The City of Eureka has retained Bay Area law firm Sacks, Rickets and Case to conduct an independent investigation into a series of violent, misogynist and racist text messages allegedly sent by EPD officers, including Sgt. Rodrigo Reyna-Sanchez and Officer Mark Meftah.
An agreement on file with the city shows that the firm, which has offices in San Francisco, San Diego, Palo Alto and Phoenix, Ariz., was hired on March 19, just two days after a story in the
Sacramento Beerevealed the demeaning messages allegedly exchanged by Reyna-Sanchez and Meftah, if not others within their squad.
