Sharyn’s Sirens: Daily police and fire roundup

TWO ARRESTED IN WINLOCK AFTER RAMBLING 911 CALL

• A 911 caller who said people were watching him, people were coming at him with weapons and made mention of seeing a bomb drew law enforcement officers to a home on the 500 block of Southwest First Street in Winlock overnight. When police and deputies arrived about 2:40 a.m., the subject had locked himself in a bedroom, according to the Winlock Police Department. Police Chief Terry Williams said he wasn’t sure what the man wanted, because he wasn’t making a lot of sense. The subject, Michael S. Dziubak, 32, of Pacific Beach, was subsequently taken into custody and booked into the Lewis County Jail for a warrant, according to Williams. Because law enforcement observed a plastic baggie with suspected methamphetamine inside it and a pipe in the bedroom, another resident, Monty E. Hall, 58, was arrested and booked for a violation of the uniform controlled substances act. Hall was to be released without charges pending further investigation.

FRAUD

• Chehalis police are investigating after a  48-year-old Rochester man discovered a bank card from his lost wallet was used to make a $212 purchase at the Safeway grocery store on the 1100 block of South Market Boulevard. The victim said he believed his wallet disappeared last Wednesday at another Chehalis business and when he contacted his bank, he learned it had been used within the hour of going missing, according to the Chehalis Police Department.

FUNNY MONEY

• Chehalis police responded to the Lewis County Treasurer’s Office on Northwest North Street about 10:40 a.m. yesterday about a man paying a bill with what turned out to be a counterfeit $20 bill. He said he’d received it from another local business, according to police. The bill was taken into evidence, according to the Chehalis Police Department.

THEFT OF WIRING

• A 26-year-old Morton resident was arrested for burglary yesterday in connection with a Monday call about suspicious circumstances at the 700 block of Davis Lake Road near Morton. An arriving deputy contacted two men coming from the backyard of a vacant residence who said they had been walking and were resting, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. One of them however dropped a backpack and ran, according to the sheriff’ office. Inside the pack were wire cutting tools and wiring which matched with wiring missing from an outbuilding, according to Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown. Michael D. Kent, 26, was arrested and booked into the Lewis County Jail yesterday, according to Brown. The case involving the other man – believed to be a 29-year-old Morton resident – will be referred to possible charges of burglary, obstruction and possession of stolen property, according to Brown.

DRUGS

• A deputy was called to White Pass High School yesterday afternoon after the acting principal found marijuana in the locker of a 14-year-old student. The teen reportedly said he stole it from his grandfather a month earlier, hid it in his bedroom and then moved it to his locker, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. The case will be referred to juvenile prosecutors for a possible charge of misdemeanor possession of marijuana, according to the sheriff’s office.

VANDALISM

• Chehalis police were called afternoon yesterday to the 600 block of Southeast Dobson Court about two slashed tires on a car.

FIRE UNDER HOUSE

• Firefighters were called to a north Centralia home about 10:10 p.m. yesterday after the smell of smoke awakened the occupants. They found a small electrical fire beneath the modular home, according to Riverside Fire Authority. A main connection had shorted out and dropped onto the plastic vapor barrier, Capt. Tim Adolphsen said. It burned through a plastic water line which extinguished the flames, Adolphsen said. The damage was very minor, he said.

AND MORE

• And as usual, other incidents such as arrests for warrants, violation of protection orders, misdemeanor assault; responses for misdemeanor theft, alarm … and more.

    I watched Monty Hall all through the sixties and seventies. Any of these rathead kids around remember Let’s Make a Deal? To see him come so low just makes me sick.
