Steven M. Plant, 19, Shelton, was sentenced to a maximum of 20 years in the custody of the State Department of Social and Health Services on a charge of first-degree assault to which he had previously pleaded guilty. The sentence was imposed by Judge Gerry Alexander in Mason County Superior Court Thursday. Plant was accused of shooting Rick Wilbur, 19, Shelton, last fall. Deputy Prosecutor Gary Burleson told the court Plant had been intoxicated at the time of the incident. He said there had been an argument earlier in the evening between the victim, Rick Wilbur, and Plant's sister's boyfriend and that the boyfriend had gotten Plant and he had gone to a place near the Skokomish Reservation where a number of people gathered. He said Plant had fired the gun into the air first and that an argument had ensued and that Plant had turned, lowered the gun and fired at Wilbur from about three feet away. Burleson said Plant had limited education and alcohol had something to do with the incident, but was not the total cause. Plant, the deputy prosecutor said, has no prior record. Burleson told the court both Plant and Wilbur were members of the Skokomish Tribe and were probably friends before the incident. preparations for tile Centennial of Shelton in a couple of years.

Layton, 33, Shelton, was arrested by Shelton police officers about 3:30 p.m. January 31 on charges of shoplifting. He was booked into the Mason County jail in lieu of bail at the time of his arrest.

Felix, 20, 725 Fifth Street, Shelton, was arrested about 4 p.m. Thursday on a warrant charging him with second.degree burglary from King County. He was booked into jail in lieu of $1,000 bail on the King County charge. The proposal came from Bob Betsch, a representative of Northwest Pump and Equipment Company, which sells the Keylock system. He told the commission the system would have a series of locks with individual keys which would activate one of the locks. The county employe who was getting gas, he said, would insert the key which had been issued to him in the locR, which would allow him to pump gas into the vehicle. The amount of gas delivered would register to the number of the key which had been issued to the employe. The pump could not be activated without one of the special keys, Betsch said. Maintenance Supervisor Cliff Bush told the commission he had checked and that about 60 keys 'same time the proposed new . systaa is put in since the present pump is quite old and not working too well. He also said a new pump and an additional tank would provide for both leaded and unleaded gasoline from the one pump. Unaccounted-for gasoline from the county pump has been a problem for some time. The present system uses a card which the employe is to sign and insert in the gas pump. The pump then registers the amount of gas delivered on the card. Cards are sometimes found unsigned in the pump, Bush said, and some have been found on the ground beside the pump. There were 360 gallons of gasoline unaccounted for last month, Bush said, which cost the county $213 at the current rate. Valentines Family pack assortment. 38 count.
