A 20-year-old man whose capture followed a wild police pursuit through south Lewis County in March was sentenced yesterday to 20 years in prison for an Olympia stabbing death.
The Olympian reports Dwight M. Bradsbery pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and related offenses in connection with a drug-fueled knife attack of 29-year-old Nathaniel Ollis, a soldier from Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
Bradsbery, who has been described as transient and living in Olympia, and Trey Nicholas Jones, 20, were arrested March 11 after a three-county police chase [1] that included fireworks, full pop cans other items being tossed from their stolen car. They were taken into custody on Interstate 5 near Kelso.
Jones [2], who grew up in the Winlock area, faces a pending charge of rendering criminal assistance, according to Olympian news reporter Jeremy Pawloski. He reportedly told police he “masterminded” the cleanup at the Lilly Road apartment where the soldier died because he was the smartest one.
