in
Judge Frank Baker ruled that
a search of Robert Eagle and
evidence obtained which is the
basis for a drug possession charge
against him was obtained legally.
The judge's ruling was made after
a hearing Friday in which Eagle's
attorney, Gerald Whitcomb, had
sought to have evidence in the
case suppressed.
Three officers, Deputy
Sheriffs Brian Schoening and Fred
Pharris and Shelton Police
Patrolman Mark Oliviero, all
testified they had gone to the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. David
Striplin on Lost Lake Road with a
search warrant April 25.
The officers all testified that
Mr. and Mrs. Striplin had been
arrested on drug charges and had
been taken to Mason County jail
and that, after they had been
transported away in a patrol car,
five officers remained at the
house to search
The officers said that while
they were searching, they
observed a truck drive in the
driveway and the driver get out
and come to the door of the
house.
Oliviero testified that he had
answered the door when Eagle
knocked and that Eagle had asked
if Mr. and Mrs. Striplin were
home and that after being told
they had been arrested on drug
charges and officers were
searching the house, Eagle said,
"Oh, no," and moved away from
the door hurriedly.
The officer said one of the
officers had called to Eagle to
stop and that he had observed
Eagle appear to throw something
into an area between the house
and an outbuilding.
He said officers looked for
what had been thrown and that
Eagle was subsequently arrested.
Schoening testified he had
been at the door with Oliviero
when the door was opened after
Eagle knocked and that he was
the first one out after Eagle
started to leave and that he told
him, "Hold it a minute; I want to
talk to you."
Schoening testified he had
started after Eagle and caught up
with the man at the corner of the
house and tfiat he was
subsequently searched to
determine if he had a weapon or
Andrick J. Grewe, 18, an
inmate of the Washington
Corrections Center, was sentenced
to an additional sentence of a
maximum of 15 years for grand
larceny when he appeared before
Judge Frank Baker in Mason
County Superior Court Friday.
Grewe had pleaded guilty to
the charge, which involved the
theft of some lumber, and was
o ut o n personal recognizance
while a pre-sentence report was
being prepared when he was
arrested and convicted of forgery
in Yakima County. He was
sentenced to the corrections
center from Yakima County.
Judge Baker ordered the
sentence he imposed to be served
consecutively, following the
sentence from Yakima County.
Shelton attorney Gerald
Whitcomb, who represented
Grewe, recommended that the
young man be given a deferred
sentence on the charge here,
stating he did not think an
additional sentence would do
Grewe much good.
The crime he was charged
with, as a first felony offense,
would not have been something
the young man would have been
incarcerated for if it had not been
for what happened in Yakima
County, Whitcomb told the court.
Whitcomb told the court
Grewe had an l lth grade
education and did seasonal work
when it was available. Whitcomb
said he had been told by the
young man's employers that he
was a hard, dependable worker.
Deputy Prosecutor Gary
B urleson said the pre-sentence
report recommended
incarceration, and that the
prosecutor's office supported that
recommendation.
not.
Schoening also testified he
had observed Eagle throw
something between the house and
the outbuilding.
The officers all testified the
officers who were at the house
were all in civilian clothes and
that when Eagle had first come to
the door and been informed they
were police officers, he had asked
for identification and was shown
badges by all five officers.
Eagle testified that he was a
foreman for a cedar salvage
company, and that he had been at
work April 25 and had come to
the Striplin home to see Striplin
about using his truck to haul
some cedar.
Eagle said after he had
encountered the officers at the
door he had heard one of them
say they had a search warrant and
that they were going to search
him, too.
He stated when he
