This afternoon, Humboldt County Superior Court Commissioner Frances K. Greenleaf granted the County of Humboldt an extension on a temporary restraining order against Fortuna resident Aunna Bollman, 41, who was arrested earlier this month for threatening to kill numerous local government officials and their families. There are 55 individuals requesting protection under the restraining order.

During today’s hearing, the court considered a restraining order request from Deputy County Counsel Thomas Chapin on behalf of the County of Humboldt but, because Bollman has yet to obtain an attorney, Commissioner Greenleaf agreed to issue a short continuance on the matter.

Bollman appeared in court, seeming composed and dressed in a navy blue jumpsuit with her blond hair swept up in a ponytail. She explained that she had not had a chance to talk to an attorney since she was arrested on Aug. 3, noting that the Fortuna Police Department has taken her phone at the time of her arrest. 

Several Humboldt County officials appeared in court as well – including Human Resources Director Zachary O’Hanen, Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters Juan Pablo Cervantes, Deputy County Counsel Goldy Berger and Fourth District Supervisor Natalie Arroyo, who was accompanied by her husband, Jason Lopiccolo. None of them spoke during today’s hearing.

Bollmann is scheduled to appear in court on Friday, Sept. 15 for the next hearing on this restraining order. A criminal hearing against Bollman has yet to be scheduled.
