DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, BROKEN BONES
• A 51-year-old man was arrested overnight in the Doty area after a deputy spoke with his girlfriend who had a possible broken wrist and said she had been pushed down a flight of stairs and kicked and punched in the ribs. A deputy was in the area after the woman called 911 and said she was looking for her keys in the river and was injured, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. A motorist picked her up walking along Elk Creek Road, the sheriff’s office reports. A deputy located Ron C. Lusk at a residence and booked him into the Lewis County Jail for second-degree assault and violating a no-contact order, Chief Deputy Stacy Brown said. Brown said the victim’s phone was also thrown in the river and the sheriff’s office would recommend additional charges such as interfering with domestic violence reporting and third-degree malicious mischief. Brown described Lusk as a Kennewick resident but also said he was picked up at his residence in the area. Lusk was charged with all four offenses today and ordered held on $250,000 bail.
THEFT
• An officer was called about 6:35 p.m. yesterday to take a report of the theft of pain medication from the 900 block of North Tower Avenue in Centralia.
• A leaf blower and a pressure washer left outside a building on the 1100 block of South Pearl Street in Centralia were reported stolen yesterday afternoon.
• Centralia police were called yesterday regarding a vehicle prowl that occurred during the previous few days at the 1000 block of Woodland Avenue. The main item missing was paperwork, according to the Centralia Police Department.
DRUGS
• A 22-year-old woman who allegedly decided not to sell heroin to a potential customer, pinned them against a wall with her forearm and told them to never come back – and kept the money, yesterday – was arrested and then charged today with second-degree robbery. The buyer was a police informant. Caitlin M. Allred was also charged for allegedly recently trying to pass off a brown substance as heroin in an alleged sale to a police informant, according to court documents. A judge this afternoon in Lewis County Superior Court set her bail at $25,000. The second charge is called sale of a controlled or counterfeit substance for profit. A third charge for possession of methamphetamine comes from a search of the trailer where yesterday’s incident occurred, and the discovery of pipes and baggies with trace amounts of meth. The allegations don’t indicate where yesterday’s incident occurred, or where the earlier controlled buy happened but show the law enforcement officers in the case are from the Chehalis Police Department and the Centralia Police Department. Jack L. Daniels, 37, also present at the trailer when it was searched was arrested for and subsequently charged with possession of methamphetamine, regarding the residue, according to court documents. His bail was set at $25,000. Charging documents show Allred and Daniels with separate addresses in Winlock.
• Officers were called back to a motel room by a manager yesterday who discovered drugs and a handgun believed to have been left behind after arrests the night before. Leo M. Mitchell, 20, from Olympia, had been arrested out of the room at the 1200 block of Alder Street for possession of a stolen vehicle, according to the Centralia Police Department. Julie L. Gore, age 31, was picked up at the same time for an outstanding warrant, according to police. The investigation is ongoing.
• Two teenage boys allegedly smoking marijuana in a truck while watching football practice at Toledo High School were contacted by a sheriff’s deputy last night. The cases will be forwarded to juvenile prosecutors for charges of possession of marijuana for the 14-year-old and 16-year-old, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.
DANCING IN THE STREET
• A 20-year-old Centralia man was arrested yesterday for the second time in two days for disorderly conduct. It was after 10 o’clock last night when Jacob S. Drury was “dancing down the centerline of the street, in the fog,” Centralia Police Department Sgt. Kurt Reichert said. The officer contacted Drury near the 1400 block of North Pearl Street, which is near Drury’s residence at an apartment complex at Reynolds Avenue for people with challenges, Reichert said. He was booked into the Lewis County Jail.
AND MORE
• And as usual, other incidents such as arrests for warrants, failure to transfer title, driving under the influence, driving with a suspended license; responses for theft, vandalism, harassing phone calls, missing person who subsequently turned up, suspicious circumstances, collision on city street; complaints about fireworks, a house without garbage service, a guy sleeping behind a store … and more.

Hey Soaper. The only people who call informants “Snitches” are people who run on the wrong side of the law. Just saying. As for Caitlin she is either Bruce Jenner or a Drug dealer, oh wait she was booked for what?
Well said centralialinedancingfan
Bobby,
Dirt bags have constitutional rights. Cops can’t just go searching every room they arrest people out of with no cause. I’m guessing the bad stuff was hidden.
So after an arrest in a local motel the officers did not search the room obviously since it sounds like housekeeping found a gun and drugs the next day. OOOOOps.
@Soaper
Amen sir! Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Informants are running wild while Hondas are being stolen just blocks away. The new police crime team is too busy showing off their new MRAP at the home depot. No wonder these crime fighters are the laughing stock.
Sounds to me like this Caitlin girl was getting sick of these idiots continuously bothering her and wanting her to commit an illegal act. If somebody showed up at my place demanding heroin from me I would kick their ass too. I’d imagine most of us would. Sounds a little like entrapment to me, but I’m not exactly clear on the specifics of how that works.
Oh wait…it was a cop (snitch = same thing) pushing her to break the law. Nevermind, that is just fine because those are the levels they have to sink to so they can catch people. God knows that they don’t have enough other resources already. Instead they form an alliance…. No, a brotherhood with this guy who they have recently arrested for drugs. They give him a crash course in how to betray his friends and pass his screw up on to them so he doesn’t have take responsibility for his own actions. Then he completely blows it as an informant and gets roughed up by this girl to top it off….Jesus!
Pain med theft. Your not going to get more from your doctor they hear this line over and over. Keep them in a safe or your pocket.
Lol@the reliable enterprises apartments for “people with challenges” I thought Lewis county was a county for “people with challenges.”
