Yesterday a Humboldt County jury found 26-year- old Alexi Greenspan of Arcata guilty of felony
resisting an executive officer causing great bodily injury. This offense is a strike under California
law. The jury also convicted Greenspan of felony battery with serious bodily injury, and felony
battery with injury on a custodial officer.
The crime occurred on April 7, 2017 at the Humboldt County Correctional Facility. While being
re-located within the Facility, inmate Greenspan struck a senior correctional deputy in the face,
causing an orbital fracture with muscle and nerve damage. Testimony and video evidence
presented at the trial showed that correctional officers exhibited a high level of professionalism
during this incident, including respectful treatment of Greenspan before the assault. The injury
required surgery and forced the deputy to miss several weeks of work.
The case was prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Trenton Timm with the assistance of
District Attorney Investigator Gary Cooper. Greenspan will return to court for sentencing by
Judge Feeney on August 3, 2017. He faces a maximum of 6 years in prison.
