DRIVER FEARING TICKET INVITES FELONY ARREST
• A 19-year-old Bucoda resident in a 1994 Honda who led multiple police cars on a pursuit along country roads from Morton to Chehalis yesterday said he fled because he didn’t have car insurance and was afraid a Morton police car was going to pull him over. The chase ended when sheriff’s detectives set out “spike strips” and the car ran into a ditch at Coal Creek Road, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. No one was hurt. Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown it began about 1:20 p.m. and speeds ranged from 65 mph to 85 mph along state Route 508 and Centralia-Alpha Road. Morton Police Chief Dan Mortensen said he was behind the car near Fifth Street when all of the sudden it accelerated and drove through two stop signs. Mortensen said he wasn’t intending to stop the driver, until that point. Tylor A. Jorden was arrested without incident and booked into the Lewis County Jail for attempted eluding. Jorden also told law officers he wanted to get his passenger home safely, Brown said. The only damage was to his tire, she said.
DRIVER RUNS INTO PROPANE TRUCK
• A 21-year-old Centralia resident was cited for numerous offenses when they pulled out of a driveway and collided with a propane truck on the 200 block of Maurin Road in Chehalis late last night. Nobody was injured but it damaged the passenger side rear fender of the 2003 Freightliner and the front fender-bumper area of the Centralian’s vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office. The 21-year-old had no insurance, driver’s license or vehicle registration, Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown said.
PHYSICAL DISPUTE IN VADER LANDS TWO IN TROUBLE
• A 43-year-old Vader man who was punched repeatedly in the face by another man helping some people kick him out of his home was arrested late last night for unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of a stolen firearm, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. Anthony L. Davis, 43, of Vader, was booked into the Lewis County Jail, according to the sheriff’s office. Kyle E. Rogers, 31, who either lives in Winlock or stays at the home on C Street where the incident occurred, was said by witnesses to be carrying a 45 caliber pistol, but hid it outside the house and left before deputies arrived, according to Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown. When deputies found the gun, its hammer was pulled back, it had one round in the chamber and five rounds in the magazine, Brown said. The sheriff’s office is referring a case of misdemeanor assault against Rogers to the prosecutor, according to Brown. Davis was not armed during the fight, but because he is a convicted felon, he cannot be in the same house as a firearm, Brown said. Brown added that Davis’s former address is near Lincoln County, Missouri where the gun was stolen several years ago.
KID ALTERCATION ON BUS
• Chehalis police were called yesterday evening about an 8-year-old boy getting hit by two other boys on a school bus, leaving him with a black eye.

Gary Wilson said. “It’s going to be settled by parents,” he said.

• Sometime between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. yesterday someone entered through an unlocked door and went upstairs at a 70-year-old woman’s home on the 700 block of Barnes Drive in Toledo and left with an Xbox game, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.

thank u scooter girl. maybe some time across a knee would have changed these kids.
OMG….unfortunately, had the driver tried to discipline the other kids, it’s highly likely that one or more of the parents would have sued the driver claiming they assaulted their precious little darlings! That’s the unfortunate truth of our society right now.
LIKE AN ANIMAL……..PUT THEM IN A ZOO !! I AM SO FRUSTRATED BY THE DRIVER DOING NOTHING TO PROTECT THIS KID. THE CHEHALIS SCHOOL DISRICT ISN’T DOING ANYTHING EITHER. I AM SURE SOME TIME IN GREEN HILL OR SCRUBBING TOILETS WILL TEACH THESE BOYS A LESSON.

NOW WOULD U LIKE TO KNOW THE TRUTH? IT WAS 3 KIDS AND THE POOR KID HAD BRUISING ON HIS LEGS A BLACK EYE AND THE STUPID BUS DRIVER DID NOTHING!!!!! THE DRIVER TOLD HIM TO GO TELL HIS PARENTS. I ONLY HOPE THAT HIS PARENTS GO AFTER THE OTHER THREE KIDS PARENTS AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT ASSAULT IS. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE AT ANY AGE. IF YOUR KID IS GOING TO ACT LIEK AN ANIMAL, PUT HIM IN A ZOO!!
One can only hope those intelligence jeans will not make it to the next generation. That’s just too dumb to be behind the wheel of anything with an engine!
