How many times does this violent criminal need to violate parole and get arrested before Humboldt Judges decide to keep this community safe?

"The defendant was more credible than the witnesses presented by the prosecution"

Jury deliberations started yesterday in Stephen Robert Johnson's case. Before noon, they were back with a verdict. Not guilty on all counts. Seven jurors spoke with attorneys.

Lot of first time jurors for this trial included North Coast News Director Nazy Javid. I spoke with her outside the courthouse.

Court computers down again

(e court screen as of 12:45 p.m.)

Jail reports don't populate; it is a vendor issue. Payroll does not get done; it is a system/vendor/unknown issue. The County has had tech issues for years. I understand some of the Courts connectivity is dependent on the County infrastructure. Maybe the BOS should replace their outdated servers, computers and equipment? 

Another criminal who came to Humboldt to hide


On Nov. 18, 2021, at about 4:59 p.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the 500 block of Aldergrove Road, in the county’s jurisdiction of Arcata, for the report of a suspicious vehicle parked along the roadway.

Half the County employees did not get paid today

Heard half of the County employees did not get paid today. Overhead this as I was in the Courthouse and out of sight from the employees. I also heard several employees.

I won't say which employees from which office but there were notes on the door regarding paychecks.

Sharing this on Facebook got no comments, should have tagged County and City officials


There were plenty of shares but no comments. Toni Camarata Jansson did not post any follow up.

Instead of Facebook, had the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors and city officials been tagged in this post, maybe there would have been some action taken?

There is no information where the business is located; I am assuming Eureka. Why wasn't Eureka City Hall notified? Was the dumpster locked? 

I found out on November 18, after the post was published, that "the hypodermic syringe situation was located outside of city limits near the Planned Parenthood facility." If you are going to post on Facebook, post complete information. EPD was not even the right agency to call.

Suspect refused to pay for half eaten donut, brandished a firearm and demanded cash


The grocery store is out one donut. Suspect got no cash  and fled the store. Was the firearm even real? Store with that address matches Safeway's location.
