UNKNOWN INTRUDER CHEHALIS
• Chehalis police were called about 11:15 a.m. yesterday after a woman in a tanning bed inside what was an other-wise unoccupied building heard someone jiggle the door and then found the front door lock had been damaged by a heavy object. She said she yelled and heard someone leave and that the individual possibly drove away in a van, according to the Chehalis Police Department. Arriving officers checked the building at the 1000 block of Northwest State Avenue and put out an “attempt to locate” on a suspect vehicle, according to police.
ASSAULT WITH VAN
• A 29-year-old Chehalis woman was arrested for second-degree assault after a run-in with another woman at Estep Road in Napavine on Friday night. Police were called and told she was possibly intoxicated in a parking lot and repeatedly speeding up toward another vehicle and then braking, and at one point hitting the rear corner panel and causing minor damage, according to charging documents. The occupant of the other other vehicle, Jennifer Hedge, told a Napavine police officer she opened the passenger side door of the Chehalis woman’s blue van, removed the keys and threw them, because she thought she was intoxicated, the documents state. Christina Palomares allegedly got out and began punching Hedge and when she got back in her van, turned the wheels to the right, causing Hedge to fall and roll away. Palomares reportedly drove away and was pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy. As he attempted to place her under arrest, she struggled, according to the documents. Palomares reportedly yelled, kicked at the patrol vehicle and began hitting her head against against the partition threatening to harm un-named individuals. At the jail she was cooperative and was booked. She was charged today in Lewis County Superior Court with second-degree assault, fourth-degree assault and resisting arrest. Defense attorney Joely O’Rourke told the judge her client was employed there at the gas station at exit 71, until this incident. O’Rourke also noted Palomares is a protected person in a second-degree assault case, somehow related to Friday’s events, and it appeared the facts might come out somewhat differently in this case. Bail was set at $10,000.

Of course you have a right to state your opinion, Bo, but publicly advocating the execution of a police officer for treason is a little different from posting a yard sign supporting a political candidate.
I just love a good joke. Bo is such a jokster. He can’t actually believe that he didn’t deserve to be treated even worse than he was in lewis county. If anyone should feel unwelcome in lewis county it should be Bo.
Well then if it applies to them it applies to me to then. Look how poorly the county treated me for exercising my first amendment right.
No way I would vote for Sanders but the First Amendment applies to his supporters too, Bo.
I know exactly who is vandalizing the Bernie Sanders signs. And I have to say that I am damn proud of them. Any of his supporters need to be made to feel unwelcome in Lewis County. We must oppress the communists!!!!!
