Chriss W. Street herby requests Shasta County Supervisors join in a referral to the Shasta
County Grand Jury to investigate racism in the recruitment of a Shasta County Executive
Officer (“CEO”)
1
in a scheme to allegedly hide known public corruption.
Chriss Street is informed, believes and alleges the following:
During final Shasta County CEO interviews with a group of Shasta County department
heads, Chriss Street was asked about his ethnicity and answered Hispanic. Street
called Shasta County recruitment agent WBCP and told its President Wendi Brown2 he
was not seeking any racial advantage from his Hispanic ethnicity and that the question
was potential for bias. Ms. Brown acknowledged all other Shasta County CEO finalist
ethnicity was not questioned, but stated there was no bias or reason for concern.
Ms. Brown knew or should have known Shasta County was blocking release of an Ellis
& Makus LLP investigative report that threatened to expose racial animus and potential
corruption by Shasta County Assistant CEO Eric Magrini during his tenure as Shasta
County Sheriff. Sheriff Magrini’s practices from December 2019 to February 2021 were
so repugnant, Sheriff’s Administration Association and Shasta County Deputy Sheriff’s
Association both for the first time both issued Sheriff Magrini letters of “No Confidence.”

I believe the organized resistance I ran into was racially motivated.
Magrini and Rickert knew the first day, first thing I would do was review litigation. They had to be concerned a Hispanic would not continue to conceal the Sgt. Jose Gonzalez sacrificial lamb scheme. The meant I would also learn that Motty’s infamous access to his house during the Carr Fire was a “101 Special.” That would have led me to look at all the Magrini 101s and discover that Supervisor Rickert supposedly got hundreds of “101 Specials.”
Ask any Patrol Deputy Sheriff and they will confirm “101 Specials” were top priority and took them out of service. Each “101 Special” is misappropriation of public funds law is covered under California Penal Code Section 424, punishable by up to 4 years in jail or prison, fines of up to $10,000.00, and permanent disqualification to hold public office. https://law.justia.com/codes/california/2021/code-pen/part-1/title-12/section-424/
Here is Captain Kropholler’s complaint regarding Gonzalez
Here are the stats that roughly estimate each Sheriff Magrini “101 Special” costs close to $700 per call.
