Please help us welcome Tasheena Egan and Charlie to the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office!

We are excited to welcome Tasheena Egan as our new Victim Service Coordinator and Facility Dog Handler.

Tasheena earned her Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Nevada, Reno and has a strong foundation in crisis response, victim advocacy, and trauma-informed care. As a proud member of the Navajo Nation, she brings valuable cultural perspective and understands the importance of meeting victims where they are. She is committed to ensuring every victim—regardless of their background or circumstances—is treated with dignity, compassion, and respect while helping them navigate the criminal justice system and connecting them with the services and resources they need.

Today also marked an exciting milestone as Charlie officially arrived in Humboldt County and met his new handler, Tasheena, for the very first time. Over the coming weeks, the two will continue their training and build the partnership that will allow Charlie to provide comfort and emotional support to victims, witnesses, and children during interviews, court proceedings, and other difficult moments.

We are thrilled to welcome both Tasheena and Charlie to our team and look forward to the positive impact they will make throughout Humboldt County.

One paw. One child. One moment at a time. 🐾

Charlie is proud to serve children and victims of crime throughout Humboldt County alongside the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office. Whether providing comfort during an interview, helping ease the stress of the courtroom, or simply being a calm presence during difficult moments, Charlie is here to remind every child that they are not alone.

A wagging tail can’t erase what happened, but it can help make the journey a little less frightening. ❤️

June 25, 2026, Edwin J. Garcia was convicted of the 2021 offense of Child Abuse Causing Substantial Bodily Harm. This conviction and the pursuit of justice would not have been possible without the witnesses who came forward, the dedicated investigation by the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, the prosecutor who tried the case, and her legal assistant. The Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office also extends its sincere gratitude to the medical professionals who provided care and treatment to the child. Despite the injuries he suffered, the child is thriving. The defendant is awaiting his sentencing hearing at the detention center.
