Man Charged With Making Death Threat
A 22-year-old man was charged Friday night with threatening to kill a Spokane Valley woman.
Shayne P. Rockstrom, who gave his address as 11012 E. 17th, was booked into the Spokane County Jail for felony harassment. He was also charged with driving with a suspended license.
The 18-year-old victim and a friend left her house in the 3000 block of South Whipple in a car and were followed by a blue Honda Civic, deputies said.
The Honda chased the two women for about 20 minutes and tried to run them off the road before they returned to the house on Whipple, said Lt. David Wiyrick.
There a man and a woman threatened to kill the victim, witnesses said.
Deputies stopped Rockstrom driving another car in the 10900 block of East Main a few minutes later and arrested him. The woman allegedly involved was not with Rockstrom when he was arrested. Deputies said she might also be charged.
Drug bust nets three
Three men were arrested on drug charges after undercover detectives arranged to buy drugs in a Valley parking lot.
Alfonso A. Olivera, 24, Jose Carlos Perez, 24, and David ValinciaVargas, 21, were all charged with conspiracy to deliver and felony possession of cocaine and methamphetamines last Thursday. Olivera was also charged with delivery of a controlled substance.
Law enforcement officials seized a kilogram of cocaine valued at $25,000 and one pound of methamphetamines valued at $8,000 in a parking lot on the corner of Argonne and Mission, Wiyrick said.
He said detectives began setting up the deal a month ago and bought methamphetamines from one of the men previously, but he declined to say which one.
Olivera and Perez are suspected gang members, Wiyrick said. All three gave Tri-Cities addresses and are illegal aliens, Wiyrick said.
Officers from the Spokane Regional Drug Task Force, the Drug Enforcement Agency, Washington State Patrol and the Department of Immigration and Naturalization Services all teamed with the Sheriff’s Department to make the arrests.
Man with drugs, guns arrested
Four members of the sheriff’s S.W.A.T. team and several masked detectives raided a Valley trailer holding drugs and guns and arrested a man. Macklyn Two Moons, 36, was arrested at his 4706 E. First trailer the afternoon of Jan. 10 and charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
Detectives found an assault rifle, a handgun, a sporting rifle, a shotgun and 2,000 rounds of ammunition in the trailer, said Sgt. George Wigen.
Woman clubbed by burglar
A 16-year-old boy was charged Tuesday with clubbing a 20-year-old Valley woman in the head with an ax handle while she slept on her couch.
The woman suffered two cuts to her head that required stitches and also suffered a shoulder injury during the Sunday morning attack. She was treated at Valley Hospital and Medical Center.
The teen, who gave an address in the 14100 block of East Longfellow, faces assault and burglary charges.
Deputies found several lawn chairs stacked outside a small sliding window where the intruder apparently broke in about 5 a.m., Wiyrick said.
Burglar startles woman
A 21-year-old woman chased a burglar from her Valley home Monday morning.
The woman told deputies she heard a noise in her kitchen about 8:25 a.m. When the burglar saw the woman, he ran from the kitchen, threw a wooden rocking horse at her and ran out the front door, deputies said.
The horse slammed into the wall and did not hit the woman.
The burglar was 6 feet tall, wore blue jeans and a dark sweat shirt and had dark hair that hung past his shoulders.
