Warrants and charges were filed on Monday in Lewis County Superior Court in the case in which a 46-year-old Chehalis man was beaten in front of his home early on Sept. 20. Charging documents state that following an altercation at a birthday gathering elsewhere, Edu Adsilva Leal, 23, and Gustavo Casmiro-Gomez, 31, showed up at the 1300 block of Southwest Mills Avenue in Chehalis and jumped out of a car. Leal allegedly punched his cousin in the head and when his cousin’s father tried to intervene, Casmiro-Gomez knocked the older man to the ground, according to one witness. The victim was kicked in the face and head repeatedly and viciously and subsequently hospitalized, according to charging documents. Defense attorney Joely O’Rourke told the judge yesterday afternoon that when Leal learned he had a warrant, he called police and showed up of his own accord to court. Judge James Lawler said the fact that Leal was present in court showed him he could allow him to remain free on the unsecured bond. Casmiro-Gomez was arrested on Monday.
