DOMESTIC INCIDENT

• A 54-year-old man was arrested on Saturday night for allegedly threatening to kill his wife and their dog. A deputy dispatched at 7:50 p.m. to the 100 block of Slalom Way in Packwood contacted the 53-year-old woman by phone, who said to hurry because her husband had kicked the dog and was going to kill her, and then the line went dead, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. Upon arrival, at 8:38 p.m., the woman was uninjured and Mark A. Murdock was detained, according to the sheriff’s office. Chief Deputy Stacy Brown said Murdock resisted, and once placed in the patrol vehicle, kicked the deputy in the chest, thighs and knees. Murdock was booked into the Lewis County Jail for felony harassment as well as third-degree assault, Brown said.

SPIT IN FACE

• A 26-year-old inmate at the Lewis County Jail allegedly spit on a corrections officer’s face as he was being served dinner last night.

Callahan was arrested for first-degree burglary, according to the Chehalis Police Department. When Callahan was brought before a judge today, prosecutors said the victim is Callahan’s former employer. Deputy Prosecutor Kevin Nelson told the judge police were this afternoon conducting a search of the former Onalaska resident’s home off state Route 6 and the state had reason to suspect Callahan may be involved in other burglaries. He was charged with second-degree burglary and third-degree malicious mischief, as well as three other offenses not related to this weekend’s incident. Callahan was charged with theft of a firearm associated with an AR-15, with possessing a stolen firearm, and also with third-degree possession of stolen property. Charging documents offer no details regarding the allegations on the last three counts, but police say the AR15 was one of three guns stolen in a burglary at the business in early spring. His bail was set at $50,000.

    Deputy Gallagher died when he hit an elk when responding to a dispute between this Packwood couple and their neighbor 5 years ago. Many in the community blamed both parties for causing the deputy’s death.

    I know the Mark as a nice guy. I think that he has finally just snapped. He is the identified crazy person but then there is the really crazy person. Libel keeps me from naming that lady.

    I know, I seen his actions again on Sirens this is one pissed off dude maybe he needs a hug or Maybe he just needs some good ole Fluorine based anti depressants to get him in a cheerful mood before he see’s the judge. Im sure the jail has an excellent mental health program and a well trained staff. After all the out patient mental health system has a two month waiting list, and when you finally get in you dont even see a real doctor because their so back logged. The mental health system has let us down in America…
