In 2019, Officer Jacob Jones was hired by the Willits Police Department despite leaving the Eureka Police Department under a cloud of misconduct. Mendocino County District Attorney David Eyster placed Jones on the Brady list, indicating concerns about his credibility, which prevented prosecutors from using him as a witness in court proceedings. Eyster publicly criticized the Willits Police Chief for withholding background information on Jones during the hiring process.([theava.com](https://theava.com/archives/210853?utm_source=openai))
