CHP and Humboldt Sheriff Honsal mentioned in "antifa bus" article

 

The Guardian did not make lame jokes like some of the local "media" who made a big deal about the "antifa bus" but did no real reporting. The Guardian provided some information with an opinion. 

Another example of Humboldt making national and international headlines for all the wrong reasons.

The same local "media" who are enabled, protected and funded by the good ole Humboldt corrupt, psycophants and status quo who chose to consistently invest in the wrong people as well as hinder independent reporting and it constantly backfires on them. 

The decent law enforcement, people and businesses in Humboldt don't deserve to be included with those mentioned above.

Listed below are some excerpts from The Guardian article and the link to the article. 

High risk parolee and sex offender released twice on OR despite being arrested twice since July

High risk parolee, peeping Tom and convicted sex offender Charles Steven Flinn was arrested in July for parole violation and released on OR.  He was arrested again yesterday by Arcata Police Department for PC 182(a)(1) criminal conspiracy , possession of Controlled Substance, PC 466 possession of burglary tools and PC664/459 attempted burglary.  Once again,Flinn was released on O.R.

Ray Christie buys his namesake and Supervisor Bohn cracks a joke

Ray Christie bought three dairy heifers and other animals at the Humboldt County Fair. He has done this for years. I was informed by sources that this included Super Champion chickens, turkeys and pigs, including the FFA pig named Christie raised by Jack Honsal.

Will Sheriff Billy Honsal keep the money this year or "donate" it like he did last year. That "donation" was done only after my post was published last year about Ray Christie buying the pig Jack Honsal raised. 

I called Ray Christie and he confirmed that he bought his namesake.

After last year, naming Jack Honsal's pig Christie and posting about it is tacky and bad judgement

 

(this was posted earlier today)

Last year, I broke the story that Ray Christie paid $9,975 for a pig raised by Jack Honsal. After my post on Ray Christie purchasing the pig from the Honsal family, sources told me "the money Ray paid for the pig was donated to another cause and another person bought the pig for $4000. The Sheriff called Ray's money 'Dirty Money'." This was confirmed later.

This Facebook post about another pig Jack Honsal raised and named Christie is tacky. Posting it on social media is bad judgement. Of course, it would get attention.

Judge Canning released a meth addict charged with child abuse for hurting an infant and pointing a firearm at an older child

While waiting in court yesterday for other cases, I got to witness another disaster created by California's criminal friendly politicians and another criminal who shouldn't have been  released by Judge Timothy Canning in 2019. 

A mistake that was only fixed yesterday due to another excellent argument by Deputy District Attorney Whitney Timm. Judge Christopher Wilson denied supervised release for Martin Warren which was also the recommendation by Probation.

Remember the 2019 CHP case where the passenger jumped out of the car?

Closing arguments in kidnapping and domestic violence suspect Richard Avery Dorey Jr's case started this afternoon. Towards the end of the day, the jury started deliberations.

Maybe Timothy Ziegler needs to be cuffed by DA investigators and held in custody so his jury trial can finally proceed

At trial assignment, Timothy Ziegler jury trial supposed to start depending on courtroom availability . He was a no show. Bench warrant was issued but held until the next court date.

I started covering this guy when he was arrested by the DA investigators at the courthouse. He has been through two public defenders; now a Bay area attorney.  The only way this trial may actually proceed is with Ziegler in custody.

Victim gets restraining order against Kaven Dangerfield for five years

Kaven Dangerfield had an OR/bail hearing today. It was continued to Monday so Judge Christopher Wilson could review the preliminary hearing transcript. Bail remains as set, for now, but could be increased or be a no bail warrant.

In the civil restraining case filed against him by the alleged victim , Dangerfield was not in court. Judge Gregory Elvine-Kreis granted the restraining order for five years. 

Sexually violent predator Joshua Cooley will remain at Coalinga

I covered every single hearing on this case and many exclusive posts. I reported last week that Retired Judge John Feeney would issue a written ruling. The next hearing is an annual report on February 25, 2022.

2/25/22: I checked with Assistant Deputy District Attorney Stacey Eads. It was an annual report hearing. Nothing to report.

Kevin William Wesley Dikes was arraigned this afternoon. He got a bit of break this afternoon when bail was set at $915,000 instead of a million. That bail amount could change next week.

Power surge broke the metal detector

Since Tuesday afternoon at 3:30, a power surge broke the metal detector screening equipment. 

You cannot enter from 5th street entrance but you can exit the building from that side. It has still not been fixed. 

Derek Hughes nixed from Redwood National and State Parks

Following 38-year-old Derek Alwin Hughes’ guilty plea to one count of felony vandalism on July 23rd, Judge Christopher Wilson today sentenced Hughes to two years on probation and ordered him to complete 400 hours of community service and to stay out of Redwood National and State Parks.
