DRUG BUST
• Chehalis police found a “significant” amount of heroin, more than 200 grams of methamphetamine and several thousand dollars cash when they searched two cars they impounded yesterday morning in Centralia. Two people were arrested for conspiracy to deliver drugs after detectives contacted the occupants of two vehicles they said met up at Plum and Ash streets. Detectives made contact with them, took them into custody and their cars were seized, Sgt. Gary Wilson said. Booked into the Lewis County Jail were Ashley C. Varga, 23, of Chehalis, and Anthony W. Miller, 41, of Centralia, according to Wilson.
MYSTERY ASSAULT
• Police and aid called about 1:45 a.m. today to The Hub tavern in Centralia regarding an assault found a 22-year-old patron lying on his back in the beer garden. When he regained consciousness, he told officers nobody assaulted him, according to the Centralia Police Department. However, a female was overheard saying, “That’s what you get for ‘punking’ my brother,” police said. The victim would not cooperate with police in pursuing the matter, police said.
AUTO THEFT
• A Chehalis police officer was flagged down about 5:40 a.m. today after a car was discovered missing from its driveway on the 1200 block of Northwest Cedar Way. Stolen is a white 1998 Nissan Altima, according to the Chehalis Police Department.
NOT A BREAK-IN
• Chehalis police were called about 10:30 a.m. yesterday regarding a burglary at a home on Northwest Prindle Street in which the caller was moving out from. Police were told a window had been broken out. The report turned out to be unfounded, police said.
AND MORE
• And as usual, other incidents such as arrests for warrants, driving under the influence; responses for minor accidents, alarm, dispute, report of possible inappropriate touching, female seen “passed out” near train tracks; complaint about lewd pictures sent on Facebook, neighbor’s rabbits in a garden … and more.

@ soaper: you’re absolutely 100% spot on.
The federal government has UNLIMITED powers to snoop on everybody and yet we can’t put the REAL cartel runners and organizers in prison.
All we are stuck with is a bunch of local-yokels who were trying to make an easy buck, but all turn snitch at the threat of real prison time.
It makes me f’n sick too. I want to vomit every time they arrest a small timer and the very next day, they bust an “organized ring” so they call it.
While the whole time, the cartels are laughing at the whole charade and facade.
@ Old Long Johnson,
Ya, lets hear it for the snitches. Nothing like sticking up for low lifes that don’t accept responsibility for anything they do. Instead they put all their problems onto somebody else and get to carry on doing the exact illegal activity that the people they just snitched on were doing. If they weren’t such cowards and it was legal to print their names (the snitches) for the public to see I’m sure you would see a list of real winners there. It sickens me to think the cops are in bed with these pukes. The whole informant snitching program needs to go. All it is doing is essentially deputizing bums. Law Enforcement has plenty of resources available to them without having to give snitches a single bit of power.
@ DRUG BUST:
Another couple of scumbags off the street. Gotta give credit to the snitches. If it weren’t for them, cops wouldn’t know what to do!
My sister’s car was stolen last night some time between 9 pm and 11 pm. She lives in chehalis. There was a police report made this morning around 5:30 am. Could you keep us up to date on that?
