CHEHALIS – A pair of teenagers accused of stealing a half dozen guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition from a Mossyrock resident who was out of town have pleaded not guilty to multiple charges related to a week-end long crime spree.

Eighteen-year-olds Anthony S. Depuisaye-Greene his girlfriend Dezarai B. Johnson are being held in the Lewis County Jail on bails of $250,000 and $150,000 respectively.

Police believe the pair and a 17-year-old girl burglarized a home on the 200 block of Court Street repeatedly beginning Friday July 22.

Charging documents and Mossyrock police allege the girls acted as lookouts while Depuisaye-Greene crawled through an upstairs window that was open and removed from its hinges a door to a secured room where some of the firearms were stored.

Depuisaye-Greene also allegedly stole a $3,000 diamond ring from a residence on East State Street, not far from the home where he had been staying.

The 18-year-olds fled in a stolen Toyota RAVE to Sequim, where Johnson lives, according to charging documents.

Johnson and Depuisaye-Greene were picked up by police in a convenience store east of Sequim and arrested without incident on July 25. The 17-year-old female was arrested in Mossyrock the day before.

Along with the six loaded pistols, other items stolen included a Bulova watch, gold dollars and several knives, according to charging documents.

One of the guns and the Toyota were recovered in Sequim. Police were told the ring was pawned in Chehalis, according to charging documents.

The 18-year-olds appeared in Lewis County Superior Court on Thursday and pleaded not guilty to the numerous charges.

A trial was scheduled for Depuisaye-Greene the week of September 26. A date has not yet been set for Johnson’s trial.
