Former attorney Jason James Eads was arrested for PC 647 (f) public intoxication on 8/31/26 by Arcata Police Department. He was released per 849 (b) (2) which basically means the jail let him sober up in what is known as the "drunk tank" and he was released.
The formal definition is that this penal code "allows law enforcement officers to release a person from custody without taking them before a judge if they were arrested for alcohol intoxication only and no further criminal prosecution is needed."
Of course, you did not read about this arrest in other local media who claim to cover court and certainly not on the site where Stokes, Hamer, Eads and Hamer advertises who repost the jail reports and started doing a court column which is days and weeks late on Humboldt court cases I report live and regularly.
I covered the DUI of one my advertisers and I have reported on attorneys being arrested for DUIs. My ads are in a fixed position and show regardless of what post you read unlike other sites.
"FYI. Jason eads attorney ex of Stacy was suspended from practicing in law as of July 1. He is no longer associated with the Stokes firm and they took him off the website. He was arrested last week for drunk in public. "
Jason Eads in ineligible to practice law. On the website, his name still appears where the firm is listed but where the partners and attorneys are listed, his name and picture have been removed.
I did see the arrest but I don't do posts on just one drunk in public arrest. Being ineligible to practice law and no longer being at your law firm is news.
