Bail has been set at $25,000 for an Olympia man accused in a drive by shooting in Oakville over the weekend.
Nobody was injured in the Saturday night incident on South Newton Street, but sheriff’s deputies recovered rounds that hit the home and the pickup truck parked in front of it, according to the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office.
The adult female who lives there was returning home from her neighbor’s when it happened at about 9:30 p.m., said sheriff’s office Chief Criminal Deputy David Pimentel.
Pimentel said today investigators are still trying to determine the reason for the attack. They are looking into the possibility more than one person was involved, he said.
Jason C. Keller, 30, of Olympia, was picked up in Thurston County on Sunday and booked for first-degree assault, according to Pimentel.
Keller was charged with drive-by shooting yesterday in Grays Harbor County District Court for a preliminary hearing, and bail was set at $25,000, Grays Harbor County Prosecutor Steward Menefee said today. Menefee said it’s likely Keller will be charged in Superior Court by July 29.
The woman, whose name Pimentel did not release, lives at the home with an adult male and 6-year-old child, according to the sheriff’s office.
Deputies recovered a firearm they believe was used. They’re not certain how many shots were fired.
“At this point, we’re thinking probably a half dozen,” Pimentel said.
