— Delores Reeves, a Fortuna real estate agent and businesswoman, has been charged with defrauding old folks of several hundred thousand dollars, the T-S‘s Matt Drange reports.

— Longtime Humboldt ne’er-do-well and would-be murderer Michael Alan Coen was sentenced to 21 years for shooting a Fortuna man in the chest while the latter was asleep in his bed, the T-S‘s Thad Greenson reports. Coen was originally charged with attempted murder but pleaded guilty to lesser offenses; he could be released in 10 years. [My misreading: Thanks to LoCO superfan “TG” for the correction.]
