The (Aberdeen) Daily World reports an investigation is underway in connection with an incident in which a Rochester man tangled with the owner of the Westport Winery, beginning possibly with his son urinating behind the building and ending with a pistol drawn.
News reporter Brionna Friedrich writes Derek Johnson of Rochester, his son, Drew Johnson of Tumwater, and the son’s girlfriend Rickie Lehto stopped at the winery after clam digging on Sunday afternoon; that deputies were called by its owners, one of whom displayed a firearm.
Kim Roberts in a prepared statement claimed they were trespassers who tried to run Blain Roberts over prompting the former Spokane County Sheriff’s Office reserve deputy to raise his firearm in self defense, but none of the parties wanted to pursue charges, according to Friedrich.
The Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office is investigating.

Sorry but as a responsible firearm owner if you felt your life was in imminent danger enough to point a firearm at someone then charges should be filed. It makes it seem like it was not such a big deal to you that at one point you thought you were going to run over and pulled your weapon but now no charges? Maybe someone should think about the seriousness of pulling and pointing a firearm at someone. Urinating on the building? really that is a pisser (get it? ha ha)
