The (Aberdeen) Daily World reports a one-time finalist for the position of chief of police in Chehalis has been sentenced to nearly four years in prison for unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Ray Sowers, one of four finalists in Chehalis in 2006, resigned as the police chief in Montesano in 2010 in connection with theft of public money, according to news reporter Corey Morris.
