This is a tough post for me to write but unlike other media, I don't do selective reporting

Anakalia Sullivan, a local attorney and one of my advertisers, was arrested by Eureka Police Department for VC 23152 (a) and VC 23152(b) last night. She was booked and released on OR.

Booking photos are no longer released after the Ninth Circuit ruling. I have reached out to EPD to see what they can release and confirm. One of my questions was about confirming the location. 

I have also reached out to Ms. Sullivan and gave her the option to officially comment. I am fine if she does not; that is what any lawyer would tell their client. She is extremely busy. She just completed the Widmark trial, has another trial and several preliminary hearings.

I may update the post. Just like any other case, the DA has yet to review a report and charges have not been filed. 

This is a tough post for me to write but I have covered other local attorneys and unlike other media, I don't do selective reporting. People get DUIs all the time. Which DUI cases get covered depends on many factors.

One of the reasons I did this post was because I know how two faced, sneaky, back stabbing this County is, especially the vipers on the second floor of the Courthouse. 

Before someone jealous and petty of Ms. Sullivan's success runs to other local media to make a big deal about this DUI case when other media have ignored so many other court and DUI cases and been called out by readers for ignoring cases about their advertisers. I covered those cases. One such example the other media ignored is Eureka Natural Foods' Rick Littlefield who had multiple DUIs and got SWAP. Mr. Patrik Griego of Janssen Malloy represented Littlefield. In another lawsuit, Mr. Griego and Ms. Meagan Yarnall of Janssen Malloy represented ENF again. That case was ignored by the local media.

I decided not to allow these vipers to use their agenda and post it first. The Humboldt daily jail log is full of DUIs every day.

It sucks to be honest and do independent reporting in a small County. People who know Ms. Sullivan and like her, understand and our opinion of her has not changed. She has a lot of support, including from me and several people at the Courthouse.  

Ms. Sullivan has always treated me well, respects me and I have written posts about her cases very objectively.
