trial, Doucet pled guilty to additional crimes including possession of assault weapons for sale, being a felon in possession of firearms and for possessing high-capacity magazines.

Doucet, who faces up to 14 years 8 months in prison for his crimes, is scheduled for sentencing on December 7 by the Honorable Steven M. Steward, who presided over the trial.
HCSO Press Release (April 2023):
On April 1, 2023, at about 12:40 p.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the 200 block of Garden Lane in Bayside to investigate suspicious activity associated with a residence.
During their investigation, deputies learned that one individual associated with the residence, 42-year-old Ryan Michael Doucet, was on formal probation with a search clause. Deputies contacted Doucet, 30-year-old Kathleen Renee Ellis, and a young juvenile at the residence. During a search of the residence pursuant to the terms of Doucet’s probation, deputies located approximately 2 ounces of powdered fentanyl, over 15 grams of methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and items consistent with the sale of controlled substances. These substances were found to be unsecured and accessible to the juvenile at the residence.
Deputies also located a box truck parked on the property associated with Doucet. Inside the truck, deputies located over 5.9 ounces of fentanyl, multiple firearms, ammunition, suppressors, body armor, bomb making materials and multiple improvised explosive devices. The Sheriff’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team responded and rendered the devices safe.
