DOMESTIC DISPUTE
• A Thurston County resident reported she was assaulted by her husband last night as they were driving along Harrison Avenue through Centralia, according to the Centralia Police Department. Since her statement was given to a Thurston deputy after she arrived home, local police don’t yet have information about the incident, according to a department spokesperson.
BURGLARY
• A deputy took a report yesterday of a theft of approximately $3,000 worth of valuables from a residence at the 1000 block of U.S. Highway 12 in Ethel. Among the items taken sometime since the day before were a generator, an air compressor, a television and an empty guns safe, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.
TRAIN PROWL
• Chehalis police were called about 4:30 p.m. yesterday to the area at Northwest West Street and State Avenue where someone tried to steal the batteries from a caboose. A heavy-gauge cable was cut, the compartment was left open and the large container of batteries was removed but left behind, likely because it was very heavy, according to police.
DRUGS
• An 18-year-old Toledo resident was arrested for possession of methamphetamine about 5 o’clock today after a traffic stop in which he was found to be driving with a suspended license. An officer contacting Tavryn L. Lindsey turned up a smoking device under the driver’s seat, according to the Chehalis Police Department. He was booked into the Lewis County Jail, according to police.
VEHICLE VERSUS BUILDING
• Centralia police say they were called about 4:20 p.m. yesterday to the 1200 block of Alder Street after a pickup truck hit a building. A department spokesperson said he didn’t think anyone was hurt and didn’t know anything further because the information was not filed in their regular reports.
WRECK
• Police and firefighters were called about 6 p.m. yesterday to a motorcycle accident at the 2600 block of North Pearl Street in Centralia in which the driver sustained what was described as minor road rash and an ankle injury.
WILDFIRE HELP FOR EASTERN WASH.
• One firefighter from Lewis County Fire District 5 took a water tender to Eastern Washington last night to help fight one of the wildfires burning over there and two others who had been there since last week were almost home when they were redeployed to the fire in Twisp, according to District 5 Firefighter Maria Kennedy. Two more firefighters left yesterday from West Thurston Regional Fire Authority, joining others from the south Thurston County fire department already in Eastern Washington. The Toledo Fire Department has two units over there as well.
AND MORE
• And as usual, other incidents such as arrests for warrants, driving under the influence; responses for disputes, hit and run, collision on city street, misdemeanor theft, dog locked inside parked vehicle … and more.
