GUNPOINT ARREST AT SAFEWAY

• A 37-year-old Chehalis man with a warrant was arrested at gunpoint yesterday afternoon in the parking lot at Safeway on South Market Boulevard. Jacob Woods was wanted by the state Department of Corrections and was spotted about 5:15 p.m. by an off-duty officer who knew he was wanted, according to the Chehalis Police Department. Because he has an assaultive and violent history, he was ordered to the ground and taken into custody, Chehalis detective Sgt. Brian Hickey said. Woods was booked into the Lewis County Jail.

PUNCHING COURTHOUSE WALL DRAWS POLICE

• Police and deputies were called to the third floor of the Lewis County Courthouse just before 5 p.m. yesterday after an upset 19-year-old Centralia man punched a hole in a wall. He was angry because he wasn’t allowed to give his mother a hug after she was sentenced to incarceration, Chehalis detective Sgt. Brian Hickey said. He was not arrested. The case will be forwarded to the city attorney for evaluation of a possible charge of third-degree malicious mischief, according to Hickey.

IDENTITY THEFT

• The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office reports a 76-year-old Centralia-area man called to report someone used his credit card number in Chehalis, California and Texas to make several purchases last month totaling more than $2,000. The victim still has possession of the card so someone must have “skimmed” the number off it at some point, according to the sheriff’s office. There is no suspect information, Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown said.

WRECK

• One man was taken to Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia yesterday after a two-vehicle collision at Old Highway 9 and James Road in Grand Mound. Aid called early yesterday afternoon to the scene of the wreck between a passenger car and pickup truck said another man was uninjured and a third was treated at the scene. The car sustained substantial damage, according to West Thurston Regional Fire Authority. Further details were not readily available.
