Sharyn’s Sirens: Daily police and fire roundup

INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT

• Firefighters were called to the mine at TransAlta near Centralia yesterday when a worker somehow got sprayed by sulfuric acid on his neck and arms, according to Riverside Fire Authority. He had been wearing face protection and was already in the shower when the crew arrived, according to Firefighter Terry Ternan. “I don’t know what they use it for out there,” Ternan said. They have tanks of it. His skin was red but he had no blistering, and he was transported by ambulance to Providence Centralia Hospital, according to the fire department.

FRAUD

• Centralia police took a report yesterday afternoon from the 1100 block of South Schueber Road regarding someone stealing money from an individual through a phony phone loan scam. Further details were not readily  available.

THEFT

• Police were called yesterday morning regarding appliances stolen from a residence on the 200 block of West Oakview Avenue in Centralia which has been repossessed by the bank.

DRUGS

• A 25-year-old Centralia man was arrested for possession of methamphetamine after contact with police about 4:15 a.m. today at the 1100 block of Long Road, according to the Centralia Police Department. Chad E. Holmes was booked into the Lewis County jail, according to police.

• Robert D. LaChance, 51, Randle, was arrested for possession and delivery of methamphetamine yesterday in the Morton area by the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. Sgt. Rob Snaza said the arrest followed on ongoing investigation. Arrested at the same time for possession of meth was Bryan W. Olson, according to Snaza. LaChance was among several people rounded up by deputies in the Randle area in early June and was already facing delivery charges.

AND MORE

• And as usual, other incidents such as arrests for warrants; responses for alarms, minor-injury collisions, suspicious activity, disputes, stolen bicycles, other misdemeanor theft, protection order violation; inquiry about family member who forgot to pay for some grocery items and was escorted by store security and made to sign a form charging her money for alleged theft; complaints of man seen urinating by a dumpster behind a building … and more.

    “I don’t know what they use it for out there,” Ternan said.

    That’s a useful quote.
