Man found naked in brush shed: .00eve-sconvi00-ed of burglary Two enter plea ,:han.ge 2 In second degree at jury trial before c00ases go l:o tn Two defendants changed their maintains his innocence but cause it suggests tohitlsL&apos;t pleas to guilty in Mason County thinks the evidence against him aren't taking full reSP 1' Robert Ronald Reeves, 37, of 722 West Pine Street, Shelton, was convicted Thursday of bur-. glary in the second degree after a one-day trial in Mason County Superior Court. He was arrested August 7 after he was found naked in a ware- house at Mill Creek Evergreens in Shelton. Judge James Sawyer scheduled sentencing for October 28. Deputy Prosecutor Reinhold Schuetz called Miguel Brambila- Cisneros to the stand as the first witness for the state. Karen Horn served as a translator of" the Spanish and English languages. Brambila-Cisneros testified that he was employed packing brush and counting cones at Mill Creek on the day of Reeves' ar- rest. "The day before I had closed it up," he said. He explained that he had a master key to all the doors but was unable to get into the warehouse when he came to work on the morning of August 7 because a shovel had been used to block the door. "I HAD NOT placed a shovel diagonally there," he said. Brambila-Cisneros told the jury that while the shovel pre- vented him tYom opening tile door he was able pry open the door enough to h)ok inside. He said he was able to s,c a man "e, inside who was naked from the waist up. "I saw that much, that he didn't have a shirt on," he said. "First of all I was very afraid." He said he closed the door, locked it and then told the manager of the business about the intruder. He said Daniel Johnson called the Mason County Sheriff's Office on his truck radio. Brambila-Cisneros then went over some photographs that showed pallets and boxes knocked over that hadn't been knocked over the night before. "Everything was all turned upside down," he said.

SCHUETZ THEN called Michelle Wiktorek of Shelton, the receptionist at the floral ever- greens firm, to the stand. She said she got to work after Bram- bila-Cisneros. "I observed Miguel standing out in the parking lot and I thought that was a bit unu- sual," she said. Wiktorek said several deputies arrived shortly after she got there. She said Reeves had been in the office asking for a job applica- tion on the day before his arrest. She then testified that as the deputies were taking Reeves away she noticed that several pal- lets of boxes had been knocked over. She said she saw powder from the fire extinguishers and foam spilled all over and noticed that two big garbage cans full of liquid foam had been dumped over and spilled on the floor. THE TRAILER, she said, had a fiat tire and a scale appeared to have been broken. Schuetz then called Johnson to the stand. He said he called the sheriffs office on his cellular phone after Brambila-Cisneros told him that he had seen an in- truder. Johnson described the in- terior of the warehouse as "a disaster." Schuetz then called Deputy Kenneth J. Potts to the stand. He said he was dispatched to Mill Creek Evergreens on the morning of August 7. "I heard that there was a serious situation going on," he said.

"I HEARD a lot of different commotion - talking," Potts said. "It was to the point where we al- most thought there was two peo- ple inside." But Potts said he found only one person inside and talked the intruder into surren- dering. "He didn't have any clothes on whatsoever," he said. Questioned by Sergi, he said he did not talk to Reeves or ask him where his clothes were. Schuetz then called Sergeant Virgil Pentz of the Shelton Police Department to the stand. He said he too heard banging inside the warehouse and helped deputies search the building. "The inside of the building looked like a tornado had hit it. It was trashed," he said. He said that when he first saw Reeves he "was naked and he was on top of a pallet." Under cross-examination by Sergi he testified that he didn't see any of the damage being done. Shelton Police Officer Greg Crivello testified to assisting in the apprehension of the defend- ant. Schuetz then rested for the state. Sergi rested for the defense without calling any witnesses. IN HIS CLOSING remarks Sergi said the state didn't prove that Reeves committed a crime while inside the warehouse. "There was no testimony or any evidence that Mr. Reeves was re- sponsible for the condition the warehouse was found in," Sergi said. The jurors disagreed and found Reeves guilty as charged at the end of the day's proceedings. The jurors were Harry Linker, Jay Ringland, Robert Johnson, Alan McDowell, Amanda Olsen, Eric Eaton, Donald Wass, Amy Richardson, Douglas Moshier, Stacy Johnston, John Canaan and Walter Erickson. Superior Court last week rather than going to trial. In court pro- ceedings on Thursday: • Michele J. Adams, 41, of 2270 Lake Flora Road, Port Orchard, pied guilty to conspiracy to manufacture methampheta- mine. "On June 21st in Mason County I aided another in the manufacture of methampheta- mine," she wrote in the statement that accompanied her guilty plea. Judge Toni Sheldon scheduled sentencing for October 8. • Richard Deno Jr., 43, of Tahuya made an Alford plea of guilty to two counts of child mo- lestation in the second degree. Deano changed his plea to guilty after Deputy Prosecutor Reinhold Schuetz said he would not file 10 more charges of child molestation in the case. An Alford plea means Deno Guilty verdict in one-day trial: Fry burglarized Belfair tow firm, jury decides James Fry, 35, of East 18320 Highway 106, Belfair, was found guilty Tuesday of burglary in the second degree after a one-day trial in Mason County Superior Court. Testimony lasted about two hours in the afternoon after jury selection. Deputy Prosecutor Scott Kee called two witnesses to the stand and defense attorney Ronald Sergi rested the case for Fry without calling any witness- es. Judge Toni Sheldon scheduled sentencing for October 21. FRY WAS ARRESTED on August 6 after an employee saw him in Belfair Paint and Tow af- ter closing time. The business is now a towing.company at NE 23589 State Route 3, Belfair. Kee called William Mathes of Belfair to testify as the state's first witness. He said he'd been working at the shop on August 5 and that he returned there short- ly after 2 a.m. on August 6. "I'd been out drinking so I stopped there instead of driving home. I slept there," Mathes said. At Kee's request he drew a dia- gram of the office area. He said he used his key to get in through the front door and locked it be- hind him and then went to sleep upstairs for a couple of hours. - "What woke me up is I heard a noise," he said HE SAID WHEN he went downstairs he saw Fry standing by the office where the owner and the manager kept their desks. "He was taking off a stocking mask," he said. He said he's known Fry for a few years and considered him a friend. He said Fry would help one of the other employees with auto body work. According to Mathes, the defendant admitted that he was in some trouble. "He said he was coming to get a wind- shield for his girlfriend's car," Mathes said. Mathes said Fry told him he had jumped over a fence around the body shop and had broken in a door with a crowbar. "The frame and the latch on it was broken," Mathes said. Mathes said he then called the Mason County Sheriffs Office first and then called John Ring, the owner of the shop. He said that deputies got there before Ring. Under cross-examination by Sergi he said that he and Fry were friends and that when he saw him there were no lights on in the office and the office door was closed. He also testified that his statement to the deputies made no mention of a windshield. KEE THEN CALLED Ring to the stand. He said that he had about eight people working there in August and that Mathes was a part-time employee. "Bill called me from my shop and he told me he had just caught Jim Fry breaking in," he said. Ring said that Fry worked at the shop on occasion and that Mathes was giving a statement to a sheriffs deputy when he arrived at the shop. Ring said he inspect- ed the shop and found a door pried open and the fence smashed down by a big plank that was ly- ing on it. Ring testified that he checked his desk and found that two sets of keys and an envelope with $300 in it were missing. Under cross-examination by Sergi he testified that the door from his shop to his office is not locked and that Fry didn't keep any tools at the shop. "I don't ever recall Mr. Fry having his own tools," Ring said. AT THIS POINT the state rested and so did the defense. In his closing remarks Kee said that having an intention to com- mit a crime is one of the elements of burglary in the second degree. Without intent a defendant might otherwise be convicted of the less- o pnOu-e--or court roun00u-:Ll p er crime of criminal trespass in the first degree. "It's the state's position that all Two identified the factors were there to indicate on that he was there to commit a potential charges A Belfair man was identified Tuesday in Mason County Superi- or Court in an investigation of burglary in the second degree. Judge Toni Sheldon found probable cause for the arrest of William Blaine Whitehead, 35, of 23171 NE State Route 3, Bel- fair. She appointed Ronald Sergi to be his defense attorney and set bail at $5,000. Arraignment was scheduled for October 21. Whitehead was arrested Mon- day after a deputy from the Ma- son County Sheriff's Office re- sponded to the report of a bur- glary at 19550 State Route 106 near Belfair. Also on Tuesday: * Tracy J. Kepner, 21, of Judge Sheldon appointed Sergi to be her defense attorney and found probable cause for her ar- rest. Kepner was arrested early Tuesday morning after sheriffs deputies responded to a report of domestic violence at 7200 Grape- view Loop Road, Grapeview. She allegedly trashed the house and smashed the windshield of a car owned by Joseph Allen, according to the arresting officer's state- ment of probable cause. The judge ordered Kepner released on per- sonal recognizance pending ar- raignment on October 21. crime. If he was there commit a crime you have to find him guilty of burglary in the second degree," Kee said. In his closing statement Sergi questioned the reliability of Mathes' testimony. "He testified that he was there to sleep off a buzz after closing a bar at two o'clock. He was intoxicated," Sergi said. SERGI ALSO said it was dark inside the office that there was no indication that anything had been touched. The jurors were James Stew- art, Lorraine McCully, Roy Fear, Edwin Jouper, Johnny Erec, Leigh Bacharach, Burton Dun- can, James Madsen, Richard An- derson, Ellen Wright, N.E.

He said that when he first saw Reeves he "was naked and he was on top of a pallet." Under cross-examination by Sergi he testified that he didn't see any of the damage being done. Shelton Police Officer Greg Crivello testified to assisting in the apprehension of the defend- ant. Schuetz then rested for the state. Sergi rested for the defense without calling any witnesses. IN HIS CLOSING remarks Sergi said the state didn't prove that Reeves committed a crime while inside the warehouse. "There was no testimony or any evidence that Mr. Reeves was re- sponsible for the condition the warehouse was found in," Sergi said. The jurors disagreed and found Reeves guilty as charged at the end of the day's proceedings. The jurors were Harry Linker, Jay Ringland, Robert Johnson, Alan McDowell, Amanda Olsen, Eric Eaton, Donald Wass, Amy Richardson, Douglas Moshier, Stacy Johnston, John Canaan and Walter Erickson. Superior Court last week rather than going to trial. In court pro- ceedings on Thursday: • Michele J. Adams, 41, of 2270 Lake Flora Road, Port Orchard, pied guilty to conspiracy to manufacture methampheta- mine. "On June 21st in Mason County I aided another in the manufacture of methampheta- mine," she wrote in the statement that accompanied her guilty plea. Judge Toni Sheldon scheduled sentencing for October 8. • Richard Deno Jr., 43, of Tahuya made an Alford plea of guilty to two counts of child mo- lestation in the second degree. Deano changed his plea to guilty after Deputy Prosecutor Reinhold Schuetz said he would not file 10 more charges of child molestation in the case. An Alford plea means Deno Guilty verdict in one-day trial: Fry burglarized Belfair tow firm, jury decides James Fry, 35, of East 18320 Highway 106, Belfair, was found guilty Tuesday of burglary in the second degree after a one-day trial in Mason County Superior Court. Testimony lasted about two hours in the afternoon after jury selection. Deputy Prosecutor Scott Kee called two witnesses to the stand and defense attorney Ronald Sergi rested the case for Fry without calling any witness- es. Judge Toni Sheldon scheduled sentencing for October 21. FRY WAS ARRESTED on August 6 after an employee saw him in Belfair Paint and Tow af- ter closing time. The business is now a towing.company at NE 23589 State Route 3, Belfair. Kee called William Mathes of Belfair to testify as the state's first witness. He said he'd been working at the shop on August 5 and that he returned there short- ly after 2 a.m. on August 6. "I'd been out drinking so I stopped there instead of driving home. I slept there," Mathes said. At Kee's request he drew a dia- gram of the office area. He said he used his key to get in through the front door and locked it be- hind him and then went to sleep upstairs for a couple of hours. - "What woke me up is I heard a noise," he said HE SAID WHEN he went downstairs he saw Fry standing by the office where the owner and the manager kept their desks. "He was taking off a stocking mask," he said. He said he's known Fry for a few years and considered him a friend. He said Fry would help one of the other employees with auto body work. According to Mathes, the defendant admitted that he was in some trouble. "He said he was coming to get a wind- shield for his girlfriend's car," Mathes said. Mathes said Fry told him he had jumped over a fence around the body shop and had broken in a door with a crowbar. "The frame and the latch on it was broken," Mathes said. Mathes said he then called the Mason County Sheriffs Office first and then called John Ring, the owner of the shop. He said that deputies got there before Ring. Under cross-examination by Sergi he said that he and Fry were friends and that when he saw him there were no lights on in the office and the office door was closed. He also testified that his statement to the deputies made no mention of a windshield. KEE THEN CALLED Ring to the stand. He said that he had about eight people working there in August and that Mathes was a part-time employee. "Bill called me from my shop and he told me he had just caught Jim Fry breaking in," he said. Ring said that Fry worked at the shop on occasion and that Mathes was giving a statement to a sheriffs deputy when he arrived at the shop. Ring said he inspect- ed the shop and found a door pried open and the fence smashed down by a big plank that was ly- ing on it. Ring testified that he checked his desk and found that two sets of keys and an envelope with $300 in it were missing. Under cross-examination by Sergi he testified that the door from his shop to his office is not locked and that Fry didn't keep any tools at the shop. "I don't ever recall Mr. Fry having his own tools," Ring said. AT THIS POINT the state rested and so did the defense. In his closing remarks Kee said that having an intention to com- mit a crime is one of the elements of burglary in the second degree. Without intent a defendant might otherwise be convicted of the less- o pnOu-e--or court roun00u-:Ll p er crime of criminal trespass in the first degree. "It's the state's position that all Two identified the factors were there to indicate on that he was there to commit a potential charges A Belfair man was identified Tuesday in Mason County Superi- or Court in an investigation of burglary in the second degree. Judge Toni Sheldon found probable cause for the arrest of William Blaine Whitehead, 35, of 23171 NE State Route 3, Bel- fair. She appointed Ronald Sergi to be his defense attorney and set bail at $5,000. Arraignment was scheduled for October 21.

Kepner, 21, of Judge Sheldon appointed Sergi to be her defense attorney and found probable cause for her ar- rest. Kepner was arrested early Tuesday morning after sheriffs deputies responded to a report of domestic violence at 7200 Grape- view Loop Road, Grapeview. She allegedly trashed the house and smashed the windshield of a car owned by Joseph Allen, according to the arresting officer's state- ment of probable cause.

If he was there commit a crime you have to find him guilty of burglary in the second degree," Kee said. In his closing statement Sergi questioned the reliability of Mathes' testimony. "He testified that he was there to sleep off a buzz after closing a bar at two o'clock. He was intoxicated," Sergi said. SERGI ALSO said it was dark inside the office that there was no indication that anything had been touched.
