• A 49-year-old man was jailed this morning after he reportedly drove through the Centralia Police Department parking lot, threw a carton of eggs at a patrol car and dared an officer to follow him. According to police, an officer turned on his light and sirens, got behind Steven M. Fullerton on West Main Street, but Fullerton refused to stop; instead traveling the speed limit with his flashers turned on. When Fullerton increased his speed to 60 mph on Harrison Avenue and ran a red light during the morning commute, the pursuit was terminated, according to the Centralia Police Department. A trooper stopped Fullerton on Interstate 5 near Maytown, and the 49-year-old was booked into the Lewis County Jail for eluding, according to police.

Sounds more to me like she is boning the guy and trying to defend him . . . but who knows? If he is related to Alan Estep, then he is most likely a real asshole, because Alan is one of the biggest jerks I have ever known.
@Toria – are you trying to say that Mr. Estop isn’t a very nice guy, and yet keeps getting a slap on the wrist?
