By Sharyn  L. Decker

A Chehalis couple was arrested allegedly fleeing an armed robbery of a store in Tumwater last night.

Police say a male entered the Southend Grocery on the 6400 block of Capitol Boulevard Southeast and pointed a firearm at a 46-year-old woman who works there and demanded cash.

Officers called at 9:52 p.m. learned the male left on foot, but got into a vehicle driven by a female. The suspects were stopped on southbound Interstate 5 and the male ran away but was subsequently found in a wooded area, according to the Tumwater Police Department.

The two were arrested for first-degree robbery and booked into the Nisqually Jail, according to Tumwater detective Jennifer Kolb.

They are identified as husband and wife Gary Bafford, 54, and Genaveve Webb, 40, both of Chehalis.

    Wow…way to stay on track with the robbery! Wonder if dude pulled the first st job…? Ok, back to your stupidity lurky, free Willy, and troy boy…

    Get rid of the ephedra or shut the fuck up. It would have been simple 35 years ago but it is still doable. America should be ashamed in the FACT that the pharmaceutical industry has’nt come up with a replacement for ephedra like compounds.

    You know nothing about me.
    I helped build your penny playground in Chehalis.
    I participated in the ACS relay for life half a dozen times or so.
    Purchased cooked and served food at Community house
    supported the hospice down south (they are a little more progressive). Hundreds of items on that list.

    I’m sick and tired of the self righteous rednecks on here who think it is OK to MURDER sick people. GO FUCK YOURSELVES!!!

    Troy
    I take back the twisted dude comment.
    Instead it appears that you are a twisted dude who has issues with the truth. I believe you have lots if friends in law enforcement. I also believe it is part of the reason you have issues with the truth. PIGS LIE!

  6. A Lurker says:

    OMG Really? says: HE WAS NOT SHOT OVER A BURRITO…HE PULLED A GUN ON A POLICE OFFICER !!!

    That is nonsense. If the Burrito hadn’t been made, the victim wouldn’t have been shot. He was shot as the result of the theft of a burrito. Did you observe the incident? Do you know the details?

  7. A Lurker says:

    GuiltyBystander says: “Someone being killed for a burrito and YOU applaud his death” from Wednesday at 6:37 am? 4:35am any better?

  8. Troy Houghtaling, Sr. says:

    Lets get this straight. I was not applauding any ones death. I was applauding the great training that the officers dog was given and how good he protected his partner. Now if the so called dead guy put himself in that position to be shot so be it. Anyone should know you don’t pull a gun on a police officer or any weapon in that fact or anyone else that legal to pack a gun. As for the dog being trained and what not if Officer Murphy from Centralia Police trained him you did a great job and I hope all your dog training turns out as good. As for the names of the police offices that I know, well I don’t think this site has enough room on it for all of their names.
    Oh I don’t have to hide behind a nickname ok. Got a problem let me know.

  9. GuiltyBystander says:

    Okay, so how should we interpret “Someone being killed for a burrito and YOU applaud his death” from Wednesday at 6:37 am?

  10. OMG Really? says:

    Let’s put this in a simple and clear way that ” A Lurker says: ”

    HE WAS NOT SHOT OVER A BURRITO…HE PULLED A GUN ON A POLICE OFFICER !!!

    “Someone being killed for a burrito…”

    What twisted pleasure can it possible bring you to keep peddling your line of “fertilizer” in a public forum? Doesn’t the area have enough real problems to deal with without you trying to incite and spread more paranoia? He was shot for pulling a gun, not stealing a burrito, walking across the street, filming a cop or converting oxygen into carbon dioxide. We have yet to read even if this was the guy who stole a burrito.
    All we know is he fought and tried to pull a gun on a cop, then was shot.
    All your twisting of the facts will not change this event or turn him into a saint.

  12. GuiltyBystander says:

    So then the cop should’ve just let this guy go ahead and shoot him because he couldn’t help it? Seriously? What was the cop supposed to do? What would YOU have done in the same situation?

  13. A Lurker says:

    For those of you who feel that addicts and the mentally ill really have a choice in their actions, 35 + years of personal observation lead me to believe you are full of shit!

  14. GuiltyBystander says:

    I doubt if it’ll be much help, I Left. The thing is, I’m willing to believe most of the same people who bash the cops every chance they get, even the cops defending themselves from nutjobs who pull guns on them (or was that burrito loaded?), would be the first to complain if these same cops didn’t do enough on their behalf if a nutjob pulled a gun on them…or broke into their apartment…or stole their grow op plants…or vandalized their car…or punched them at a bar…

  15. I left says:

    Really? Shot for a burrito? Now it is on youtube that way. I understand you anarchists want to be able to lead your lives drinking, using drugs, taking whatever you see from others and so on. However, if that is the lifestyle you want to live, you have to take some chances, such as a neighbor shooting you when you storm into his yard, a cop shooting you when you pull a knife or gun or a good long term in jail or prison when a combination of cop, prosecutor, jury and judge object to your not quite so innocent activities. You can keep up the attacks on the sheriff, the Centralia police and others charged with enforcing the law, but the fact is you are low life scum who deserve much more than what you get.

    People like a lurker are why I will remain anonymous to all except Sharyn. Lurker, you can tell who law enforcement are, they have uniforms and the vehicles with the red and blue lights. Refrain from criminal activities in their presence and in the presence of armed citizens. I hope that helps.

    Troy N. Houghtaling Sr. says: Real name not hiding behind a fake nick name…. Thanks for the info.

    Troy N. Houghtaling Sr. also says: and the good o’ boy got a big soup bone for his protection of his partner.

    Anyone who derives pleasure from the death of another is one twisted dude. Someone being killed for a burrito and YOU applaud his death. Since you seem to know lots of law enforcement and birds of a feather flock together, please post all members of law enforcement you know so I will have a better understanding of who to steer clear of. Hitler tried to eradicate Jews for the good of his nation. Were trying to eradicate sick people and I really don’t think history will look favorably on us for that action.

  17. Troy N. Houghtaling Sr. says:

    Someone will be on here saying it was a set up and the cops was in the wrong just like the shooting in Centralia. Lets see who does it first.

    Real name not hiding behind a fake nick name….

    Another pair of stellar citizens taken off the streets by the good guys. Hope they see the inside of a cell for a long time.
