OOPS

• Two out-of-towners who came to bail a boyfriend out of the Lewis County Jail on Saturday night found themselves checked in to the lock up facility after a passing patrol car detected their vehicle was stolen. It was shortly after 10 p.m. when the officer’s automatic license plate reader noted a Toyota on Southwest Chehalis Avenue was listed as stolen from Renton, according to detective Sgt. Gary Wilson. Booked for possession of a stolen vehicle were 31-year-old Junette Short, of Tacoma, and 28-year-old Jennifer Ramirez of Renton, Wilson said. The automobile was impounded and items discovered inside have led to an ongoing investigation, according to police.  No charges will be filed pending further investigation.
