A man who was bitten in the
nose by his girlfriend has been
sentenced to two months in the
Mason County Jail for the assault
that found the woman deibnding
herself with her teeth.
Cary Joseph Hoggarth, 31,
of 1110 SE State Route 3, Shel-
ton, was charged in Mason County
Superior Court in a case that sent
him to Mason General Hospital
with a severely bitten nose. Dur-
ing his treatment it was revealed
that he had suffered the injury in
an altercation with 23-year-old
Susan Lynn Sharpe. Sharpe said
she bit Hoggarth in self-defense
after he struck her in the mouth
with his elbow and choked her.
Deputy Jason Sisson of the
Mason County Sheriff's Office re-
sponded to the call and reported
that Hoggarth was intoxicated
and "very uncooperative."
Judge Sawyer ordered ttog-
garth to get an evaluation and
treatment for domestic violence
and ordered him to pay $1,791.50.
He was ordered to haw no con-
tact with Sharpe fi,r the next five
years.
Several other individuals were
sentenced on Monday, August 13,
to time in the county jail.
• Thomas E. Peterson, 24, of
480 North Tribal Center Road was
sentenced to 10 months in jail tbr
assault in the second degree. He
was convicted of driving a stolen
Ford F-250 pickup truck into a
Ford Expedition driven by Leona
Cooper.
He was arrested in the early-
morning hours of April 28 in con-
nection with events on North Ena-
tai Court on the Skokomish Reser-
vation. Peterson was charged with
stealing a truck owned by Thonms
Longshore. Investigating offi-
cers were told that Cooper was at
Longshore's home when Peterson
stole the truck and was rammed
when she followed him in her own
vehicle.
The arresting deputy's report
indicates that Peterson drank a
large amount of beer beibre these
incidents, and Peterson's mother
told the court that her son has
a serious alcohol problem. His
grandmother, Lila Vigil, also ad-
dressed the court. "(liven a chance
I think he can do good," she said.
"He's had a decent upbringing; he
knows right from wrong."
Peterson apologized. "It's time
I made a significant change in my
life," he said. "I can't keep coming
back to jail."
Judge Sawyer also sentenced
him to nine months for theft in the
first degree, but that time will be
served concurrently with the time
on the assault charge. "On this
occasion you created a very real
threat to another person," Sawyer
said. 'rhat can't be excused. Peo-
ple who care about you can't quit
drinking for you."
The judge ordered Peterson to
have no contact with Cooper and
ordered him to pay $1,451 in legal
financial obligations.
• Thomas Joseph Page, 40, of
610 Euclid Avenue, Shelton, was
sentenced to 60 days in the Mason
County Jail for fourth-degree as-
sault and unlawful possession of a
firearm.
He was found guilty at a jury
trial of domestic violence against
his 14-year-old daughter and was
reported to be in possession of a
gun. Page is prohibited from hav-
ing a gun based on a prior convic-
tion, and defense attorney Ronald
Sergi noted that no firearm was
found and told Judge James Saw-
yer that his client has been evalu-
ated for a problem with alcohol
and is in a treatment program at
Saint Peter Hospital.
The victim addressed the court,
and Judge James Sawyer told her
that adults take responsibility for
the things they do. Page told the
court he took responsibility for
his action and apologized to his
daughter for what he did.
Page will be on probation for 24
months, during which time 305
days of suspended time on the as-
sault charge can be reimposed if
he fails to obey orders of the court.
Sawyer ordered him to pay $500
to the crime victims thnd, $100 to
a fund for victims of domestic vio-
lence and costs associated with the
case.
• James C. Stanley, 26, of
2010 South First Street, Shelton,
was sentenced for unlawful pos-
session of a firearm in the second
degree.
Having lost his right to have
a gun when he was convicted as
a juvenile of burglary and a rob-
bery, he had an unloaded Ruger
.357 Magnum revolver which was
found in a holster in a vehicle he
was driving when he was arrest-
ed on October 15, 2006 by Officer
Warren Ohlson of the Shelton Po-
lice Department.
Deputy Prosecutor Mike Dorcy
recommended eight months in jail,
but Sawyer gave Stanley seven
instead and ordered him to pay
$1,406 in costs. Defense attorney
Andrew Rubenstein noted that his
client had admitted wrongdoing,
and Judge Sawyer told Stanley he
must maintain law-abiding behav-
ior for a significant period of time
if he is to regain his right to pos-
sess a firearm.
"I've learned from my mistakes,"
Stanley said. "I know I need to get
a job and make a new life for my-
self and my children."
• Gary Shawn Brown, 30, and
an inmate at the state corrections
center at Monroe, was sentenced
to 30 days incarceration for failing
to report as a sex offender. He was
incarcerated at Monroe while his
case was pending and sent Judge
Sawyer two letters from there.
Convicted sex offenders are re-
quired by law to inform the local
authorities of their whereabouts.
Brown thiled to inform the sher-
iffs office that he moved out of
accommodations here on July 8 of
last year.
This is his first

Guilty pleas:
Splett is convicted
of domestic violenc
A 40-year-old man scheduled
ibr trial in Mason County Superior
Court on a 2004 domestic violence-
related incident changed his plea
on Friday.
Gregory Dennis Splett en-
tered an Alford plea of guilty on
August 17 to burglary in the sec-
ond degree, resolving the three-
year-old case. He was convicted of
domestic violence in an incident
that occurred on October 17, 2004
at 755 NE Tiger-Mission Road
involving Shannon Shield with
whom he had a dating relation-
ship.
Deputy Prosecutor Reinhold
Schuetz said there were hold-back
charges if the case went to trial
and that the state agreed not to
file a charge of bail jumping in ex-
change for the guilty plea.
Judge James Sawyer said with
no prior felony criminal history,
the standard sentencing range
is from one to three months and
noted there is no post-release su-
pervision.
An Alford plea is a finding of
guilt, the judge emphasized. In an
Alford plea a person does not ad-
mit to the facts of a case but pleads
guilty to take advantage of an of-
fer from the state and because the
evidence is such that a jury would
be likely to convict.
Splett is scheduled for sentenc-
ing on September 17.
Also on Friday, August 17:
* Sasha Sue Buhl, 19, of 232
North Iron Street, Centralia, pied
guilty to charges of burglary in the
second degree and theft in the first
degree related to a break-in April 5
at the Lake Limerick Mini Mart.
With an offender score of one,
the standard sentencing ranges
are from three to eight months for
the burglary conviction and from
two to six months for the first-de-
gree theft conviction, Judge Saw-
yer explained. The state agreed to
make standard-range sentencing
recommendations with no objec-
tion to partial conversion of time
to electronic home monitoring.
"Tell me in your own words what
you did," the judge asked Buhl. "I
took my friends to Lake Limerick
Mini Mart and they broke into it,"
she said.
Buhl is scheduled for sentenc-
ing on September 24.

A man who was bitten in the
nose by his girlfriend has been
sentenced to two months in the
Mason County Jail for the assault
that found the woman deibnding
herself with her teeth.
Cary Joseph Hoggarth, 31,
of 1110 SE State Route 3, Shel-
ton, was charged in Mason County
Superior Court in a case that sent
him to Mason General Hospital
with a severely bitten nose. Dur-
ing his treatment it was revealed
that he had suffered the injury in
an altercation with 23-year-old
Susan Lynn Sharpe. Sharpe said
she bit Hoggarth in self-defense
after he struck her in the mouth
with his elbow and choked her.
Deputy Jason Sisson of the
Mason County Sheriff's Office re-
sponded to the call and reported
that Hoggarth was intoxicated
and "very uncooperative."
Judge Sawyer ordered ttog-
garth to get an evaluation and
treatment for domestic violence
and ordered him to pay $1,791.50.
He was ordered to haw no con-
tact with Sharpe fi,r the next five
years.
Several other individuals were
sentenced on Monday, August 13,
to time in the county jail.
• Thomas E. Peterson, 24, of
480 North Tribal Center Road was
sentenced to 10 months in jail tbr
assault in the second degree. He
was convicted of driving a stolen
Ford F-250 pickup truck into a
Ford Expedition driven by Leona
Cooper.
He was arrested in the early-
morning hours of April 28 in con-
nection with events on North Ena-
tai Court on the Skokomish Reser-
vation. Peterson was charged with
stealing a truck owned by Thonms
Longshore. Investigating offi-
cers were told that Cooper was at
Longshore's home when Peterson
stole the truck and was rammed
when she followed him in her own
vehicle.
The arresting deputy's report
indicates that Peterson drank a
large amount of beer beibre these
incidents, and Peterson's mother
told the court that her son has
a serious alcohol problem. His
grandmother, Lila Vigil, also ad-
dressed the court. "(liven a chance
I think he can do good," she said.
"He's had a decent upbringing; he
knows right from wrong."
Peterson apologized. "It's time
I made a significant change in my
life," he said. "I can't keep coming
back to jail."
Judge Sawyer also sentenced
him to nine months for theft in the
first degree, but that time will be
served concurrently with the time
on the assault charge. "On this
occasion you created a very real
threat to another person," Sawyer
said. 'rhat can't be excused. Peo-
ple who care about you can't quit
drinking for you."
The judge ordered Peterson to
have no contact with Cooper and
ordered him to pay $1,451 in legal
financial obligations.
• Thomas Joseph Page, 40, of
610 Euclid Avenue, Shelton, was
sentenced to 60 days in the Mason
County Jail for fourth-degree as-
sault and unlawful possession of a
firearm.
He was found guilty at a jury
trial of domestic violence against
his 14-year-old daughter and was
reported to be in possession of a
gun. Page is prohibited from hav-
ing a gun based on a prior convic-
tion, and defense attorney Ronald
Sergi noted that no firearm was
found and told Judge James Saw-
yer that his client has been evalu-
ated for a problem with alcohol
and is in a treatment program at
Saint Peter Hospital.
The victim addressed the court,
and Judge James Sawyer told her
that adults take responsibility for
the things they do. Page told the
court he took responsibility for
his action and apologized to his
daughter for what he did.
Page will be on probation for 24
months, during which time 305
days of suspended time on the as-
sault charge can be reimposed if
he fails to obey orders of the court.
Sawyer ordered him to pay $500
to the crime victims thnd, $100 to
a fund for victims of domestic vio-
lence and costs associated with the
case.
• James C. Stanley, 26, of
2010 South First Street, Shelton,
was sentenced for unlawful pos-
session of a firearm in the second
degree.
Having lost his right to have
a gun when he was convicted as
a juvenile of burglary and a rob-
bery, he had an unloaded Ruger
.357 Magnum revolver which was
found in a holster in a vehicle he
was driving when he was arrest-
ed on October 15, 2006 by Officer
Warren Ohlson of the Shelton Po-
lice Department.
Deputy Prosecutor Mike Dorcy
recommended eight months in jail,
but Sawyer gave Stanley seven
instead and ordered him to pay
$1,406 in costs. Defense attorney
Andrew Rubenstein noted that his
client had admitted wrongdoing,
and Judge Sawyer told Stanley he
must maintain law-abiding behav-
ior for a significant period of time
if he is to regain his right to pos-
sess a firearm.
"I've learned from my mistakes,"
Stanley said. "I know I need to get
a job and make a new life for my-
self and my children."
• Gary Shawn Brown, 30, and
an inmate at the state corrections
center at Monroe, was sentenced
to 30 days incarceration for failing
to report as a sex offender. He was
incarcerated at Monroe while his
case was pending and sent Judge
Sawyer two letters from there.
Convicted sex offenders are re-
quired by law to inform the local
authorities of their whereabouts.
Brown thiled to inform the sher-
iffs office that he moved out of
accommodations here on July 8 of
last year.

Guilty pleas:
Splett is convicted
of domestic violenc
A 40-year-old man scheduled
ibr trial in Mason County Superior
Court on a 2004 domestic violence-
related incident changed his plea
on Friday.
Gregory Dennis Splett en-
tered an Alford plea of guilty on
August 17 to burglary in the sec-
ond degree, resolving the three-
year-old case. He was convicted of
domestic violence in an incident
that occurred on October 17, 2004
at 755 NE Tiger-Mission Road
involving Shannon Shield with
whom he had a dating relation-
ship.
Deputy Prosecutor Reinhold
Schuetz said there were hold-back
charges if the case went to trial
and that the state agreed not to
file a charge of bail jumping in ex-
change for the guilty plea.
Judge James Sawyer said with
no prior felony criminal history,
the standard sentencing range
is from one to three months and
noted there is no post-release su-
pervision.
An Alford plea is a finding of
guilt, the judge emphasized. In an
Alford plea a person does not ad-
mit to the facts of a case but pleads
guilty to take advantage of an of-
fer from the state and because the
evidence is such that a jury would
be likely to convict.
Splett is scheduled for sentenc-
ing on September 17.
Also on Friday, August 17:
* Sasha Sue Buhl, 19, of 232
North Iron Street, Centralia, pied
guilty to charges of burglary in the
second degree and theft in the first
degree related to a break-in April 5
at the Lake Limerick Mini Mart.
With an offender score of one,
the standard sentencing ranges
are from three to eight months for
the burglary conviction and from
two to six months for the first-de-
gree theft conviction, Judge Saw-
yer explained. The state agreed to
make standard-range sentencing
recommendations with no objec-
tion to partial conversion of time
to electronic home monitoring.
"Tell me in your own words what
you did," the judge asked Buhl. "I
took my friends to Lake Limerick
Mini Mart and they broke into it,"
she said.
Buhl is scheduled for sentenc-
ing on September 24.
