Local Woman Says She’s Fighting Back Against Stalker by Posting Flyers With His Image All Over Town

SunshineSunshine Tresidder is a midwife, a belly dancer and a DJ for KMUD. She’s filing a restraining order against one of her fans. She calls him a stalker. And, she said, he has been stalking other women in the community.

Bill Telnes, the man she accuses of stalking her relentlessly, is reportedly homeless and has volunteered frequently for non-profits including KMUD, the Mateel, Briceland Fire Department and the Healy Senior Center. He also has been arrested for violating an earlier restraining order against another Southern Humboldt woman. (To protect her privacy, we won’t release her name.)

For the last few days, Tresidder has been distributing flyers with Telnes’ photo and information about him. She says she has to do this to protect herself and other women in the community. “[A]lot of other women are [too] afraid to say anything- but not me,” she wrote to us. She said, she wants “this to stop now…he is dangerous and has not moral boundaries and does not give a shit about the law.”

Telnes, she said, has been stalking her for some time. One recent night, texts came from his phone to her phone ten times between 3 a.m. and 10 a.m. each signed Pr1nc3.

“I’m a midwife,” Tresidder said. “I have to have my phone number out there…I sleep with my phone.”

When Tresidder’s son later texted Telnes, warning him to stop bothering her, Telnes denied he had written the texts. He texted back claiming, “Someone stole my phone but i think i got it back.” This was immediately followed by another text, “He only hunts what wants to be hunted.” The text was again signed, Pr1nc3.

CaptureTo the right is one of the flyers posted by Tresidder.

She said that she had to fight back against her alleged stalker somehow. “[I] am a midwife,” she said, “[I] often find myself driving thru town at all hours of the day and night…[I] can’t stop my life.

Tresidder seems confident that she will ultimately prevail. She wrote that she “will make him stop stalking me….but who is next after me?????”

I would like to clarify something in this article, and that is he has been banned by all the non profits mentioned in this article. I feel the wording insinuates he has an ongoing role with these noble organizations that are dedicated to our community and are always in need of volunteers.

.. more serious business than dealing with over 50 complaints against him by women right her in Redway/So Hum??? including some really sick behavior that should have him locked up for good. I know from friends that he cycled all the way up one of our dirt roads, over 4 miles on his bike to harass the last woman he stalked. How do u think the women in town or in the hills feel? Safe?? and no dont ask us to get a gun, more ppl are harmed by guns than they protect. The perp turns it in them. Fact. Same with knives, keys etc. i took a self defense for women class when I lived in the east bay as there was a serial rapist on the loose, so I know all about this! And guns, etc were not the answer. And we all swore never to repeat what we learned anywhere ever, as a man might hear and tell, even inadvertently, a man who might want to abuse, stalk or rape a woman. So.. stop drinking so much booze, go watch the stupid bowl and leave us women, wives, sisters alone!!! enough!!!

No, what this guy is doing is passive aggressive. Ur probably just a comrad of his. Go away cowards who stalk women. We are sick of your twisted deceits. I also know this guy to be a complete tweeker and definitely a stalker. He is tweeking and VERY VERy horny from what it looks like in the pic. I believe this man can’t control himself due to the affects, however degrading, meth have on the mind and body.

Thank you Sunshine. Many of us in Southern Humboldt have learned that we have to be proactive.

We now have an evening town patrol to remind people to mind their manners, and the merchants have started sharing information and photographs of shoplifters. When a known shoplifter comes in our businesses we tell then to leave. Even the restaurants are now telling known thieves to leave their places of business. It is almost comical when the say, “But, I’ve never stolen anything here”.

Good luck, a lot of us are tired of the handful of people that make life less fun for the rest of us.

I know who he is, but it’s too bad that you don’t have a better photo of him.

Kudos to Sunshine for speaking out!!! She has been a super contributing community member for a long time.
I have seen the sheriff’s avoid issues like these for years and years.

What does the sheriff’s office has to say about their lack of action? Does someone have to be physically violated first?

Maybe he will force entry into a home with a person who has a weapon and the problem will be taken care of.
Perhaps its time to get a database of stalkers with restraining orders like the sex offender one.

To bad law inforcment can’t do shit until till the district attorney gets a stack of violations at least five by my count that is if the deputys send them in. At a reasonable time like as soon as they get them but it can take three weeks to get it down the hall to them not to mention they drive back to eureka every night. I talked to them about this fucker and they didn’t really want to help me except officer Gomez was very understanding and tryed to help but the d.a. stopped him and the stalking went on and on. Their needs to be a better way for the women of our community to get their message through to this piece of trash. All so,hum folks need to make sure when your getting your coffee at signature coffee or your sandwich at d,amatos ,keep an eye on your women and children. [edit] He has aspergers desease look it up on the net He will never get the message no matter how clear you think you are being he is as sick as they come. It’s only a mater of time before it goes all bad because he is no good

This guy has been around probably 8-10 years or so.. Imagine if you ran background checks on all the “homeless” bum drifters that inhabit our communities with amnesty.
We have no clue who these people are and we’re enabling it.
The career transients are all ready flooding into town earlier than ever before, this year will certainly be worst than the last.
I hope more people ban together to protect their town by volunteering this year with the Town Patrol.
I also support community fundraisers for not only cleaning up these camps but fencing them off for good. Get rid of the camps and get rid of the problem.
Simple critical thinking.
It’s time to stand up against the abuse these people are putting us all thru.
Tell everyone to start becoming proactive!

Eddy, the only problem with that idea of fencing properties where transients camp is that a lot of the camps are on private property, although in our watershed. We’d need to get the owners permission to do that. And even then, there’s so much open land here, we’d have fences every 10 ft. I think the homeless problem runs much deeper than most of us want to admit. It’s not a simple fix. Our country needs more jobs, jobs that pay a living wage, more help for the mentally unstable, more affordable housing, etc.

He seems to hang out in Redway so maybe we need to create a town patrol in Redway, phone tree, neighborhood watch etc.. I see creepy people cruising around the neighborhoods on bikes, like they are casing people’s houses, garages etc. In Redway children no longer feel safe walking home in the darkness, and for as long as I’ve been on the planet women have never felt safe.
I have told Sunshine that she could text this stalker/creep/predator to meet her outside K mud, where she’ll be sitting, then several people show up and talk to him about his behavior, and let him know that he’s not going to get away with this and it must stop. NOW! Other people can be in the background over at Solar Suites and in the office at KMUD, keeping an eye on things. Someone who is trained in conflict management, and mental health counseling could be in the small group, not a huge group but maybe five or six people.
He needs to know that this community will not allow this to continue.

Now you call on men to protect Women? I think the Femanazies have already told us they don’t really need displays of masculinity, you know ” a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle” Political Correctness has feminized younger men for so long that like in Europe when the barbarians show up and sexually attack the women the men are incapable of defending their women or their country. My advise for women is to buy yourself a weapon and get your dad or uncle (or the women in the redwood gun club in Garberville) to educate you on its use. This illustrates the importance and utility of the Second Amendment. Considering what is going on in the world I feel women should be armed

Your comment about Ernie is so off base. Sitting down and having a chat with a stalker is not the answer. Stalkers cannot be reasoned with, they find nothing wrong with what they are doing. They believe that the person they have targeted actually loves them and they belong together despite being told otherwise. This guy needs to be run out of the area, pronto.

Why should his horrible behaviour be rewarded with help while so many many others who need and want the help are suffering???? Have you not heard there are not even enough sheriffs to get to business break ins? How many folks on the street are ill wanting help? Yeah let’s tell them once they start stalking and get multiple restraining orders they will get help.

The biggest point here is all legal options have been utilized and this is the best you get UNTIL someone gets physically hurt or killed and it can be pinned on stalker. So what do we do? Run him out into another community where he will do the same? Its great to think police work is like tv shows, where the cops woukd find out where this guy lived before to see if other complaints happened in those towns then work with the DA to build a case against this guy. But they don’t. Didnt even take my address when I reported home break in so you think they’d do this footwork?

Really think, what if this guy was harassing your kids? Everyday you pick them up hes there talking to them ir watching them.
Or you? Would you really want a sit-down with a guy who lets sat harassed you at work and followed you everywhere yelling nasty words at you and outside your house all night? The cops wouldn’t do anything to help you.

May the dear lady be covered in a hedge of protection. Calling out your stalker is so bold and my hope is that folks follow up and watch this fella. Is he mentally ill? Or just a creepy kind of guy? It is wonderful that there is more clarification in the law about “stalking”. If he is mentally ill, then sadly the “system” is not equipped to help him address his “issues”. Gosh, so sad to read the article and see that the dear lady has had to go to such measures. to put the issue out there for all to see, assess and then respond. May she and all others be protected from all the stuff that comes with being stalked.

I think it’s good to make people aware of his problems and the fact that he has a hard time letting go of ladys. But my father is SICK!!!!! for those of you that said he should be put down and made other awful remarks about him just ask you self what if he was your father or your son or brother how would you feel about it then. I am ashamed of the community i come from because of this form of public humiliation and slander. Oh and by the way he isn’t baned from most of these places anymore. He actually beat the court case.

He usually dresses very well, with good rain gear and a safari hat and a good bike. He’s an experienced camper, unlike many. He knows what he’s doing . The photo is a poor characterization. So his main way in is to actually look respectable.

He presents himself as a family man with a kid, but there is always something missing from the conversation. You would not know he’s homeless if you’re just talking to him for the first time. He’ll come to events and just sit and stare and not participate, except to volunteer sometimes. He is soft-spoken. Beginnings and the 2 schools for children there have been stalked by him and he’s not allowed there. He comes there for “water,” including recently.

He is ubiquitous. You can’t miss him. A better photo is needed but the nice bike, the safari hat and good rain gear when it rains, and the large, stocky build are ways to also recognize him. He rides up and down Briceland Road and I wouldn’t be surprised if he camps off Briceland Rd. somewhere. He’s mostly in Redway when in town–bicycling between Redway and Briceland itself.

Agreed, the man probably needs help, thx to republican Ronald Reagan the systems meant to screen and help such an individual were abandoned long ago. During my time with any of the 3 organizations mentioned I did meet some people who were in that category–as well as those of means but with the same underlying psche….however as much as I wish no harm upon the victim or anyone it should be noted that the vagueness and unconstitutionality of the ways the act is implemented leads to abuse. Counties receive law enforcement perks as do CWS departments for “Direct hits”. I know because I am a victim of such an abuse. Slick attorneys that sleep regardless of what horrors they commit can waltz into a court room and destroy a person completely ignore due process and the law in collusion with a judge and that is it. You are a criminal and forget about seeing your children. Men and women abuse this….as casually as a friend that finds it amusing to tell the server it is their birthday to get a complimentary dessert– that’s not the right way, kindness isn’t weakness. Just food for thought. I have not seen my children in a year because an attorney suggested to former partner it was a great way to go, to ensure I started the race 5 laps behind. Who suffers, besides myself? The children. Who cares? Apparently no one. Exhaustive research yields no organization to help the unfortunate victims of this travesty. Friends of a decade turn away from you because a simple lie is always easier to believe than the truth. Sohum, you know me and I feel let down. This is a nightmare someone who gave so much for so many years should not have to endure, I miss my children, have no record but in a matter of minutes they were irrevocably taken away. To see them all I have to do is accept I committed a crime I did not and jump through some hoops. The last I spoke with my children I was teaching them about civics. I will not compromise who i am, who they are. Don’t think this couldn’t happen to you……I was stunned as it was happening. My life has no meaning without my children. But no one is likely to publish my tale……

she wasnt the one being supposedly stalked, the one supposedly being stalked was [edit], who the judge threw out the charges on because they were outrageous and unwarranted, i know the individual telnes who is a long term local resident local volunteer firefighter, and former board member for briceland fire and all around community volunteer who was in a bad accident and damaged his leg, he has been stayin close to town since before his surgery and now in his recovery, i personally watched sunshine and bill interact at work and in social situations and they were both mutually amiable, its too bad that somehow they miscommunicated because all of his friends thought they would be a good match since the other woman in his life was dumping him off in town. go talk to bill personally, he is honest to a fault and will probaly tell you more than you want to know

“a good match” are you nuts?. Sunshine clearly doesn’t feel that way, so that’s the end of that. Everyone has a dark side, and people (female people) are saying loud and clear that they do not like they way they feel in his presence. Obviously he lacks respect for healthy boundaries, “no” means “no”, and he’s not respecting that. His volunteer work looks good on paper, but the other side of the coin is we (women) are not feeling comfortable with what he is doing. “He only hunts what wants to be hunted”. Think about that for a moment.

Yes …. He is nuts and delusional! Anonymous speaks with Bill’s words… Any one who “personally knows” bill knows he has restraining orders as he recently spent time in Jail for violating a restraining order for stalking…. Also I have had NO social interaction with Bill outside of KMUD fundraisers….Also your words “its too bad they miscommunicated because all of his friends thought they would be a good match since the other woman in his life was dumping him off in town.”
Tells me exactly who anonymous is….

Nice try, Bill. You know you’re leaving, we know you’re leaving. You can no longer stay here. You are banished. Don’t prolong it. Hop on your bike. And snap out of denial next place you go. You’re in denial, Bill. However, one thing you are not in denial about is the fact that you’re leaving. You know you’re leaving, we know you’re leaving. Today, after the sun rises, or perhaps before, so no one will see you leave, saving you the added disgrace. And don’t forget, you have a family you abandoned. You have a lot of making up to do. Just not here. Fare better elsewhere than you did here. Goodbye, Bill.

He never abandoned his family. I know because i am his kid. His only kid. He talks to me everyday. You want to know whats a shame about all of this is that fact that his family isn’t able to look past his past mistakes and try to stand by him and help him like i try to. You all should be ashamed of your selfs. If he wants to live in humboldt then let him. Btw my dad doesn’t type like that so it definitely was not him that wrote the original comment. If any of you want to actually know about the real bill please feel free to message me on facebook. (Monique Chandelle Telnes). My father has nothing to hide and ill be more than happy to talk about any of this with any of you people.

Go SoHum! Just don’t shove him off to some other community, figure out how to neutralize him in a positive way or trick him into creating more of a black mark on himself that could used by the law). Since y’all ran the child molester out of Salmon Creek in the late ’90s he moved up to Arcata in his pink heavily graffitied RV, (“eat pussy not cow” ??? where he walks around toting a Barbie backpack giving us mommas chills.

Yes!! I witnessed a group of guys try to take him down in redway one afternoon years ago, the woman who was calling him out seemed terrified.
Dude pulled his video camera out of his toy filled barbie backpack while telling the guys he’l get them on video threatening and/or punching him and would press charges, the chp and a sheriff showed up and said no vigilante mob! (for real) & when guys asked what they could do sheriff said come file paper report at substation. More what, u gotta be kidding me, etc statements then cops waited for group to disperse and creeper slinked off down behind the liquor store towards the skool.
I think his van ended up with all the old seafood from some store shoved in every possible crevice.

Now he’s parked in arcata north town near skate park or on J street right by Samoa and across from back of the hot tubs at cafe mokka, highly recommend checking outside that fence before gettin naked, he mayb lurking.
I have called the arcata police department numerous times a year for the last few years about him and what I saw that day in redway and cant they see what the sheriff has on him? Or put extra patrol wherever he’s parked? They have the most cops per capita along with campus cops who are allowed jurisdiction in arcata city limits. Even then they won’t do anything? Wha???

I think I saw that guy, being naughty/nuts

Possible Tuesday Sighting:
Saw a wingnut that looks just like him, standing around being “talking to himself/at all going by ” up on HSU today. The campus cops were getting ready to chase him off. Didn’t stick around to see what happened. Couldn’t stop to see what happened after I saw him moving off when the 6-up rolled up, except he was moving quick away from him.

I am wondering where County Mental Health is? This is exactly what they NEED to be dealing with. Where’s a street outreach team? Where IS our government?

It’s not fair all of you against one.
Kym and the gang don’t have ethics, just their own point of view.
Why not just set up a boxing ring in the shop smart parking lot get some gloves on and have sunshine fight this guy?

What is not “fair” is this person disrupting lives and instilling fear. If you don’t respect people, people won’t respect you. And who the heck is “the gang”?!

Considering your comments you wouldn’t know ethics if they slapped you up side the head.

I knew a person once, unfortunately a close family member, who had those symptoms but was a paranoid schizophrenic.

Im sure following him and taking pictures of him than posting them to a local news site without consent to realese them is illegal and also a form of stalking. Your litterally going out of your way to take pictures of him by following him. So i would be careful with those stones you are casting because you can also get in trouble.
