CHEHALIS – Police believe a 27-year-old man fired a shot from a gas station parking lot at a passing vehicle on Main Street, which missed but may have lodged in a building across the street early yesterday morning in Chehalis.
Officers were called to the report of a shooting about 3:20 a.m. yesterday, located the suspect truck and stopped it at the 400 block of North Market Boulevard, according to the Chehalis Police Department.
Department spokesperson Linda Bailey said the motive is unclear but police are interviewing the occupants of the targeted vehicle and have arrested the passenger of the suspect vehicle.
He is Matthew W. Harader, age 27, of Centralia, according to police. He was booked into the Lewis County Jail for first-degree assault and for possession of methamphetamine.
The driver of the truck he was in, an adult male, was not arrested, Bailey said.
Officers believe Harder fired from the parking lot of the 76 gas station at the 600 block of Main Street, according to Bailey. No injuries were reported, according to Bailey.
The case is still under investigation, but Harder is tentatively scheduled to go before a judge this afternoon to face criminal charges.
No but firearms and alcohol went together and also cocaine was in Coke a Cola and liquid morphine was avalible at any drug store. So the forefathers were pretty much impaired and packing heat. I must say Alcohol is probably one of the worse drugs there is, yet you can buy it anywhere. Detoxing from alcohol can cause seizures and even death.
Not going by Any picture Annoyed….read!
I agree with folks about the fore fathers but they certainly would not have agreed that the firearm and meth go together.
Oh you can tell by a Facebook picture whether or not somebody is qualified to own a firearm? Typical.

Good thing our fore fathers secured that right and it’s not up to you or winlocks own liberal judge Brosey.
Go to his facebook page and his wife’s and see if this is someone that should have a gun.
