Adna shotgun dispute details remain a mystery

CHEHALIS – It’s still unclear exactly what happened yesterday morning outside an Adna gas station where law enforcement officers were summoned with a report of someone firing a shotgun.

Nobody’s talking.

Two or possibly three vehicles were involved but fled the scene, at the 76 gas station at state Route 6 and Highway 603, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.

A gray Jeep Cherokee was stopped on state Route 6 at milepost 38, and three people were questioned, but they just said they heard a gunshot as they pulled into the store and left because they were scared, Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown said.

“There were some issues with their story,” Brown said.

A subject who was spotted hiding from deputies on the other side of the Chehalis River east of the store was finally detained around 3 p.m., but he said he was avoiding law enforcement because he was wanted on a warrant, according to Brown.

No shotgun was found.

Robert R. Ogilve, 42, from Pacific County, was booked into the Lewis County Jail, on the warrant from the state Department of Corrections, according to the sheriff’s office. For unknown reasons, he had shed his pants, according to Brown.

“Basically, he said there was a dispute, there was a gunshot, he didn’t know what it was about,” Brown said.

The sheriff’s office believes everyone involved is from Pacific County. None of the people contacted were very forthcoming with information, Brown said.

The sheriff’s office will continue to investigate because, “We obviously are not going to ignore someone firing a shot or pulling a shotgun out in a dispute,” Browns said.
