After 10 weeks of rigorous
study, physical training and test-
ing, Mason County Sheriff Casey
Salisbury graduated on Sept. 21
from the 250th class of the Feder-
al Bureau of Investigation's (FBI)
National Academy at Quantico,
Va.
Salisbury said it was an honor
just to be able to attend the pro-
gram.
"The hardest part is being ac-
cepted - there,s people that wait
up to 12 years to go," he said.
"You're competing with people
from all over the world to get into
the class."
Each year the National Acad-
emy Program offers 10 weeks of
advanced training for officers
fi-om law enforcement organiza-
tions with an average of 19 years
~experience in
their fields.
Salisbury
called ,the pro-
gram probably
the most pres-
tigious law en-
forcement train-
ing you can go
to."
Casey Salisbury
Salisbury graduated along
with 254 other
students from
law enforcement agencies in 49
states, and 24 countries.
While in the program, Salis-
bury earned 17 graduate credits
from the University of Virginia
from classes on drugs in society,
leadership in law enforcement,
labor law issues in law enforce-
ment, firearms and arson investi-
gation, physical fitness and inter-
viewing strategies.
Once accepted into the pro-
gram, students have to meet
physical fitness standards and
pass all of their classes.
"You go back there with a lot
of pressure, because if you don't
succeed in any one of your classes
you go home," he said. "And peo-
ple went home."
The individual classes were
difficult and taught by some of
the best instructors in the coun-
try, Salisbury said.
"Everybody struggles," he said.
"For instance, the law class, it
was really a challenge, because
the lady that taught my class is
the chief of the legal department
for the FBI."
While in classes, Salisbury
had the chance to collaborate
with leaders in law enforcement
from all over the world, including
Spain, Macedonia, Turkey, Paki-
.stan, Nigeria and Hong Kong,
among others.
"You're in classes with people
that are extremely intelligent and
they're the very best that their
country has to offer," he said.
Meeting people from other
countries and cultures gave him
a different perspective on law en-
forcement back home.
"Sometimes we would like to
think that we have it difficult,
then you view somebody (else's)
country," he said.
In a class on leadership in law
enforcement, Salisbury learned
about how police organizations
adapt to struggles their depart-
ments face.
At the end of the course, the
class voted to give the Mason
County Sheriffs Office the "Ex-
cellence in Leadership Award"
based on its ability to adapt to the
changing needs of its community.
"When they look at our com-
mand staff size ... they're in dis-
belief that we can cover what we
have," he said. "It's exciting .... a
credit to other people in our com-
munity here."
Salisbury did particularly well
in his law class, earning a 94 per-
cent on the final exam.
"You know the test is difficult
when the first question is an en-
tire first page," he said. "I was
thrilled because I think I missed
two."
While the courses were dif-
ficult and the physical training
was demanding, Salisbury said
the hardest part about being gone
was missing Shelton High School
football games. Both his sons,
Shelby and Chase, are on the
team this year.
Salisbury said the only rea-
son he was able to do well in the
course was because he could trust
the sheriffs office to function well
without him.
"There was a tremendous bur-
den placed on the administrative
staff here," he said.
Cloud pleads
not guilty
Justus Mason Cloud, 30,
pleaded not guilty on Monday
in Mason County Superior
Court to a charge of first-de-
gree assault stemming from
an arrest on Sept. 28.
After a traffic stop at Gold-
eneye Place near Lake Ko-
kanee, Cloud ran from Mason
County Sheriffs deputies. He
had three outstanding war-
rants in Mason County Dis-
trict and Superior courts.
A&er a struggle with Ma-
son County Sheriffs Deputy
Matthew Gray, Cloud swam
across Lake Kokanee to escape
arrest, but was later captured
using infrared technology.
Cloud's next court appear-
ance is scheduled for Oct. 22.
Ring arraigned
John Richard Ring, who
was arrested on Sept. 27 as
part of a joint Mason County
Sheriffs Office Special Opera-
tions Group (SOG) and Mason
County SWAT team effort,
pleaded not guilty to several
charges Monday in Mason
County Superior Court.
Ring pleaded not guilty to
one charge of possession of
a stolen motor vehicle, one
charge of possession of meth-
amphetamine and two charges
of possession of stolen property.
Ring was arrested after a
three-week long investigation
into the theft of a restored
1968 GMC truck. Authorities
say Ring was trying to sell the
truck on craigslist for $10,000.
2 men rob
Pizza Hut
The Shelton Pizza Hut at
805 S. First Street was robbed
at gunpoint at 12:12 a.m. ear-
ly Saturday morning.
Employees of the restau-
rant told Shelton police that
two Hispanic males dressed
in black and carrying guns
robbed the restaurant of an
undisclosed amount of cash.
The men left on foot, run-
ning toward a trail behind the
restaurant.
Shelton Police' Sgt. Les
Watson said the case has
been referred to detectives
who plan to thoroughly in-
terview witnesses and review
evidence, possibly including
surveillance tapes.

he said.
Richards called several wit-

Eoff, Mason County Sheriffs
Deputy Justin Cotte, Justine Fry
because it was late and he didn't
want to wake them up.
"I just drove around town,"
Shelton said while oil the witness
