SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES TURNS UP RUNAWAY TEEN
• A 24-year-old Centralia man was arrested early yesterday morning for possession of methamphetamine and allegedly harboring a minor. A deputy responding about 5:45 a.m. to a suspicious vehicle parked in the area of the 100 block of Pleasant Hill Road west of Chehalis contacted Garrett M. Hadeen-Speer who was in the company of a 14-year-old runaway and subsequently booked Hadeen-Speer into the Lewis County Jail, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.
POLICE: TALL TALE DOESN’T FLY
• A 30-year-old motorist from Glenoma contacted by police for unknown reasons near Stan Hedwall Park in Chehalis yesterday found herself in jail after she allegedly misled an officer, saying she was rushing her passenger to the hospital. The passenger who was bent over as though in severe pain turned out to have an outstanding warrant, according to the Chehalis Police Department. Destiny C. Lloyd, 23, from Chehalis, was booked into the Lewis County Jail for her warrant and making a false statement, according to police. The driver, Nadine A. Lopez, was booked as well, for rendering criminal assistance, driving with a suspended license and also identity theft, according to Officer Linda Bailey. Both cases were declined by prosecutors to municipal court.
AND MORE
• And as usual, other incidents such as arrests for warrants, driving with suspended license; responses for alarms, suspicious circumstances, house egged, two-vehicle non-injury collision on Rush Road; request for help finding a daughter living on the streets; complaint following an argument with a bus driver … and more.

Last I checked, possession of meth (a controlled substance/vusca violation) is a felony, a superior court case……..so WTF!!!
It totally throws up red flags! Lots of meth around. The “runaway” probably was partying too. Maybe the parent(s) can get her some help before she turns into a sad story. Or another tweeker down the road lying cheating and stealing to feed a bad habit. Too young to be doing that stuff!! 🙁
Not one comment on the 14yr old runaway? A 23 yr old tweeker with a 14yr old runaway, at 5:45am, in the middle of nowhere? That throws up all kinds of red flags!! This can’t be good!!
GB sounds like they are on track. Anon sounds like a member of the LCIA.
It means Confidential Informant.
I’m guessing, but I think that means the case was referred to Chehalis Municipal Court instead of Superior Court, where the prosecutor’s office would handle the case. Maybe because they didn’t think the charges rose to Superior Court level and since the arrests happened at Hedwall Park, that’s Chehalis’ jurisdiction.
What does that mean? Both cases declined by prosecutors in district court??? Did they let them go?? :/
