Officers reported finding a large

in the glovebox and indicated the

Baird reportedly said the items

to the arrest report.
Judge Toni Sheldon appointed
Ronald Sergi as defense attorney
for Morgan and released her on a

Peterson admits
to charges filed
in 2004 burglary
Sentencing is scheduled Mon-
day for a 43-year-old former Shel-
ton resident who changed his pleas
recently in two Mason County Su-
perior Court cases.
Steven J. Peterson, an inmate
in the custody of the Washington
State Department of Corrections,
could be sentenced under the
Drug Offender Sentencing Alter-
native for offenses committed in
2004. Under the so-called DOSA
sentence, an offender is sentenced
to the mid-range of the standard
sentencing range with half of the
time served in prison and the
other half of the sentence under
intensive supervision by the cor-
rections department.
The sentencing mandates par-
ticipation in a substance-abuse
program. If a defendant fails to
abide by the supervision require-
ments, the remainder of the sen-
tence is served behind bars.
Peterson entered guilty pleas
on June 6 to charges of residen-
tial burglary and burglary in the
second degree in one case and to
a charge of possession of meth-
amphetamine in the other case.
In his plea statement he wrote,
"On May 17, 2004, I entered a
residence at 700 East Burgundy
Road and a building at 706 East
Burgundy Road with the intent
to steal." According to court docu-
ments, the residence is owned by
Susan Haapakaski and the shed
is owned by Robert Vickelyst. Pe-
terson also admitted he had meth
when he was arrested on May 17,
2004.
With an offender score of nilae,
the standard sentencing range is
from 63 to 84 months for the resi-
dential burglary and from 51 to
68 months for second-degree bur-
glary, with the state agreeing to
recommend a DOSA sentence on
the residential-burglary convic-
tion of 73 months and two weeks,
with 36 months and three weeks
in prison and the same amount
of time in intense community su-
pervision, Judge Toni Sheldon
explained. The DOSA sentence
would be consecutive to any time
Peterson is serving now and con-
current to sentences for the sec-
ond-degree burglary of the shed
and drug conviction. She sched-
uled sentencing for June 18.
In other superior court cases:
• Bryson Eugene Braget, 34,
of Shelton, plod guilty on Monday
to possession of methamphet-
amine. He was listed as tran-
sient.
Braget admitted he had meth
when he was arrested May 7 on
a Department of Corrections war-
rant. With an offender score of
five, the sentencing range is from
six to 18 months, with sentences of
one year or less served in the Ma-
son County Jail and sentences of
12 months plus one day and over
in a state facility, Judge Sheldon
explained. She scheduled sentenc-
ing for July 2.
* Brittani Marie Marshall,
18, of Shelton, pled guilty on Mon-
day to theft in the second degree.
She provided an address of 2720
Highland Road at the time of her
arrest. In her plea statement Mar-
shall wrote, "On May 14 I took a
car not belonging to me without
the owner's permission."
With no prior tlony criminal
history, the standard sentenc-
ing range is from zero to 60 days,
Judge Sheldon explained.
Defense attorney Ronald Sergi
said Marshall had been in custody
at the jail for 29 days and request-
ed her release pending sentenc-
ing. The judge released Marshall
on her promise to appear for sen-
tencing on June 25.
• Shannon Marie Arndt, 27,
of 181 Sea Vista Lane, Grapeview,
pled guilty on Thursday, June 7, to
possession of methamphetamine,
resolving a 2006 case.
In her plea statement she ad-
mitted she had meth when was ar-
rested July 29, 2006 by Sergeant
Jerry Lingle of the Shelton Police
Department. A small plastic; bag
found in one of her pants pockets
contained a substance that field-
tested positive for moth.
With no prior felony criminal
history, the standard sentencing
range is from zero to six months
followed by nine to 12 months of
community custody, Judge Shel-
don explained. Arndt is also eli-
gible for the First-time Offender
Sentencing Option, which pro-
vides for a sentence of zero to 90
days followed by 24 months of
supervision, she added, with the
state recommending a first-time
offender sentence of 30 days with
credit for 23 days served. Arndt is
scheduled for sentencing on June
25.
