State Attorney General Declines to Pursue Charges After Investigation of Humboldt County Coroner-Public Administrator’s Office
The Humboldt County Coroner responded to the report of a dead body in 2016.
Press release from the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office :
On November 23, 2020, the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office received a letter (attached) from the State Attorney General (AG), indicating the AG will not pursue charges following their investigation into the prior conduct of the former Humboldt County Coroner-Public Administrator’s Office. The need for an investigation arose in June 2017, when Humboldt County officials received an unsigned letter questioning the way the Coroner-Public Administrator had disposed of property belonging to deceased persons. In July 2017, the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office requested assistance from the FBI, with the idea that the FBI’s experience with public corruption cases and available resources might lead to an effective and timely investigation. Also in July 2017, the Humboldt County District Attorney requested the State AG take the case due to possible perception of a conflict of interest. The FBI declined to be involved, but the State AG agreed in August 2017 to assume the investigation and any subsequent prosecution.

Surprise, surprise. WHAT A JOKE!
Do they still call it the justice system? Why?
If you are the sheriff or the coroner, the job comes with a license to steal.
Don’t forget MET
Nothing to see here. Please move along.
Self investigation will turn up those results
AG is not the sheriff’s department smart one…… maybe you are in need of some self investigation to figure out why you need to comment with out any reading comprehension!
Truth is that there was a county policy that could easily lead to fraud. Employees took advantage of it as would almost any employee of any place. The county likely permited it because it was an easy way to dispose of property that was in the way without a lot of paperwork or effort. That they did it without due process was wrong but not something that someone specific could be charged in a court. Hopefully not to be a problem again.
Yep, no law against good’ole boy type of transactions of unclaimed deceased estate property. It’s just slimey as fuck! Kinda expect it from law enforcement it’s their M.O. why I call them [edit]s and treat them like they are.
Scumbags
