LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS KICKED BY SUSPECT

• Two deputies were kicked and scraped up but eventually able to take a man into custody after a 6:30 p.m. yesterday call about him making threats at the 400 block of Collins Road outside Toledo. While enroute, deputies were advised a dispute was underway, with possibly gun shots fired, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. Once inside the home where Darrell R. Jackson resides with his parents, deputies tried to talk him in to coming out, but Jackson reached to an open desk drawer, prompting at attempt to Taser him, according to the sheriff’s office. Chief Deputy Stacy Brown said the Taser had no effect because of Jackson’s bulky coat and a fight ensued in which one deputy was kicked in the chest three times. Another deputy also deployed a Taser and that deputy was also kicked, Brown said. Jackson, 26, was ultimately detained and then booked into the Lewis County Jail for two counts of third-degree assault, resisting arrest and an outstanding warrant, according to Brown. Brown said they didn’t believe any shots were actually fired. According to charging documents filed today in Lewis County Superior Court, before he was handcuffed, Jackson grabbed a bottle of prescription medication and swallowed approximately 20 to 30 pills so he was taken to the emergency room at Providence Centralia Hospital to be treated for an overdose before he was taken to the jail. His bail this afternoon was set at $50,000.

BREAK-IN CENTRALIA

• Centralia police were called about 3:45 p.m. yesterday regarding a burglary at a business on the 200 block of North Tower Avenue. Paperwork was stolen, according to the Centralia Police Department.

DOMESTIC THREATS

• A 28-year-old man was arrested early yesterday in connection with an incident a week ago in which he allegedly tried to steal a part off a piece of equipment in his step-father’s yard and when he was questioned, suggested he would blow their house up if they called police. According to charging documents, Dominic L. Combs was at the location on the 800 block of South Gold Street last Monday in violation of a protection order. Combs was charged today in Lewis County Superior Court with second-degree burglary, harassment and two counts of intimidating a witness. His bail was set at $25,000. His temporary defense attorney indicated the former Centralia resident resides in Longview.

DRUGS

• Chehalis police were called about 1:30 p.m. yesterday to a report that a client arrived at the treatment center at the 500 block of Southeast Washington Avenue with drugs. Brandon E. Zanger, 35, from Lake Stevens, was arrested and booked into the Lewis County Jail for a violation of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act, according to the Chehalis Police Department.

ASSAULT SUSPECT ARRESTED

• Bail was set at $10,000 yesterday for a 31-year-old Chehalis resident Gustavo Casmiro-Gomez, charged with second-degree assault for his alleged role in the beating of a man early on the morning of Sept. 20 at the 1300 block of Southwest Mills Street in Chehalis. Casmiro-Gomez was arrested on Monday and charges filed the same day in Lewis County Superior Court. Charging documents state he and another man were asked to leave a birthday gathering and subsequently showed up on Mills Street and allegedly attacked “an old man.” The victim lost consciousness, suffered a concussion and had facial disfigurement, according to court papers. An arrest warrant was issued on Monday for the second suspect.

MOLESTATION ALLEGATIONS ARISE

• A 29-year-old Centralia man who turned himself in after learning from the sheriff’s office Facebook page he was wanted on a warrant appeared in court this afternoon out-of-custody, charged with three counts of first-degree child molestation. Robert L. Brash was ordered to wear a monitoring device and is allowed release pending trial on a $50,000 unsecured bond. Charges filed Feb. 3 in Lewis County Superior Court state that a now-retired detective was contacted by the Okeechobee (Florida) Police Department where two young girls said Brash had touched their “privates” when they resided in Onalaska during the summer and early autumn of 2013. The alleged victims were 6 and 8 years old and at least one is related to Brash, according to the documents.

    What would be more effective are body cameras. Once citizens see their actions on video it would be hard to dispute the charges. Body cameras would save tax payers millions in legal challenges due to overwhelming evidence. Also the use od Tazers in some situations dont work as they should, tasers have been known to kill. Good ol fashion bear mace is one powerful tool. I have deployed it against a bear attack during a hunting trip. One powerful shot to the face of any attacker and its party over. Even the user is slightly affected, By its over spray. Lets just get some body cameras here in this County Snaza, it will protect both sides of any legal disruption. Like they say if you have nothing to hide then why worry…. Until then drink your daily dose of Fluoride Lewis County its good for your teeth…

    It seems that the effectiveness of tasers never have lived up to their advertised efficiency.
