POLICE: INTOXICATED MOTORIST CRASHES THROUGH BUILDING
• A 21-year-old Chehalis resident was arrested for DUI after a pickup truck plowed through a vacant building in Centralia last night. Police and aid were called about midnight to a curve in the road where Main Street changes to Harrison Avenue. The 2012 Toyota Tacoma came to rest in a parking lot behind the wood structure described as a detached garage, according to authorities. Police said the driver ran away from the accident but was apprehended nearby. Marcos A. Navarrete was taken to the hospital with minor injuries and then booked into the Lewis County Jail for driving under the influence as well as hit and run, according to the Centralia Police Department.
SHOPLIFTING SPIRITS
• Police were called just after 3 p.m. yesterday about a woman trying to steal a bottle of liquor from a retailer on the 500 block of South Tower Avenue in Centralia. Donna L. Brown. 61, was arrested for third-degree theft and then released, according to the Centralia Police Department.
VEHICLE PROWL
• Police were called about a car prowl about 10:30 a.m. yesterday at the 1000 block of South Pearl Street in Centralia. A stereo was stolen sometime overnight, according to the Centralia Police Department.
DRUGS
• A 27-year-old Mossyrock woman was arrested yesterday for possession of methamphetamine and several outstanding warrants, according to police. Jessie M. Hindman Glendenning was booked into the Lewis County Jail following her contact with an officer about 2 p.m. at the 300 block of North Railroad Avenue in Centralia, according to the Centralia Police Department.
RESIDENTIAL FIRE IN MINERAL TAKES FAMILY’S HOME
• Fire investigator Ted McCarty said its unlikely he’ll be able to find the cause of a Thursday night fire in Mineral that destroyed a manufactured home and adjacent barn. The family came home about 8:30 p.m. and noticed the windows appeared black, McCarty said. When they opened the door to go in, that must have allowed enough oxygen to cause it to flare up, he said. It happened on the 500 block of Mineral Hill Road. Nobody was hurt, but they lost a few baby chicks, according to McCarty.

Just saw this, Donna Brown is my ex-mother in-law. Yeah, she’s an idiot. She’s never known better, probably at any age. Definitely has issues! Glad to be rid of her (a few fries short of a Happy Meal)!!
its ok.. steal away.. catch away… get the theives off the damn streets!
you would think at 61 ya might know better!
First day and the theft of liquor has begun. This is only the start. Wait until teens get out of school, it’s going to be a free for all. Great job voters and Costco! Now our stretched police department has to deal with a new kind of theft that we haven’t had to deal with.
We’ll probably hear of a few more, too, before all is said and done.
Well that sure didn’t take long for some IDIOT to attempt to steal a bottle!
