CHEHALIS – The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office says they would not have arrested the woman who told a deputy she wanted to get clean and get into rehab if she had not reached into her purse and handed over a small baggie of heroin.
Forty-year-old Elizabeth A. Fiedler was booked into the Lewis County Jail and charged the next day with possession of a controlled substance following a 911 call to her home in Onalaska on Feb. 28.
Chief Deputy Dusty Breen initially reported Fiedler called Lewis County dispatch and asked for help, bringing law enforcement to her residence that night. However, a copy of the police incident report indicates it was her boyfriend who called 911.
Fiedler was passed out on the bed with a needle in her arm and he said he called because he did not know what to do, according to the report and charging documents.
The responding deputy wrote she was extremely upset and crying, and said she had relapsed and shot up with heroin. She told him she really wanted his help to get treatment, he wrote.
A second deputy noted in his report that Fiedler told them she knew she had a problem and repeatedly said she needed to go to rehab and needed help.
As she was reaching in to her purse, Deputy Andrew Scrivner told her she did not have to give him anything, according to the report.
Fielder stated, “I know, but its the right thing to do,” Scrivner wrote.
They had no choice at that point but to arrest her, according to Breen.
“Really, for law enforcement if someone presents us with, if they are in possession of an illegal substance, we don’t have another avenue,” Breen said.
The deputies also took in to evidence a silver spoon with brown resin in it they had seen laying on the bed next to her purse, according to the report. A possible charge of possession of drug paraphernalia was referred to prosecutors, according to Breen.
The second deputy wrote that Fiedler was cooperative and compliant during the entire contact.
While the arresting deputy told Fiedler they’d do the best they could to get her into a treatment program so she could continue on have a successful career, and “we’re here for ya,” Breen said the sheriff’s office doesn’t have authority to get someone into drug treatment.
“We don’t have a lot of avenues where we can go with that,” Breen said.
Breen said the only time they can take a person into custody other than a law violation, would be if they were gravely disabled or in danger to themselves, in which case they could be taken to the hospital to talk with a mental health professional.
“Obviously the best thing to do would not be to produce the controlled substance,” he said.
When Fiedler went before a judge the following day, she was allowed release on a $5,000 signature bond. The prosecutor noted to the judge she has no criminal history and was cooperative.
She pleaded not guilty on March 9. Her trial is scheduled for the week of May 22.
Breen said the erroneous information he initially provided to the news media was based on a synopsis of the incident from the deputy that did not contain the same information as the actual incident report.

Wyatt if the general public were to see the material safety data sheet and the skull and bones on the Fluoride bags a huge awaking would begin. Thyroid disorders, artery disease, bone cancers and arthritis are all directly related to consistent Fluoride Toxicity from exposure to consistent Fluoride poisoning from the water supply. The Fluoride is also being absorbed through skin when showering and the steam is also exposing your lungs through the steam. Fluoride is absorbed into your body and accumulates over a life time of consistent intentional poisioning. We cannot continue to allow our youth to be poisioned from the junk science behind the Fluoride deception. You can go to the Centralia City Hall and view these fact sheets yourself from a FOIA request. You will be supplied with copy’s of pictures that expose the Fluoride bags do indeed have skull and bones on the bags that are poisioning our community. The material safety data sheets do indeed disclose the fact that it’s not fit for human consumption. In Harvard Studies Fluoride consumption reduces your IQ and during the early 1900’s it was only labeled as Rodent Poision. I am well researched in this field and you should educate yourself also to protect your loved ones at all costs. Our community is being prescribed a Neurotoxin without individual consent and is a crime against humanity disquised as a dental Benefit for the masses. To educate yourself please go to Fluoride Alert .Org. don’t just take my word for it, research the facts you will realize we are being purposely dumbed down and having our life spans shortened by our Government for the false Benafit of dental care. Think about it, when did you ever get health care for free. Fluoride is poison and the act of prescribing an entire community without individual prescriptions for all is a crime. Challenge our city officials and demand it’s discontinued use on you your family and your children. We have the power to stop this tomorrow. Before you pass me off as crazy research the facts. Your crazy if you don’t. City of Centralia stop poisioning our community.
Peabody how do you suggest the citizens move forward to halt the injection of this dangerous chemical into the water supply? Petition? City council meeting? Sue the city? The water treatment plant? Testing of the water by a reputateable testinng agency then get a search warrant to audit the practices by city water. It really sick to think the city is profiting off utilities that are causing harm and poising people. We do not need fluride in the water to help our teeth. That’s what a toothbrush is for. Lol

As much as it pains me to say it, the cop didn’t really have a choice. Otherwise any time somebody realized that they were cornered by the police with no way out they could just grab their stuff and hand it to them and say they needed help.
People need to realize that if you are involved in drugs the police are not looking (nor are allowed) to do you any favors. Some of them might be sympathetic, but they aren’t your friend. It’s usually nothing personal. That is just how it is. So whenever they tell you “just give us the stuff and we’ll go easy on you” think really hard on it because “going easy” on you does not mean you will be going home that night.
Fluoride is a controlled substance that cannot be purchased in a powdered form by the general public. Centralia’s Fluoride comes with a material data sheet that warns not fit for human consumption. Fluoride is labeled as a drug by the FDA. Go look at your toothpaste label right now, it’s says Drug Facts right on the container. How can one specific Neurotoxin that’s labeled as a drug be appropriate for each and every member of the community. In fact some people don’t even have teeth, so why do they need Fluoride. In fact infants can be poisioned from small doses of Fluoride. Funny how many of you people claim you care about your children and would do anything to keep them safe from predators. Well I see no one in this whole entire community trying to protect their childrens health. I guess you people like it when children grow up and get cancer, Artery Disease, oh and let’s not forget all of the people with Thyroid issues and disease.. Yep Fluoride attacks the Thyroid. The proof is in front of you, yet people want to call me crazy because your drinking a product that has an Image of Skull and Bones on the package…. Do the research Centralia if you really care about your childrens future…
Don’t get mad because I come with the truth that the community is being murdered with a Soft Kill Neurotoxin…
Welfare or Fluoride*
You even read the piece? She reached into her purse and handing an OFFICER OF THE LAW, HEROIN. A Controlled Substance. I imagine after she woke and went hysterical on them for the duration.
The Sheriff says it above that once you show a Controlled Substance in your possession to an Officer of the Law, you go to jail.
Has nothing to do with welfare fluoride
Yet it’s OK to add the drug Fluoride to the water supply without your consent, my consent, and the public’s consent. I myself have filed FOIA’s for the information and the Fluoride bags have Skull and Bones on their labels. I have also requested the Material Data Sheets and these have warnings on them that say not fit for human consumption. People Fluoride is a deadly Neurotoxin and is a Drug that’s being prescribed without a doctors prescription to each individual person in our community. How can a single drug be a cure all for everyone. Think I’m crazy look at your toothpaste container right now, the label says Drug Facts right on the container. Yes Fluoride causes cancer, thyroid disease, artery disease, it attacks your organs and calcifys your brains Pineal Gland. Yet drugging the entire community is legal without individual prescriptions for each dose administered. This is a crime yet our local Sheriff does nothing about the mass drugging and poisioned of children and adults in our community. I am not crazy, you are if you fail to research these facts and claim you care about your childrens health. People Fluoride is Cancerous and is killing you and your family slowly. The police are failing to protect defenseless citizens from be poisioned and taken advantage of by Government Officials. In fact they are failing to uphold the DEA law that requires all drugs to be labeled and prescribed.Research the facts you will see that We are being poisioned without our consent.
Way to go Lewis County Sherrif. What happened to humanity and serving and protecting? Once again, showing that the police department is no longer about helping the citizens. It’s all about the revenue. How sad that there are so few honest to god real police officers out there anymore .
So if you need help your screwed? But if you are a illegal alien ,free pass on welfare fraud , free pass medical fraud , free pass on illegal entry, free pass on tax fraud, so in Lewis co our police, pick what laws they obey , and who gets the fist up the arse! Got to love double standards!! If they can pick what laws they’ll obey ! Why can’t we????
