12 criminal cases, 3 restraining orders granted and a fourth WVRO requested by City of Eureka after death threats and explicit threats by Aunna Bollman to current and former elected officials and City of Eureka staff

Aunna Bollman's has 12 criminal cases with a preliminary hearing scheduled in her latest case for 8/27.

The alleged victims in the latest criminal case are City of Eureka Assistant Manager and City Clerk Pam Powell, Humboldt County Deputy District Attorney Roger Rees and Donna Cotham who was Bollman's former neighbor at Serenity Inn.

Deputy District Attorney Carolyn Schaffer is the prosecutor. Mr. Gregory Kreis is Bollman's attorney.

She already has three civil restraining orders against her requested granted by the City of Fortuna, County of Humboldt and DANCO. On 8/7, the City of Eureka filed a petition for workplace restraining order. The City of Eureka is represented by Ms. Lisa J. Sharkey from San Francisco's Renee Public Law Group. Protected parties are City of Eureka Assistant Manager and City Clerk Pam Powell, City of Eureka Manager Miles Slattery and City of Eureka Mayor Kim Bergel with additional city employees listed in attachment including Ms. Christine Lopez, Paralegal and Deputy City Clerk for the City of Eureka.

On July 1, Bollman left a voicemail for Powell containing death threats including she would "blow Pamela J. Powell's fucking head off." From July 2023 to July 3, 2025, Bollman left 30 messages with atleast 25 explicit threats against various City employees. In Powell's declarations, she states more specific threats, Bollman knowing details about her son's friends, connections to her family. Bollman left threats directed at former Eureka Mayor Susan Seaman and former Eureka City Manager Greg Sparks. Judge Kaleb Cockrum signed a criminal protective order dated July 9, 2025 for Powell.

That does nothing. Judge Cockrum is the one who has granted mental health diversion to Sean Lundy and Analia Martinez who violated multiple protective orders and number of criminal cases. Judge Steven Steward and Judge Lawrence Killoran tried to protect the public. These are only two examples of failed diversion. If you read my blog, there are many more.

Bollman has 11 criminal cases and three restaining orders before this 12th criminal case and 4th request for a workplace restraining order.

A hearing is scheduled for 8/27 in Courtroom 8 after Commissioner Sarah Kaber signed the request by the City of Eureka for temporary restraining order on 8/12/25. The TRO was granted for Slattery, Powell and Fazio; denied for other City of Eureka employees. Bollman can go to City Hall of Eureka for legitimate business purposes. Eureka Police Department to be notified in advance when Bollman plans to be at City Hall.

I have more details in my coverage of Bollman and her complete criminal history than Lopez' declaration.

I have added some court documents. I am not adding every exihibit. I did add the transcript of the last court hearing although I covered that hearing in detail and there is no new information in the transcript.
