This week we're digging into records the Journal went to court for to find out what went on in the arbitration proceedings following the firing of Sgt. Jason Daniels of the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department. Daniels has been reinstated despite accusations of sexual assault and violations of sexual harassment and conduct rules, including text messages containing racist and sexist slurs. We'll talk about the process, its conclusions and what it means for disciplining officers in the future. We've also got a pair of local theater stories: one on the life and impact of Dell'Arte doyenne Joan Schirle; the other reviewing the Shakespeare send-up Something Rotten! at Cal Poly Humboldt. Hit subscribe for weekly updates on stories from around the county.
