SHERIFF’S OFFICE: BURGLARY SOLVED WITH SECURITY IMAGES

•  Jefferey A. Petrich, 36, of Centralia, already in jail from an incident earlier this week at the 700 block of Salzer Valley Road in Centralia, has now been arrested for an August break-in at another Centralia home, the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office reports this morning. Images from a neighbor’s surveillance camera at the 100 block of Tri-Mountain Lane showed a male and Petrich’s vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office. Missing in that case was an estimated $500 worth of jewelry, Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown said.

FROM THE COURTHOUSE

• A Winlock resident was arrested yesterday for child molestation after a teenage girl told a friend who told a teacher about something that occurred when she was 9 years old. Centralia police, notified earlier this year, interviewed the now 15-year-old with her mother and then yesterday arrested Dustin L. West in Chehalis, according to authorities. Charging documents state the detective was told the girl’s step-father had a friend over one night who was sleeping or watching television in the living room while everyone else was asleep. The girl said she told West she wasn’t feeling well, and her parents’ bedroom door was locked, so she laid down on the couch with him, where he groped inside her pants and put her hand inside his pants, the documents state.  West, 27, was charged today with first-degree child molestation and remains held in the Lewis County Jail on $100,000 bail. His arraignment is scheduled for Thursday.

COLLISIONS

• Nobody was injured when the driver of a Toyota Prius rear-ended the city of Chehalis animal control officer’s vehicle yesterday morning. The officer was stopped for traffic at State Street and making a right turn onto Chamber of Commerce Way, according to the Chehalis Police Department.

• Three patients were hospitalized after a glancing near head-on collision on Old Highway 99 in Grand Mound yesterday afternoon. Firefighters called about 2:50 p.m. to the scene in front of the Great Wolf Lodge treated one man and two women from a pair of mini vans and transported them to Providence Centralia Hospital, according to West Thurston Regional Fire Authority.
