Here is a list of the bookings into the Glenn County Jail, with information provided by jail personnel, the Glenn County Sheriff’s log, and the Orland police log. Remember: Everyone accused of a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Tuesday, March 25:
2:13 p.m., Jacob Todd Smith, 54, of Orland, was booked into the Glenn County Jail on a Glenn County Superior Court warrant alleging disobeying a court order (a misdemeanor). Bail was set at $20,000. He was taken into custody at Second and Walker Streets by an Orland police officer.
The Orland Police Department’s log for 2:13 p.m. on March 25, 2025, says only that Orland police officers contacted Jacob Smith, 54, of Orland, on Second Street at Walker Street. Smith was arrested and booked for a misdemeanor Glenn County warrant.
However, according to the Orland Police Department’s logs for July 26, 2023, Autumn Smith, 40, reported her brother, Jacob Smith, 52, had made criminal threats to her. The incident occurred in the 600 block of Second Street.
According to Glenn County Superior Court records, on July 26, 2023, Jacob Todd Smith was charged with making criminal threats (a misdemeanor). On October 10, 2023, he was arraigned. On November 7, 2023, he pled guilty. On December 19, 2023, he was sentenced to three years’ formal (supervised) probation, to end on December 19, 2026. On January 21, 2025, a bench warrant was ordered for violation of probation. And on March 26, 2025, Smith was to be arraigned for failure to appear. On Tuesday, April 1, a hearing is scheduled for admission or denial of violation of probation.
4 p.m., Levi Joshua Byerly, 30, of Orland, was booked into the Glenn County Jail on two Glenn County Superior Court warrants alleging failure to appear on a misdemeanor charge. Total bail was set at $40,000. He was taken into custody at 20 East Yolo Street by an Orland police officer.
The Orland Police Department’s log for 4 p.m. on March 25, 2025, says only that Orland police officers contacted Levi Byerly, 30, of Orland, at 20 East Yolo Street. Byerly was arrested and booked for two misdemeanor Glenn County warrants.
However, police scanner traffic seemed to indicate that Orland police officers initially responded to the East Yolo address after receiving a report of a domestic disturbance there. Byerly was reportedly in the garage, shouting and banging on the walls. Before arriving at the scene, officers were not sure whether they should enter from the street for from the alley just south of the street.
The OPD’s log for November 11, 2024, states that Orland officers contacted Levi Byerly, 30, of Orland, in the 1000 block of South Street. Following an investigation, Byerly was arrested and booked on charges alleging violation of probation, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
According to Glenn County Superior Court records, on November 11, 2024, Byerly was charged with possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia (both misdemeanors). The next day, he was released on his own recognizance. On December 17, 2024, he was scheduled for a mandatory appearance for his arraignment, but was apparently a no-show because a bench warrant was ordered. He was in custody for his arraignment on January 14, 2025, but it appears that he failed to show up for a drug court review on March 4, and another bench warrant was ordered. Following his arrest on March 25, he was scheduled to be arraigned for failure to appear on March 26.
Also, according to the Orland Police Department’s logs, on May 23, 2024, Orland police officers were dispatched to the 20 block of East Yolo Street for a report of a trespass. Following an investigation, Levi Byerly, 29, of Orland, was arrested and booked for allegedly being under the influence of a controlled substance. And, according to the OPD’s logs, on May 30, 2024, Orland officers were dispatched to the 10 block of East Yolo Street for a report of a man looking into the windows of a residence. Officers contacted Levi Byerly, 29, of Orland. During the investigation, Byerly allegedly attempted to flee from officers on foot. He was quickly detained and placed under arrest on charges alleging being under the influence of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and resisting, obstructing, or delaying an officer. Byerly was booked into the Glenn County Jail.
According to Glenn County Superior Court records, after apparently being released on his own recognizance in late May, 2024, he was scheduled for a mandatory appearance for his arraignment on July 16, 2024, but was apparently a no-show because a bench warrant was ordered. (Sound familiar?) He was in custody for his arraignment on August 7, 2024, and he entered a plea of not guilty to all charges (he was not charged in court with resisting, obstructing, or delaying an officer) on August 20, 2024. A diversion review was scheduled for March 18, 2025, but he was apparently a no-show because a bench warrant was ordered. (Again, sound familiar?) Diversion was terminated and criminal proceedings were reinstated. Following his arrest on March 25, he was scheduled to be arraigned for failure to appear on March 26, as with the other case described above.
