• A 25-year-old man looking for his wife was arrested after a rampage in Randle last night that ended near the Nazarene Church where he was reportedly outfitted with a caged baseball mask and beating on the building with a bat, frightening the neighborhood. Deputies who were called about 6 p.m. learned that before he arrived at the church he had been at a nearby home on the 200 block of Silverbrook Road armed with 10-inch long wooden-handled kitchen knife demanding to be let inside. A 15-year-old girl there said he was stabbing the house and when she did not open the door, he left, kicking the family cat as he departed, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. Charles M. Aalmo reportedly fled as he saw deputies arriving, scaling a wooden fence which knocked a section of it over and was subsequently taken into custody, according to the sheriff’s office. Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown said Aalmo and his wife had earlier had an argument, although she didn’t say what it was about. Aalmo was wanted by his probation officer and was arrested and booked into the Lewis County Jail for numerous offenses such as disorderly conduct, malicious mischief and unlawful display of a weapon, Brown said. Among the damage was a shattered electrical box on the side of the church building, according to Brown.
