The (Aberdeen) Daily World reports an investigation is underway in connection with an incident in which a Rochester man tangled with the owner of the Westport Winery, beginning possibly with his son urinating behind the building and ending with a pistol drawn.
News reporter Brionna Friedrich writes Derek Johnson of Rochester, his son, Drew Johnson of Tumwater, and the son’s girlfriend Rickie Lehto stopped at the winery after clam digging on Sunday afternoon; that deputies were called by its owners, one of whom displayed a firearm.
Kim Roberts in a prepared statement claimed they were trespassers who tried to run Blain Roberts over prompting the former Spokane County Sheriff’s Office reserve deputy to raise his firearm in self defense, but none of the parties wanted to pursue charges, according to Friedrich.
The Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office is investigating.
