CHEHALIS – The 61-year-old Mossyrock man who returned to his home with an ax in violation of a no-contact order – because of a previous hours-long standoff there in which he fired several rounds including after deputies arrived – has been sentenced to two years in jail.
James C. Long
James C. Long was first arrested on April 3 after scaring his girlfriend and her mother out of the home on the 100 block of Naylor Road. Law enforcement officers eventually deployed pepper spray into the residence and SWAT members entered and took him into custody.
Long lived there with his girlfriend.
Charges in that case, all misdemeanors, were handled in Lewis County District Court.
Less than three weeks later, within hours of Long being released from jail, he was arrested after allegedly breaking through the back door of the home, wielding an ax and a screwdriver.
His girlfriend had two friends staying over, one of which intercepted Long and ended up with small cuts and scrapes.
For that, Long was charged in Lewis County Superior Court with felony assault and felony burglary as well as a violation of a court order.
Lewis County Senior Deputy Prosecutor Will Halstead said today they made a deal in that case that gave Long eight months in jail. He made a so-called Alford plea on June 2 to third-degree assault and residential burglary. He simply pleaded guilty to the court order violation.
The Alford plea means he believed if a jury heard the state’s evidence and believed it, they would find him guilty.
On Wednesday, he was sentenced in Lewis County Superior Court to eight months in jail. Halstead said the deal included that the sentence would run concurrently with whatever time he got in the District Court standoff case.
On Wednesday, in Lewis County District Court, the judge gave Long 364 days each for reckless endangerment and third-degree malicious mischief, with the time to run consecutively.
Long was given credit for 81 days already served. He is ordered to have no contact with his girlfriend for 10 years.
Until these cases, he had no criminal convictions.

Another prime example of an adverse reaction to severe Fluoride poisioning, some people are highly allergic to the effects of Fluoride in their water. I suspect he was given the Fluoride without his permission all through school. It effected his Pineal Gland attacked his Thyroid and lowered his IQ causing him to have severe mental issues later on in his life. This poor guy was drugged without his consent and had a severe mental reaction after being given a brain damaging Neuro Toxin all his life. Think it’s not true? How would we ever know if this is true or false. We will never know becsuse Fluoride Victims have no choice to say No. Why because the local water department is drugging the whole community without their consent. What makes me sick is the Sheriff allows mass druggings to continue without the publics consent. Some people are just more sensative to Fluoride and have severe reactions to the deadly Neuro Toxin. Stop mass Fluoridation of the publics water supply without individual consent and prescription. Think Im crazy how can a drug thats supposed to be applied to your teeth be allowed to remain in you’re stomach. After all your tooth paste tube warns you not to swallow it. Fluoride causes people to become criminals becausr of accute reactions in some people.
The anklet would be a good choice as they can test for booze coning out of the skin and i imagine youcan no longer wrap your leg in lunch meat under the device to trick it.
Mean ugly looking old dude. What are the chances that he won’t get drunk and be back at his ex’s residence the day he gets out of jail about 16 months from now. What’s left of his brain seems to be hardwired that way.
Nothing in the article about his sentence including post release alcohol monitoring but an ankle bracelet in this case might have been a good option. Might not prevent him from getting drunk and killing someone, but it could.
What time is the Parade Sharyon do a story on that? Suggestion
Good place for him. You can earn .33 cents an hour and live in a gated community.
