CHEHALIS – A days-long dispute between residents at a south Chehalis home and 36-year-old Andrew C. Skyberg preceded the early morning incident in which he allegedly fired two shots towards one of them while she was standing on the front porch, according to court papers.
The events just before 3 o’clock in the morning on Friday led to the arrests of two people who reportedly assisted Skyberg afterward and a manhunt that was still ongoing as of this afternoon.
Documents filed in Lewis County Superior Court state that police were told by witnesses Skyberg was on the sidewalk outside the house on the 600 block of Southwest William Avenue when he pointed his handgun in the air and fired off two to three shots then shot twice toward the female victim.
Andrew C. Skyberg, wanted
Callers to 911 reported hearing arguing outside and the sound of gun fire.
The woman was not hurt, but officers recovered one bullet lodged in the wooden front railing and two .380 caliber shell casings on the sidewalk, according to authorities.
Skyberg had reportedly been to the house over the previous few days.
Chehalis police have not disclosed any details related to motive.
Arrested on Friday and charged yesterday in Lewis County Superior Court with first-degree rendering criminal assistance were Bryan K. Butts, 32, and Felicia D. Lane, 28.
Charging documents in their cases suggest that police came to learn Skyberg had been at Lane’s nearby home, became upset, left and then a short time later she heard gun shots.
Lane resides on the 100 block of Southwest Sixth Street. Court documents give the same address for her boyfriend, Butts, although Chehalis police initially described him as Cinebar resident.
Police were told Skyberg then came running back into her home, said he needed a ride out of there and handed Lane a cloth-wrapped object containing a firearm that she hid in her room, according to court documents. Officers recovered a Ruger .380 pistol.
The gun had recently been stolen in a vehicle prowl, according to police.
A detective was told Butts gave Skyberg a ride to McFadden Park.
Yesterday morning, police were told Skyberg was seen around 100 block of Southwest Sixth Street and three schools in the area were locked down while officers from multiple agencies scoured the area.
When Butts and Lane were brought before a judge yesterday afternoon, he set bail for each of them at $100,000. Their arraignments are scheduled for Thursday.

The worst part of all of this is this young lady, Mrs. Felicia D. Lane, could have been alright, had she used just a little bit of her common sense. She cant play dumb. She knew what was going down. Simple as that. But dazed & confused by this lifestyle and thinking she was “ok” due to her roommates “having her back”. Which was never the case at all. I personally have heard of one of her roommates “ganging up on her” trying to basically, verbally, mentally,and, emotionally abuse her out of her own home. I wont name,names cause this monster of a “woman” knows who she is and karma will come to her,and it will come soon. You cant lie, steal and hurt someone(s) and expect to not have karma serve a visit. Tweeker wars this is not. This is the “work” of one evil soul who could care less if she forces someone into taking someone life basically by manipulation of the mind. Crazy to think that what started all of this is still im possession of this evil “woman”, whom now still resides in Mrs. Lanes home.
Just a suggestion Peabody. I used Tom’s fluoride free until my dentist told me how acidic it is – results in acid pools on your teeth. You can brush with a baking soda/water mix to still get the same benefits w/o the fluoride and no acidity.
How about just fresh clean water Crazy ole Man. If they need Lithium or anti depressants Obama care has a nice three month waiting list over at Cascade Mental Health in Centralia. The water needs to remain free of any type of drugs, especially when there not prescribed such a the Drug Fluoride and Fluoride is a drug. Just look at your tooth paste container it says Drug Facts on the back. I prefer Tom’s Fluoride Free, yeah it’s a few bucks more than the poison toothpaste but the health benefits last a life time. Never accept the drugging of the water if you truly care about the health of you’re children . Thyroid problems are off the charts, reason Fluoride poisoning and exposure. Sad do sad, yet everyone wants to joke about it. Pineal Gland calcification, bone cancer and artery disease is not a laughing matter. Demand change now. The CDC is using junk science to dump industrial waste in our water supply. Stand up against this Tyranical Government and call your public water department and tell them to stop poisoning the community.
WTH is it with all these idiots with guns?
That’s funny right there, Tweaker Wars! Problem is they need to be taught how to hit what their aiming at. The accused Turd, Andrew could have been a match winner had he been accurate. Lets hope the next Tweaker Wars participant hits the mark.
They need to add something more than fluoride to the water in Chehalis and Centralia Peabody. Perhaps Lithium is the answer.
Tweeker Wars up next at 11:00 the real life alternative life style of certified Tweekers. You thought Breaking Bad was good, wait until you see the next episode of Lewis County Tweeker Wars. That’s Satire for those that can’t figure it out.
