In the midst of a series of omni-

young defendant had not been ar-

Jay Dick Thorpe James,
27, of 17661 North Highway 101,
Shelton, entered a not-guilty plea
to charges of theft in the first de-
gree through attorney Jeannette
Boothe, who recently took on his
case as a public defender.
Boothe and Deputy Prosecutor
Rebecca Jones Garcia, standing
in for Deputy Prosecutor Rein-
hold Schuetz, then continued to
exchange information in omnibus
hearings before Judge Toni Shel-
don on all four charges currently
pending against James. A number

sion of an explosive device without
a license. He is scheduled for an
omnibus hearing on August 6, a
pretrial hearing on August 10 and
trial during the jury term begin-
ning August 28.
He was arrested July 5 at State
Route 3 just south of Arcadia by
Officer Chris Kostad of the Shelton
Police Department, who stopped
the vehicle Lane was driving for
having no front license plate and
learned Lane had five outstand-
ing Mason County District Court
warrants for his arrest. When the
officer searched the vehicle he re-
ported finding a black plastic con-
tainer which was wrapped in black
electrical tape and had a fuse pro-
truding from one side. Kostad said

from the Shelton Police Depart-
ment were responding to a report
of a disturbance at 808 West Pine
Street. She and Martin had been

for improper lane travel and con-
firmed an active warrant.
A charge of unlawful
possession of a firearm filed
this spring against Shelton area
resident Michael Lamont was
dismissed without prejudice in
Mason County Superior Court
on Monday
An individual who has been
convicted of a felony is not by
law allowed to own or handle a
firearm without taking action
to restore the right to keep and
bear arms. Lamont was charged
after records disclosed a felony
theft charge filed against him in
1982, when he was 18. Lamont's
attorney, Eric Valley, told the
court that the underlying charge
was reduced to a misdemeanor
when Lamont pled guilty 25
years ago, so Lamont has no
felony convictions. Deputy
Prosecutor Rebecca Jones-
Garcia, standing in for Deputy
Prosecutor Reinhold Schuetz
who filed the charge, concurred
that the filing was the only
reference on which the cur
case was based.
Judge Toni Sheldon dismis
the case.

sentenced to 14 months for rape of
a child in the third degree. He was
she heard Miller "plead in tribal
court as a sexual predator" when a
restraining order was issued pro-
hibiting him from contacting her
daughter. She said, "This has been
a long, hard process for her to get
over this. I chose not to have her
here so she can try to go on with
her life. It was a big blow to her
when this came out in the paper."
The victim's parents requested
a maximum sentence and a no-
contact order
said, turning to the victim's
ily. "I never intended to hurt
body. I m sorry these events tr
pired. We were lost people wh0!
together in that sense."

not to bring her daughter to court
after an article on Miller's arrest

said.
"He preyed on my daughter's
insecurities. She was 14 at the
time," the mother said.
The father said Miller was told
to stay away from his daughter by
numerous people, "and he chose
not to."
