KID CRIME
• As deputies investigated a recent string of Vader car prowls they came upon a pair of brothers yesterday who allegedly admitted to a burglary three weeks earlier in which someone kicked in the door of a vacation home on Sixth Street and made off with a rifle, 30 bottles of expensive wine and numerous other valuables. The boys, ages 13 and 16, were arrested and booked yesterday into the Lewis County Juvenile Detention Center for first-degree burglary, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies are looking for a 15-year-old who may also be connected to the break-in, according to the sheriff’s office.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
• A 36-year-old Vader man was arrested yesterday afternoon for second-degree assault after he allegedly choked his girlfriend at their Vader home. Shane A. Chancellor was booked into the Lewis County Jail, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. However, prosecutors are referring the case down to Lewis County District Court with a charge of fourth-degree assault. Detective Sgt. Dusty Breen said he didn’t know the specifics of this case but noted the distinction between misdemeanor and a felony assault when it comes to these types of cases is if a person’s breathing is interfered with.
LOST AND FOUND
• A Chehalis woman who discovered from FedEx they accidentally delivered her package to a residence across town called police yesterday and got her package back. It was an iPhone valued at $419, according to the Chehalis Police Department. The individual who signed for it at the wrong address said they thought it was for an upstairs tenant, but was warned by an officer it was a bad idea to sign for something that was not meant for them, according to police.
• A person called 911 about 11 a.m. yesterday to say they’d captured a friendly ferret which had been running loose near their business on the 200 block of Southwest Ninth Street in Chehalis. An animal control officer retrieved the animal and took it to the shelter, according to the Chehalis Police Department.
MAN GOES TO SHERIFF’S OFFICE, GETS BOOKED
• A 25-year-old homeless man who went to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office yesterday to register as a sex offender was arrested because he has reportedly been residing in the county for a month, which is beyond the deadline of three business days in which to register after a move, according to the sheriff’s office. Trevor T. Calabrese was previously registered as living in Thurston County, according to the sheriff’ office.
AND MORE
• And as usual, other incidents such as arrests for warrants, shoplifting, violation of protection order; responses for alarms, possibly drunk driver, disturbance; complaints of a seemingly homeless person who peed in a corner behind a building, a male in a parking lot digging through the garbage … and more.
