Sharyn’s Sirens: Daily police and fire roundup

Updated at 8:02 p.m.

CANNABIS COOKING OIL KITCHEN SHUT DOWN

• Centralia Police Department’s special anti-crime officers visited a home on the 700 block of Sky Meadows Drive yesterday afternoon where they confiscated an ounce of butane hash oil, an ounce of hallucinogenic (psilocybin)  mushroom and nearly four pounds of marijuana. Officers served a search warrant about 2:30 p.m. and arrested the 25-year-old resident for manufacturing a controlled substance, according to police. Sgt. Carl Buster said as he understands it, the oil results from a newer processing style to make the hash more concentrated and useable for cooking products that will get a person high. It’s dangerous too, Buster said, and that’s what they were doing there. Logan P. Rodgers was booked into the Lewis County Jail, according to the Centralia Police Department.

FRAUD

• Centralia police were called yesterday morning to the 500 block of East Magnolia Street where they learned someone had taken out a loan using the victim’s social security number. The case is under investigation, according to the Centralia Police Department.

SPECIAL (UN) DELIVERY

• Some stole a box left by UPS on a front porch at the the 800 block of G Street in Centralia, according to a report made to police late yesterday afternoon.

OTHER THEFT

• Centralia police were called about 5:30 p.m. yesterday to take a report of the theft of a purse an individual had left on a gas pump at the 1200 block of Mellen Street.

DRUGS

• Chehalis police were called to the drug and alcohol rehabilitation center on Southeast Washington Avenue on Monday afternoon to a report a client was caught smoking marijuana in the bathroom. They were told basically it isn’t a criminal issue, its a policy issue for them to deal with, according to the Chehalis Police Department.

• An officer was called just after 8 p.m. on Monday to ABHS treatment center again when a new client arrived with drugs in his luggage. Police took the individual and the small amount of black tar-like substance, according to the Chehalis Police Department. Matthew A. Perron, 34, was booked into the Lewis County Jail for possession of heroin, according to police.

VANDALISM

• Chehalis police took more calls on Monday about vehicles getting “egged” in the areas of St. Helen’s Avenue  and Northeast Washington Avenue.

GHOST DRIVER

• Chehalis police responded yesterday morning to a report from a woman in her 70s who said someone took her vehicle from the 100 block of Southwest Fifth Street during the night and then returned it. She said she knew that because they put 43 miles on the odometer and it wasn’t the first time it had occurred; it had been going on for some time, according to the Chehalis Police Department. There was no evidence to indicate such a situation had occurred, according to police.

CLOSE CALL

• A 68-year-old Rochester man was arrested for driving under the influence after his pickup truck veered off Harrison Avenue and one tire rolled up a wheelchair ramp entrance to a building, flipping the truck onto its side in the parking lot yesterday afternoon. Police and aid called about 2:30 p.m. found two males, neither with any serious injuries. “He went off the road, crossed a sidewalk, through the bushes, through the lot and onto the ramp,” Sgt. Carl Buster said. It happened on the 1200 block of Harrison, destroying the hand railing but only making slight contact with the building itself, according to Riverside Fire Authority. James L. Christensen was cited and then released, according to police.

AND MORE

• And as usual, other incidents such as arrests for warrants, misdemeanor assault; responses for alarm, possible theft, disorderly persons, collision on city street, harassing text messages, violation of protection order… and more.

    “Police Department’s special anti-crime officers” I thought that they were all “anti-crime”! Or are they anti- “special” crimes? New names for old roles…. does it make them work any better?
