Scott Brooks who drove the wrong way on Eureka streets, tried to enter the Courthouse via the basement entrance, did hit and run property damage to several vehicles, has 5 open cases and prior convictions had a contested hearing scheduled on 10/27 which was continued to today. His case is also on for change of plea today to Count 4.
Humboldt Superior Court Assistant Presiding Judge Timothy Canning found Brooks eligible for mental health diversion except for Count 4 since driving under the influence offense is not eligible for that offense. Judge Canning's granting of petition for mental health diversion was contingent upon Brooks pleading guilty to Count 4, driving under the influence of drugs. In court minutes for 10/27/25, there is no mention whether that includes the special allegation for Count 4, refusal to take a chemical test but in 10/31/25 minutes, it says special allegation was dismissed with Counts 1, 2, 3, 5, 6,7, 8,9, 10 and 11.
Jury trial scheduled for 11/3 was vacated.
Mental health diversion granted in both cases. Sentencing is on 11/7. Diversion review hearing on 12/1/25; Final diversion review hearing on 5/3/27.
8/27/25 court minutes:
10/31/25 court minutes:
11/7/25: Brooks was sentenced.
