Gun possession:
He's guilty of one,
not guilty of three
A Mason County Superior Court
jury returned one guilty verdict
and three not-guilty verdicts in
the trial of a 20-year-old Shelton
man charged with four counts of
unlawful possession of a firearm
in the second degree.
Steven Allen Mencer, of 1426
Ellinor Avenue, is scheduled for
sentencing on February 5. He was
convicted of having a Beretta pis-
tol in the bedroom of a residence at
2720 West Highland Road where
he was arrested on October 17.
Three other guns were found in
the bedroom: a Savage .22 rifle, a
Winchester .22 rifle, and a Sport-
ing Arms .410-gauge shotgun, hid-
den in a closet. He was acquitted
of those three counts.
Mencer lost his right t'o own,
use or possess firearms as a result
of a 2005 felony conviction in Ma-
son County Superior Court.
THE JURY was seated on De-
cember 20 and began hearing tes-
timony on December 21.
Detective Jason Dracobly of the
Mason County Sheriffs Office said
he obtained a search warrant for
2720 West Highland Road as a re-
sult of an unrelated investigation
and was present when the warrant
was executed on October 17. He
said detectives remained outside
while the SERT, or Sheriffs Emer-
gency Response Team, entered the
residence. He said he only had a
brief interaction with Mencer.
He said Erica Rodriguez was in
the living room, Debbie Marshall
was in a bedroom off the kitchen
and Richard York was also at the
residence.
Dracobly said York was the
primary target of the warrant
and that Mencer was not. He said
SERT officers were used because
"we had two convicted felons and
we had information there were
guns in the trailer."
DEPUTY KEN Potts, a mem-
ber of the SERT, said the special
team is used "when things get a
little more high-risk. We have spe-
cial training in how we deal with
people in a hostile environment."
He said he located Mencer in
a bedroom. "When I entered the
bedroom he was occupying he was
laying on the floor on a mattress."
Deputy Bill Reed was with him,
Potts said, explaining, "We never
