A suspected methamphetamine dealer who investigators say equipped his Spokane Valley home with surveillance vide
o and a tripwire while orchestrating an identity theft scheme is wanted by police.
Detectives spent months building a case against Ronald R. Foreman, (left) who left jail on $40,000 bond after a SWAT team raid at his home on 21st Avenue off Evergreen Road last March.
Crime Stoppers this week issued a reward for tips that lead to his capture on a new charge of leading organized crime in a case that depends on testimony from convicted criminals, including a woman who identified herself as the ex-girlfriend of Foreman and his wife.
Foreman faces about 10 to 15 years in prison if convicted.

March 5: Massive check fraud ring uncovered in Valley
The same Valley property crime unit that investigated Foreman investigated
another major stolen check ring that led to leading organized crime charges against two women.
Kimberly L. Fawver, 37, (right) and Krstina L. Fricke, 41, are accused of directing at least seven people to commit identity theft and check fraud in a drug-fueled scheme that victimized dozens of people, according to police.
Both women also face a slew of burglary and identity theft charges.
Other defendants in the case include Allen S. Easley, who was sentenced to 100 months in prison in December. He had been arrested at pawn shop in May with Fawver's daughter.
The leading organized crime charge has been filed a number of times in Spokane County Since its inception in 2001.
A burglary suspect arrested after reaching 100 mph during a freeway chase two weeks ago but later released from jail is back behind bars after police s
ay he tried pawning stolen guns.
Allen S. Easley (right), 23 and considered one of Spokane top 10 repeat offenders, was picked up Tuesday at Pawn One, 3705 N. Market, along with Brittnei J. Fawver, 19 (left).
Easley’s cur
rent stay at the Spokane County Jail is his fourth since mid-April.
“This is a chronic pattern of crime sprees committed by prolific repeat offenders who continue plague our community,” said Officer Jennifer DeRuwe in a news release.
Easley was arrested earlier this year on car theft and drug charges but spent little time in jail, documents show. He was back by the end of April, however, after a suspected check forger told police it was Easley who stole the check during a burglary at a car dealership.
During questioning in
connection
with that case, Easley reportedly admitted to another burglary and told
police
of a woman who has equipment to make bogus checks using legitimate bank
account
numbers stolen from bills left in mail boxes, according to court
documents. Easley appeared in court May 3 but left jail shortly after, and prosecutors have not yet filed burglary charges.
Police arrested the woman accused of making checks, Kristina Fricke, as well as Easley’s girlfriend, Randi Shepherd, April 30 in connection with the burglary investigation, but neither has been charged.
Also arrested was 36-year-old Kimberly L. Fawver (right), on charges of possession of a stolen motor vehicle, forgery and identify theft. She was arraigned on Tuesday and remains in jail.
Easley said he used Kimberly Fawver’s car to commit at least one of the burglaries, according to court documents. It’s unclear if Brittnei and Kimberly Fawver are related.
Easley returned to jail after a high-speed police chase May 9. He posted $20,000 bail May 14 but remains behind bars after appearing in Superior Court today on new charges.
Police believe Easley and Britteni Fawver may be responsible for other thefts in Spokane and released their mug shots Wednesday in hopes alleged victims will file reports with Crime Check, (509) 456-2233.
Easley has a swastika tattooed on the back of his head, police said.
A 23-year-old Spokane man arrested after he reached 100 mph during a police chase on Interstate 90 is a suspect in two burglaries that occurred about a week before the chase.
Allen S. Easley appeared in court on May 3 on charges of forgery and two counts of second-degree burglary after a suspected check forger told Spokane police that Easley stole the check from Alfonso Motors, 3206 N. Division, according to court documents.
A suspected accomplice, 36-year-old Kimberly L. Fawver, appeared in court today on possession of a stolen motor vehicle, forgery and identify theft charges.
Easley reportedly told police that he used Fawver’s car during a second burglary in the 600 block of W. Kiernan. Easley also told police that Kristina Fricke has equipment to make checks using account numbers stolen from mail boxes, according to court documents.
Detectives arrested Fricke and Easley’s girlfriend, Randi Shepherd, April 30.
All three left jail but Easley quickly returned after allegedly fleeing a police officer who tried pulling him over for driving reckless in a stolen vehicle May 9. Easley was arrested after spike strip flattened a tire.
He’s already out of jail. It was his third stint in a month - he was arrested around April 12 on charges of possession of a stolen motor vehicle and possession of a controlled substance.
