ATTEMPTED ESCAPE FROM THE LAW BRINGS SEARCH PLANE

• A 35-year-old Centralia man wanted for absconding from probation drew a large police response after he allegedly rammed two law enforcement vehicles that tried to hem him in yesterday at the 2200 block of Cooks Hill Road in Centralia. Members of the Joint Narcotics Enforcement Team in conjunction with a community response unit from the state Department of Corrections were conducting surveillance around 10:30 a.m. at a location they believed Guadalupe J. Aguirre to be and after he left the residence, tried to stop him by blocking him in with their vehicles, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. He reportedly rammed two of the vehicles and drove off. The sheriff’s office said Aguirre departed from his vehicle at the 500 block of Lincoln Creek Road and fled on foot. Other members of the sheriff’s office, the state patrol and the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office, along with a fixed-wing aircraft from WSP responded to track him, according to sheriff’s Cmdr. Dusty Breen. K-9 Axel responded as well and at about 12:45 p.m., Aguirre was located. Breen said the subject began resisting and he and the dog ended up rolling down a hill together. The K-9’s contact with Aguirre resulted in bites in three locations, Breen said. He was cleared medically and subsequently booked into the Lewis County Jail for second-degree assault as well as the felony warrant from DOC for escape from community custody, according to Breen. One of the deputies whose vehicle was hit was checked at the scene for neck, back and shoulder pain, according to the sheriff’s office.

KNOCK, KNOCK: HAND OVER YOUR POT PLANTS PLEASE

• A Lewis County man has been charged with growing marijuana after deputies knocked on his front door and asked about it. Joshua K. Lewis, 41, said he’d intended to get a medical marijuana authorization the very next day, but law enforcement confiscated the 180 plants they found anyway, according to charging documents. The visit to the residence on the 5000 block of Jackson Highway took place in February, and last month prosecutors mailed a summons to Lewis telling him to appear in Lewis County Superior Court yesterday afternoon on the felony charge. He didn’t show up for the hearing. The letter was sent to his last known address, but it came back, so Lewis County Deputy Prosecutor Kevin Nelson got a judge to sign a $5,000 arrest warrant. There were a few larger plants, among those in various states of growth, the documents state. The charge of manufacturing marijuana has a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000, for someone with no previous drug convictions. Court documents say the two deputies at Lewis’s door on Feb. 24 were acting on a tip.

Airbags had deployed. The driver was assessed by personnel with American Medical Response (AMR) and then released, according to Hammer.
