I did a post on the reckless driving arrest yesterday with photos of the white truck and information from Eureka Police Department on scene. I covered it live with several photos.

Based on the charges and time from jail log, it looks like the arrest was for Scott Risling Brooks. I confirmed with EPD it is Brooks. Bail is $45,000. I have asked if a booking photo can be released but with the 9th Circuit ruling, that depends on EPD Chief Brian Stephen's discretion.

Brooks was arrested for HS 11350(a), PC148 (a)(1) resisting arrest, two counts of PC 1203.2(a) probation violation, PC 602.5(a), , PC 243(b), PC69, VC20002(a), VC12500(a), VC23152(f), VC2800.1(a). Some of the charges are news and some from a bench warrant. In 2024, Brooks already has two 2024 cases. Charges for the December arrest would make it his third 2024 case.

Brooks has 8 cases in the Humboldt Superior Court system which includes one open 2024 crininal case filed 11/18/24. CR2403448  filed 11/18/24 for an Arcata PD case. Count t 1 PC 148 (a) (1) and Count 2 HS 11350 possession of cocaine. Brooks failed to appear for arraignment on 12/2/24; bench warrant issued for $5,000 by Retired Judge Ksenia Tsenin. Arraignment scheduled for 1/3/25 in this case but may change due to the December 2024 EPD arrest. 










Brooks has a conviction in another 2024 case for PC 550 (b) (1) for insurance fraud. Court minutes do not list what happened to Count 2 and 3. He has a violation of probation in his 2023 case, conviction in traffic case and conviction in 2019 DUI case.
