Stephen Paiment was arrested on August 23 by Eureka Police Department. I posted live. The photos are from the video provided to me by Shannon Cortez.

The DA filed three charges and Paiment is scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon. He has been in custody for 4 days. Paiment is charged with Count 1 PC 451 (d) arson as a felony; Count 2 PC 594 (b) 2 vandalism as a misdemeanor and Count 3 PC 374.4 (a) littering on public/private property.
Retired Judge John Feeney set bail at $45,000; appointed the Public Defender's office to represent Paiment. OR bail is on 8/29; preliminary hearing is on 9/9/25. Paiment sat quietly until his case was called. There was no acting out and no issues at his arraignment.
In addition to this 2025 arrest , 15 prior cases come up for Paiment in Humboldt e court search results; two are duplicate listings. Some are family law cases.
Today, is another full day with multiple cases and several high profile hearings and I will add more on the charges as I can today. If a certain preliminary hearing proceeds, I will still cover arraignment but that case is priority.
