From the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office:
Twenty-nine-year-old Daniel Raymond Aubrey was sentenced today to serve one
year in jail and was given a three-year formal probation term by Judge Kelly Neel after
Aubrey pled guilty on May 5 to two felonies: attempted carjacking of a Eureka resident
and battery on a peace officer with infliction of great bodily injury; and a misdemeanor
battery charge.
Aubrey.
The convictions stem from events of October 8, 2020, when Aubrey, while under
the influence of methamphetamine, attempted to push the female driver of a van parked
outside the Courthouse Market on 4th Street in Eureka.
The passenger successfully
thwarted his attempts and pulled Aubrey outside the van. Another citizen flagged down
EPD Officer White, who was able to intervene as Aubrey made a second attempt to
steal the van, during which Aubrey punched the driver twice in the face. After a brief
struggle, Aubrey fled but was apprehended by officers. Aubrey violently resisted and bit
Officer White’s right index finger causing significant injury.
Aubrey faced a maximum 9-year prison sentence and Deputy District Attorney
Jessica Acosta argued he should be sent to prison for his violent crimes. Aubrey was
represented by Deputy Public Defender Adrian Kamada.
