MOM, CHILD, ESCAPE SERIOUS INJURY IN WRECK

• A 41-year-old Chehalis area mother was arrested last night after the pickup truck in which her 6-year-old son was a passenger rolled and landed in a field some 100 feet off the roadway west of Chehalis. Carrie A. Knighten suffered minor cuts and bruises but refused care, according to responders. The child was transported by AMR to Providence Centralia Hospital with what appeared to be minor injuries, according to Riverside Fire Authority. Firefighters called about 8:10 p.m. to the 1200 block of Bunker Creek Road found the vehicle in its side with both occupants still inside it, Fire Capt. Erik Olson reports. Both had been wearing seat belts. The driver told a deputy her wheels left the roadway and she must have over corrected, causing the vehicle to start sliding and then flip over, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. Knighten was arrested and booked into the Lewis County Jail for vehicular assault and the case is also being referred for a DUI, according to the sheriff’s office.

THREE ESCAPE SERIOUS INJURY IN WRECK

• Chehalis police were called about 9:50 a.m. yesterday for a wreck on the 300 block of Southwest Riverside Drive that left a sport utility vehicle on its side and its three occupants walking away. One passenger was hiding in the brush in the water, but came out, perhaps because of the cold, police said. None were seriously injured and the driver was cited for reckless driving and driving with a suspended license, Deputy Chief Randy Kaut said. Based on the skid marks, she had been traveling quite fast, Kaut said. The vehicle was described as totaled.

MAN ESCAPES SERIOUS INJURY IN WRECK

• A 46-year-old Onalaska man was arrested last night after he allegedly sped past a deputy on Middle Fork Road, sped up when the deputy tried to pull him over and then lost control of his truck and crashed off the roadway. It began just before 8 p.m. near Birchfield Parkway and ended near Krueger Road,  according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. Darren S. Carmen was immediately detained and booked into the Lewis County Jail for eluding, according to the sheriff’s office. The case will be referred for possible charges of third-degree driving with a suspended license and driving without a required interlock device, Chief Deputy Stacy Brown said. The 2007 Chevrolet Silverado was totaled, Brown said.

CARGO TRAILER MISSING

• Chehalis police were called just before 11 o’clock yesterday morning to Northeast Division Street where a cargo trailer had been stolen from behind the residence during the night. The 2004 trailer contained kitchen appliances and was taken sometime after 8 p.m. the night before, according to the Chehalis Police Department.

CAMPING FUN STOLEN

• The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office took a report of more than $10,000 worth of property stolen from out of a storage container on the 100 block of Hadaller Road near Mossyrock on Tuesday, that occurred sometime during the previous five days. Taken in the break-in were a 12-foot aluminum boat, a Quad, a Honda three-horsepower boat motor, camping equipment and tools, according to the sheriff’s office.

DOG GONE

• Centralia police were called about 3:20 p.m. yesterday to a report a puppy chained up in its front yard had been stolen. An officer arriving to the 600 block of K Street learned the owner of the Dachshund-Chihuahua mix had seen it about 20 minutes earlier, but went back outside and discovered it gone, according to the Centralia Police Department. It was wearing a green harness but had no tag and is more likely just missing, according to police.

DRUGS

• A 29-year-old man was arrested for a drug violation when police discovered suspected controlled substances during a search when he was contacted about a warrant last night in Centralia. An officer saw Jeff D. Prindle about 8:50 p.m. at the 700 block of South Tower Avenue and knew he was wanted on a misdemeanor warrant, according to the Centralia Police Department. Prindle was booked into the Lewis County Jail, according to police.

FIRE IN A FIELD

• Eight firefighters responded last night when a fire broke out in a recently cut hay field on Middle Fork Road in Onalaska, near St. Lawrence Drive. “We put it out in about five minutes, it didn’t damage anything,” Lewis County Fire District 1 Chief Andrew Martin said. They were called at 8:50 p.m. by an individual who said they’d heard a loud pop, Martin said. It was kept to an area of about 60 feet by 30 feet, he said. They weren’t able to confirm what ignited the fire, but did find what looked to be the ball from a Roman candle firework in the scorched area, he said.

AND MORE

• And as usual, other incidents such as arrests for warrants, trespassing, misdemeanor assault, malicious mischief, minor in possession of alcohol, driving under the influence, driving with suspended license; responses for alarm, dispute, vandalism, collisions on city streets … and more.
