A resident who said he served as the jury foreman in a recent local trial told the Mount Shasta City Council on Oct. 31 that he had been harassed during jury deliberations and again after the trial and urged the city to seek more transparency and accountability for first responders.

The resident described viewing body-camera footage during the trial and said the prosecutor was Steven Goldsberry and the defendant was Justin Dunwavy. He said the incident involved Russell Dunwavy being "brought to the ground in his own living room" and that the jury ultimately reached an acquittal. "It was a 12 jury acquittal, we all agreed," the speaker said.

The commenter said two suit-wearing individuals he identified as law enforcement entered the courtroom while jurors were deliberating and later he experienced what he described as increased vehicular activity near his home. "I was harassed the next day after with vehicular traffic around my house. Law enforcement and vehicular traffic. I was very scared when I left the file. I almost didn't wanna serve on the jury again," the resident said.

The speaker concluded by asking for an investigation and for "more transparency, more accountability for our first responders," and thanked the council. Mayor Redmond moved on to other public comment after the speaker finished; the council did not announce any formal follow-up or action during the meeting.

Details the speaker provided about the trial—including the prosecutor and names mentioned—were presented during public comment and the council did not document formal findings or an investigation directive at that time.
