Court.
Trica Lee Rice of 241 East Or-

"strike" offenses. She is scheduled
for sentencing June 25.

nets two meth suspects
Two men arre§ted at the site of
a suspected theft of maple from
Green Diamond Resource proper-
ty near Matlock appeared Friday,
May 25, in Mason County Supe-
rior Court fhcing potential drug
charges.
Lance Jon Saila, 57, of 26 West
Satko Glen, Elma, and Clarence
Allen Creamer, 36, of 121 Barce-
lona Lane, Elma, were identified
in an investigation of possession of"
methamphetamine with intent to
deliver.
They were arrested May 24 on
Green Diamond Resource prop-
erty in the area of Decker Creek
by Deputy Ted Drogrnund of the
Mason County Sheriffs Office who
is assigned to patrol private forest
lands. He reported finding a fresh
theft from a downed maple tree on
May 15 on property between Beer-
bower and Matlock-Brady roads.
Certain maple slabs are used in
making musical instruments and
furniture.
Drogmund noted he set up sur-
veillance and on May 24, a dark-
colored pickup truck parked next
to a downed maple tree. Two men
got out of the rig and were detained
by Drogmund and other officers.
Saila was arrested on a Depart-
ment of Corrections warrant and
Creamer had active Grays Harbor
County warrants.
He said the suspected meth was
found inside the vehicle with the
seven small bags all containing a
white substance stuffed in an Al-
toids container. According to the
report, there was also a larger
plastic bag containing suspected
meth, three smoking devices, one
plastic mini-scale with white res-
idue and $1,580 in a case on the
front seat. The substances in the
bags field-tested positive for meth,

tact with each other and told the
men they cannot go on Green Dia-
