EQUIPMENT IN INDUSTRIAL PARK CATCHES FIRE

• Lewis County Fire District 6 and the Chehalis Fire Department responded to a small fire in the Chehalis Industrial Park yesterday morning. District 6 Firefighter Mike Goodwillie said workers at Mohawk Industries on Downie Road had mostly doused the flames that were inside a piece of equipment at the foam manufacturing business. The damage seemed minimal as the machine was turned on and being tested by the time firefighters left the scene, Goodwillie said.

VANDALISM

• Centralia police were called three times yesterday to reports of eggs thrown at vehicles and a building. Struck were a building on the 200 block of South Tower Avenue and vehicles on the 2800 block of Russell Road, according to the Centralia Police Department. The incidents follow several from the day before in the Logan District. Police Sgt. Carl Buster says it appears to be random.

DRIVE-BY SHOOTING SUSPECT FROM 2006 BACK IN LEWIS COUNTY JAIL

• A former Centralia man is expected to go before a local judge this afternoon in connection with a drive-by shooting case from August 2006. Colbert A. Salmeron, 24, was found El Salvador following a tip that came from an airing of America’s Most Wanted earlier this year. He was arrested by U.S. marshals at the airport in Houston, Texas, shortly after he arrived in the country in May. Salmeron faces charges of first-degree assault and drive-by shooting for an incident at the 500 block of North Tower Avenue in which several shots were fired from a red Ford Mustang striking two vehicles in a parking lot where several individuals were standing around. It’s the second time Salmeron has been extradited back to Washington for the same case. He was booked into the Lewis County Jail last night with a no-bail hold.
