The weather is just going through a stage
High winds of last month destroyed the stage at the Mason County Fairgrounds,
according to Mike Rutter of Mason County. He's in charge of maintaining the fair-
grounds. "It was built with volunteer labor and lasted for quite a while," he said.
Damage to the stage and the roof of a nearby building was estimated at $16,000. Rut-
ter said the county is considering whether to replace the stage with a fixed struc-
ture or one that can be moved.
Guilty pleas:
Ramos admits he drank
and then tried to get away
A 20-year-old Shelton man
admitted driving a vehicle after
drinking alcohol and attempting
to get away from a police officer
who attempted to arrest him
when he changed his plea re-
cently in Mason County Superior
Court.
Juan Felipe Ramos of 220
East Northlake Drive, pled
guilty on Monday to attempting
to elude a pursuing police vehicle
and driving under the influence
of intoxicants, or DUI.
Judge James Sawyer explained
the sentencing range for felony
eluding is from zero to 60 days
in the Mason County Jail based
on an offender score of zero. The
range for the DUI conviction
is from zero to 365 days with a
mandatory minimum sentence of
45 days confinement and 90 days
on electronic home monitoring
and a $1,503 fine.
The mandatory sentence and
fine are based on a prior alcohol-
related driving conviction, Dep-
uty Prosecutor Mike Dorcy said.
Ramos had a 2005 conviction in
Mason County District Court for
negligent driving which was re-
duced from a charge of driving
under the influence. In his plea
statement Ramos indicated: "On
November 23, I tried to avoid the
police. I had been drinking before
I drove." '
He was arrested on North
Highway 101 near the Mason
County Fairgrounds just after 1
a.m. by Trooper Richard Pigman
of the Washington State Patrol.
The trooper reported using sta-
tionary radar which showed Ra-
mos going 68 miles per hour in
a 45-mph zone. After the officer
activated lights and siren, Ra-
mos cut through the Airport Gro-
cery parking lot at a high rate of
speed and turned onto Blevins
Road going 60 miles per hour in
a 25-mph zone.
Results of the breath test in-
dicated a .19 blood alcohol level,
over twice the legal limit of .08.
Sentencing is scheduled for Feb-
ruary 5. Court-certified interpret-
er Mariana Sparkman translated
the plea fbrm and the proceed-
ings into Spanish and English.

Sr., 53, of 421 SE Arcadia Road,
Shelton, pled guilty to possession
of methamphetamine, resolving

ment, Dahman admitted he had
meth inside the vehicle he was
driving when he was arrested on
January 16, 2006.
With an offender score of
three, the sentencing range is
from six to 18 months, Judge
Sawyer explained. Sentences of"
less than a year are served in jail
and sentences of over one year
are served in a Washington State
Department of' Corrections facil-
ity. Sentencing is scheduled for
February 5.

of assaulting his cellmate Joshua
Blum-Adam on March 27, 2006
by smacking him upside the head
and then forcing him to perform
oral sex. Blum-Adam, who has a
severe brain injury from an auto-
mobile collision, reportedly told
a doctor at the prison about the
incident and said Faausu would
hit him in the head to get him to
do things.
Judge James Sawyer appoint-
ed the law firm of Jones and Fer-
rell to represent Faausa. He or-
dered the defendant to have no
contact with the victim except

King County for communicating
with a minor for immoral pur-
poses.
According to court documents,
he was arrested on November 22
when he surrendered himself at
the courthouse to Detective Bill
Adam, who coordinates the sex
offender registration program for
the Mason County Sheriffs Of-
rice. Adams reported being con-
tacted on November 21 by Susan
C. Arb of the Yakima County
Prosecutor's Office who said there
was a warrant for Mosqueda's
arrest and said she had learned
Mosqueda was living at 21 Aspiel
Lane. He admitted he had been
living at his father's residence for
several months.
Judge Sawyer explained that
because the charge is a gross mis-
demeanor, the sentencing range
is from zero to 365 days, with the
state recommending a sentence
of 365 days with credit ibr time
served and the remainder sus-
pended. He said Mosqueda would
be held pending sentencing set
for January 22.
On Friday, January 5:
• Frank Michael Riedle, 36,
of 1118 Sydney, Port Orchard,
entered an Alford plea of guilty
to an amended charge of theft in
the second degree. He had been
charged with first-degree theft.
According to court documents,
he was arrested September 9 by
Deputy Kelly LaFrance who said
she saw a man running from the
area of 390 East Mason-Benson
Road and walking towards a ve-
hicle located across the road. The
deputy located a 1998 Jaguar
near a cell phone tower behind
a locked gate on private proper-
ty. Riedle was accused of taking
parts from the vehicle which the
registered owner, Doug E. Iver-
son, reported stolen in Tacoma.
Deputy Prosecutor Reinhold
Schuetz said, "The defendant
admitting knowing the car was
there and although he did not
steal it, he admitted he was tak-
ing parts, including the seats."
Schuetz said the state agreed
to reduce the degree of the theft
charge after ascertaining the
value of the seats was less than
$1,500. With an offender score
of three, the sentencing range is
from two to six months, Judge
Toni Sheldon explained. She
said the state would recommend
a sentence of five months, with
four months confinement in the
jail and one month on electron-
ic home monitoring. Riedle is
scheduled for sentencing on Feb-
ruary 5.
In an Alford plea a person
does not admit guilt but pleads
guilty to take advantage of an
offer from the state and because
the evidence is such that a jury is
likely to convict.
