DOGNAPPING IN PLAIN DAYLIGHT

• Deputies were called about 1:35 p.m. yesterday after an Onalaska man saw two people in a white Ford Ranger pull up to his home, grab his long-haired Chihuahua and then drive away with it. The 14-year-old reddish dog was wearing an Identification tag on its collar and weighs about nine pounds, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. It happened at the 1000 block of Middle Fork Road, according to the sheriff’s office. The value was estimated at $200, according to the sheriff’s office.

SHARING NAKED PICS OF GIRLFRIEND NOT OK

• Brandon L. Jones, 20, was arrested by Chehalis police for allegedly posting a photo of his unclothed 17-year-old girlfriend on Facebook, according to the Chehalis Police Department. An officer took a report early last week and then located Jones on Friday, according to police. The Centralia resident was booked into the Lewis County Jail for distribution of child pornography, detective Sgt. Gary Wilson said. “Anger, was my understanding,” Wilson said as to the motivation for the alleged incident. Jones was charged today in Lewis County Superior Court with three counts of second-degree possession of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct, a class C felony. According to court documents, the teen told an officer she sent Jones photos of her breasts a few months ago, and after they got into an argument, Jones threatened to “expose” her. Jones allegedly told the officer he woke up the following day and could hardly believe what he had done, and told the officer he would likely find a lot more stuff that made that look like nothing. The investigation is ongoing and more information may be revealed from the service of a search warrant upon Facebook, prosecutors wrote in charging documents. A judge agreed to Jones’ release from jail on a $20,000 unsecured bond.
