TEEN BOOKED FOR TAKING FOOD CARD BY FORCE FROM GRANDMA
• A 17-year-old Centralia boy was arrested after throwing a temper tantrum and allegedly assaulting his grandmother in trying to get an EBT card yesterday. Police were called about 1:20 p.m. to the home on the 1100 block of South Tower Avenue where they were told he threw a coffee table breaking it after his grandma told him he couldn’t have the card, and shoved her to the ground to get her purse, according to the Centralia Police Department. Officer John Panco said the teen took the large wooden table leg and swung it at her, and then slammed it to the floor next to head. He used the leg to hit the TV screen on his way out the door, taking a chunk out of it, Panco said. “The grandma did not know much more than he just wanted the food card,” Panco said. Officers found the 17-year-old near Burger King and booked him into the Lewis County Juvenile Detention Center for second-degree robbery and second-degree assault, according to police.

All inmate facilities will do a in house investigation on the matter to see if it warrants a call to the police. If it is bad enough such as death it they are called immediately.
They do report it on in a timely manner. Guess the police have more importent tasks to tend to. Perhaps you need to do a little research on the student population at GHTS Bobbi???
Okay I do not understand this Green Hill thing. Several articles about assaults on staff being reported days later. Come on people if you take these things seriously maybe the “student-inmates” will too. If you are going to report them then do so right after they happen.
