BIG GUNS AT BIG RETAILER

• Chehalis police were called by Wal-Mart yesterday afternoon when at least one customer came into the store carrying a military-style rifle. There was no threat, there was no crime but the employee wanted to know whether it was legal or not, according to the Chehalis Police Department. Detective Sgt. Gary Wilson said the employee was told it’s a matter that’s up to the store and up to their policy as to whether they allow it or not. Wilson said he didn’t know the details because he wasn’t there and no report was written. Openly carrying a firearm in public is okay under Washington’s open carry laws, however, he said, it depends on where a person is at since it’s also subject to the rules of the property owner and different governmental jurisdictions have certain prohibitions in certain places.

ASSAULT

• Chehalis police were called yesterday about an assault earlier in the day at Green Hill School for boys that may have involved several individuals. The case is still under investigation, according to the Chehalis Police Department.

• Chehalis police are looking for a man who may have broken his hand when he punched a vehicle window during an encounter with a  female on the 400 block of South Market Boulevard. An officer was called about 11:20 a.m. yesterday because he allegedly also grabbed the female, and there is a protection order in place, according to the Chehalis Police Department.
