Two men are jailed after they reportedly thought it would be funny to scare guests at a friend’s birthday party by driving by and firing several shots from a 22 caliber pistol outside Centralia.
It happened around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday at the 1700 block of Big Hanaford Road east of town, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.
Chief Deputy Stacy Brown says two of the victims, men in their late 20s, jumped in their vehicle and gave chase and one of the suspects fired off several more rounds.
They turned down Blue Road, a dead end, and arriving police and deputies took the suspects out their vehicle and into custody, according to Brown.
Nobody was hurt and it doesn’t appear anything was struck with the bullets, according to Brown.
Booked into the Lewis County Jail for first-degree assault and for drive by shooting were the driver, Edward A. Butterworth, 29, and the passenger, Ronald L. Orr, 26, according to the sheriff’s office.
They are both from Centralia, she said.

Thanks for being the clear-headed one, Anita. Who among us hasn’t fired a few rounds of live ammo toward a friend’s party from a car at 1:30AM?
You know what I can personally speak on behalf of Ron Orr, he is a good well mannered respectful man. What ever happen it isn’t for any of us to judge. As for as Sharyn Decker, just because a police report states something isn’t always how things go down, the police lie just to, So people until this is gone through the courts don’t past judgement. it very well could be you. as for all those that said stupid, I can only say I feel sorry for you, you must of been called that as a child, or call your own that, stop and think you don’t have the whole story! Trust me Ron Orr don’t deserve this nor his family.
29 and 26? A little old for stupid pranks. Prison time will grow you up.
Nice job of ruining your lives geniusus!
Next time think before you do something stupid like this and you won’t end up in jail.
How does that go? “Stupid is as stupid does”
Here, hold my beer. Now watch this!
