CHEHALIS – Trial is set for September for four individuals charged with second-degree robbery for a Centralia incident authorities alleged involved a ruse to obtain heroin that resulted in a struggle inside a car with bear spray and a box cutter.
The suspects are: Andrea Parker, 34, of Chehalis; Jon Parker, 32, transient; Robert Plasencia, 29, Napavine; and Kiana J. DeLaRosa, 18, of Chehalis.
“The allegation is the set up of a drug deal,” Lewis County Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor Brad Meagher told the judge when their bail was addressed. “We’ve had people get really hurt in this county on drug deals.”
The bail hearing was held last week. Judge Richard Brosey set bail at $50,000 for three of the defendants. He made it $25,000 for DeLaRosa, who has no criminal history.
Police got involved when they were called to the 1600 block of North Scheuber Road in Centralia at about 6:45 a.m. on Saturday, July 30
Early information was a purse and backpack were stolen after a threat with a knife.
The two victims, a male and a female, told of a request to get some heroin for DeLaRosa who claimed to be “drug sick.”
Charging documents go on to describe when they arrived, DeLaRosa got into the backseat of the car, reached forward and took the keys from the ignition.
The three other suspects allegedly came out of the residence and DeLaRosa told them the victims had stolen $100 from her.
Another one got into the back seat and began fighting with the male victim who was sprayed, and the victim later admitted taking a box cutter to a suspect.
The two victims both called 911 and the Parkers allegedly admitted to finding a small amount of heroin in the bags and using it.
They all were given court appointed attorneys. Their arraignments were all scheduled for last week. The trial is set for the week of Sept. 19.

We need more playground supervisors and detention facilities to stop the drug problem. Lol Farming out people to private prisons owned by politions and corporations, bankrupting our country even further. You say flush them. I say force them into a work or starve scenario. It’s called survival. They will need to work their ass off just to eat. Food stamp program makes the drug problem worse. More time to screw around and find addiction because they have no job or really don’t need one to get fed.
Pillars of the community these four. Flush all four of the turds.
