Good thing the HCSO used their superb judgement and let him go after he assaulted the security guard and put him in the hospital the day before. Maybe this time they will take him to jail for an hour or two before they let him out. That’ll teach him.

The followed the law Mr Armchair Quarterback. No victim present to identify and press charges on a specified crime therefore get all the ID etc on the suspect, suspect statement and release the suspect. Talk to the victim and write the warrant. It’s the law!!

A Humboldt County Superior Court judge is going to put this clown through the wringer. Double probation!! That should show him who’s boss. When you get sick and tired of this know that judges can be recalled if they were elected.

Did 3 people conspire to make up a story as a means to get rid of a guy who assaulted a guard previously……or, is the allegations fully factual only???

The way some people are today, if they don’t like a person, they will put themselves into a situation with the person in order to set up the person for a fall. (a form of Harassment connected to the end game)

Why were no injuries reported?
What was the “assault”. Battery is physical contact, not assault…..so what was the assault…..and no lies please (making a false statement to a LEO)…..

It is wrong, and evil in and of itself, to lie about an incident because ya want a guy off the streets. (False Imprisonment)

Convict the guy on the security guard A/B, because the facts align, along with the ineptness of deputy procedure to let victim and perp go without an answer to pressing charges when the Victim was totally conscious and aware to wit. (All points considered, short term resolve)

To lure, induce, conspire to make up a false story to add extra charges later is not justifiable and is EVIL SHIT by any group. (Conspiracy to commit a crime)

Any witnesses to these three, or is it a gang bang attempt to smear…..(no witnesses so far….. now, DA Flemming must confirm legitimacy of three alleged victim’s statements…….)(False Statements takes away time and work from legitimate arrests)

Press release : “The victims stated they were speaking with the suspect, 46 year old Scott Joseph Crane. During the conversation Crane got upset and assaulted the two male victims. The female victim attempted to intervene at which point Crane assaulted her.”

Kym Kemp – Do you have access to the “description” of what exactly the assaults were…….Jesus would not want a criminal falsely convicted due to a smear job conspiracy to set the convict up for a fall.

Yes what actually happened here Kym? Seems kinda strange. Did they make it up, the three? Is it a Smear job, for payback? However, the end result of getting arrested might get him some help soon…. If he can be helped.
Moral of the story here….just don’t do drugs… most of the charges he has been arrested for are drug related.
