ACCIDENT BRIEFS
Two injured after
driver falls asleep
The hazards of drowsy driving were
illustrated last week when a vehicle
went off the road in Mason County,
sending its driver and passenger to the
hospital.
Olympia resident Michael J. Coluc-
cio, 40, was driving a 2003 Ford Ex-
pedition on Nov. 6 with 47-year-old
Centralia resident Misty A. Rains as
his passenger. They were southbound
on US. Highway 101 when the truck
left the road to the right, went down a
30-foot embankment and struck sever-
al trees, according to the Washington
State Patrol.
The cause of the accident, accord-
ing to the WSP, was Coluccio falling
asleep at the wheel. The accident oc-
curred'around 8:30pm. Both he and
Rains were injured and taken by aid
car to Mason General Hospital, where
they were treated and released.
The WSP determined neither drugs
nor alcohol were involved in the acci-
dent, but the truck Coluccio was driv-
ing had to be towed away.
Rollover at Sunset
Beach on Route 106

out being buckled up, a driver from
Union was treated and released from
St. Michael Medical Center in Bremer-
ton the same morning he had his ac-
cident in Mason County.

in a 2004 Mercury Mountaineer at
3:52 am. on Nov. 10 on state, Route

and rolled over.

termined drugs or alcohol weren’t

Burglars hit Chamber, title
company oflice 0n Railroad

The folks at 215 W. Railroad Ave. in
Shelton got a nasty shock when they
returned from their weekends to find
their offices burglarized.
The first to discover the intrusion
was Nels Jorgenson, county messen-
ger and title officer for the Olympic Ti-
tle Escrow Co. Jorgenson returned
to his workplace on the morning of
Nov. 2, the day before the Shelton-
Mason County Chamber of Commerce
reopened for the week.
Chamber Executive Director Heidi
McCutcheon returned to the cham-
ber offices Nov. 4 and spoke with the
Shelton-Mason County Journal at that
time.
“It appears the thieves were inter-
rupted in the midst of their heist,” Mc—
Cutcheon said. “A television that had
been set up in our conference room
was lying in the hallway with a plastic
tablecloth covering it.”
Shelton Police dusted for finger-
prints, but they determined the TV
was handled by someone wearing 1a-
tex gloves.
McCutcheon reported that the
Chamber’s file cabinets and other stor-
age units were locked, so sensitive in-
formation was not taken.
“Our computers are still here and
undamaged, although they did man- I
age‘to get our tablets, keyboards and
charging station, which seems typi-
cal,” McCutcheon said. “There were
some items taken that seemed out of
the ordinary. Deidre’s snacks were
stolen —— apparently, her’s are better
than mine and my Mr. Coffee mug
warmer is now missing among an as-
sortment of handbags, cameras and
other odds and ends.” .
A locksmith arrived at the offices
to bolster their security, although Mc-
Cutcheon noted there hasn’t been a
burglary at those offices in the past
decade that she’s been here. V
“We’re still making a list of things
that are missing as we discover them,”
McCutcheon said Nov. 4. “When I
joined a Zoom call this morning, I re-
alized my webcam was gone, and this
afternoon, I realized my manicure set
was missing. At this time, I estimate
the total loss at around $2,000.”
One aspect of downtown Shelton
that McCutcheon said she appreciates
is how rare she’s found such breaking
and entering incidents to be, particu-
larly for occupied commercial build-
ings.
“Less than a handful of events come
to mind,” McCutcheon said. “Shoplift-
ing is more common.”
Anyone with information on the
burglary can contact Shelton Police
Detective Jason Lawson at 360-432-
5138.
