SPECIAL DELIVERY BY POLICE: A BABY

• Centralia police responded to a report of an apparent verbal dispute yesterday but instead found a screaming pregnant woman in labor. As officers were enroute about 12:25 p.m. to the home on West Roanoke at Ahlers Avenue, they were told by the 911 caller his neighbor woman had come outside onto he front lawn and it turned out she was shouting because she was about to give birth, according to police. She was home alone, Sgt. Carl Buster said. The two male officers sped up and when they arrived, tried to stall her until the ambulance showed up, to no avail, according to Buster. The infant’s head had already “crowned” so they helped her to the ground and assisted with the delivery, he said. “One little push, and he was out,” Buster said. Aid then arrived and took the mother and infant to Providence Centralia Hospital. They were doing fine as far as he knew, Fire Capt. Erik Olson said. It’s a boy.
