ATTEMPTED CRAIGSLIST FRAUD
• Centralia police said they’ve received numerous reports of properties in the Centralia area being listed for rent online on Craigslist in which an unauthorized person has been trying to collect personal information from prospective renters. Members of the public should be mindful of the fake advertisements and make sure to confirm any person soliciting renters is authorized to do so, police advise.
BURGLARY
• Centralia police were called to the 900 block of Goff Street at 10:40 a.m. yesterday where multiple items have been stolen from a garage within the previous couple weeks. The case is under investigation, according to the Centralia Police Department.
CAR PROWL
• Chehalis police were called to the 1500 block of Northwest Louisiana Avenue about 9:45 a.m. yesterday where they took a report of an overnight vehicle prowl in which a jacket was taken and a fuel line was cut.
ON THE ROAD, OFF THE ROAD
• Deputies dispatched at about 2:15 a.m. today for a wreck in which a car struck a power pole in Packwood – breaking the pole nearly in half about halfway up – found the Honda Civic partially wrapped around the case of the pole and resting in the westbound ditch. It happened in the area of the 300 block of Cannon Road and the 26-year-old driver suffered multiple injuries to his face and body, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. The driver, Kyler M. Calderon, was transported to Morton General Hospital, according to the sheriff’s office. Calderon allegedly admitted to drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana, sheriff’s Chief Deputy Bruce Kimsey said. Deputies applied for a search warrant for blood, and expect Calderon to be charged by prosecutors with driving under the influence, but due to the nature of his injuries, the Packwood resident was not booked into the Lewis County Jail, according to Kimsey.
AND MORE
• And, as usual, other incidents such as arrests for warrants, third-degree theft, driving under the influence, driving with no license, protection order violation, driving with suspended license, fourth-degree domestic assault; responses for alarm, dispute, civil issue, vehicle collision, suspicious circumstances and more among 109 calls for local law enforcement and / or fire-emergency medical services in the 24-hour period ending about 7 a.m. today.
