It happened just before 5 p.m. at the 1300 block of Lum Road, when a female opened the car door and grabbed a handbag sitting on the seat, according to the Centralia Police Department. “The teen got out and tried to get the purse back,” Sgt. Kurt Reichert said. The suspect threatened to punch the girl and fled, according to police. The prowler was described only as a white female with dirty blond hair.

TIRE IRON ASSAULT

• The Olympian reports an employee of the Yelm fire department who lives in Bucoda was arrested and booked for allegedly hitting a male in the head with a tire iron on Friday afternoon. News reporter Andy Hobbs writes Lance Casto told detectives he had been drinking at Joe’s Place in Bucoda to celebrate his birthday and had left to go pick up his kids from school when he drove through an alley, saw the two men tearing apart the trailer and confronted them, in part because he thought they stole his daughter’s bicycle a couple of years ago.

INDECENT EXPOSURE

An officer who responded to the area didn’t locate any such activity according to the Chehalis Police Department. “It doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, but the officer went out there and no arrest was made,” detective Sgt. Gary Wilson said.

CHRISTMAS TREE SAFETY TIPS

• By now, if you have a tree decorated indoors, hopefully you’ve got it placed in water and away from any heat sources to keep it from drying out and becoming a fire hazard. The State Fire Marshal’s Office reminds the public it takes only seconds for a tree to ignite and the entire room to become engulfed in flames. Never connect more than three strands of lights sets, and be sure to inspect for frayed wires, bare spots, gaps in the insulation, broken or cracked sockets, and excessive kinking or wear before putting them up, the fire marshal advises. Beware of too many lights on your Christmas tree: Flickering lights, tripped circuit breakers and blown fuses are warning signs that your home’s electrical outlets may be overloaded.

AND MORE

• And as usual, other incidents such as arrests for warrant, shoplifting, misdemeanor assault, driving with suspended license; responses for harassment, disorderly person, suspicious circumstances, collisions on city streets … and more.
