An Arcata man was arrested by the Cal Poly Humboldt University Police Department for attempted kidnapping, false imprisonment and disorderly conduct of a CPH student on April 19 around 4 p.m.

The suspect Michael Nilsson, 53 years old, was arrested at the scene on St. Louis Road in Arcata after officers spoke with both parties. Nilsson was transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility with a bail set at $75,000.

The university sent out a campus wide email detailing the incident on April 20 at 12 p.m.

“While en route to the victim’s residence hall, the suspect abruptly turned the vehicle around and began driving at a high rate of speed. Fearing for their safety, the victim attempted to exit the moving vehicle,” the press release said. “The suspect grabbed the back of the victim’s shirt and ordered the victim back into the car. After a brief struggle, the victim managed to escape by falling out of the moving vehicle and then fled on foot. The suspect pursued the victim on foot until officers arrived and intervened.”

This is an ongoing investigation as of April 20 at 7:00 p.m.

Cal Poly Humboldt has maintained its status as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) for 12 years in a row, but the percentage of Latine students is slowly declining over the last few years. Latine faculty tenure-line positions are steady and Latine lecturer numbers are increasing, according to university research.

CPH’s Institutional Research, Analytics and Reporting department (IRAR) released their enrollment demographic data for fall 2025. The annual public report details statistics among the student population like ethnicity and race, gender, region of origin and class levels. IRAR data reports Latine students as self-identified “Hispanic or Latino.”

Cal Poly Humboldt graduate student Richard “Rick” Toledo, a student activist, was arrested for alleged charges that occurred during the Feb. 27 sit-in of the Goodwin Forum in Nelson Hall East. The charges included suspicion of felony assault, battery, false imprisonment and conspiracy. He was held in Humboldt County Jail from March 6-8 under a Ramey Warrant before being released on bail.

In addition to his criminal case, Toledo is also facing suspension by Cal Poly Humboldt and a separate restraining order was filed by Cal Poly Humboldt, which is being represented by Samuel Kim, the Deputy Attorney General. The restraining order case has been dismissed and El Leñador confirmed the dismissal after Toledo provided the request for dismissal signed by both parties.

On March 26, Toledo attended an interim suspension appeal hearing. He is scheduled to have another university disciplinary hearing on April 8.

* Update: New information about the date of Rick Toledo’s additional disciplinary hearing was added to the story since it was originally printed.
