court schedule
Shelton's Benjamin Joshua Solano,
accused of three crimes in two cases
in Mason County Superior Court,
received a new schedule for court ap-
pearances Tuesday during court pro-
ceedings.
Though specific details had yet to
be posted to the county's online court-
reporting portal, Solano, 21, recently
posted $5,000 bond for his release
from Mason County
Jail. Because he
was no longer in
custody, Judge Am-
ber Finlay sched-
uled Solano's pre-
trial management
hearings for Dec. 17
and his jury trials
to begin the week of
Solano Jan. 8.
Solano faces a
second-degree arson charge, stemming
from a small July 27 brushfire that
caused no injuries or damage to struc-
tures and was contained to less than
two acres in the Agate area north of
Shelton. The Mason County Sheriffs
Office accuses Solano and his girl-
friend, Taylor Nicole Barrett, of having
started the fire by throwing lit fire-
works out the window of a moving car.
Solano was arrested a second time
on Oct. 18 and authorities charged
him with first-degree stolen property
trafficking and second-degree vehicle
prowling after Solano reportedly at-
tempted to sell stolen items in an cell-
phone marketplace app.
Solano faces up to 10 years in pris-
on and/or a $20,000 fine for the stolen
property trafficking charge and 364
days in jail and/or a $5,000 fine for
the vehicle prowl charge.
Autumn Marie Berman, who alleg-
edly attempted to escape confinement
Oct. 5 from Mason County Jail by dig-
ging her way through ceiling tiles in the
shower stall of her cell with a plastic
eating utensil, faces a pending charge of
second-degree malicious mischief.
Judge Daniel Goodell found prob-
able cause Nov. 8 to charge the
32-year-old Belfair woman with the
crime after the Mason County Pros-
ecutor's office filed the pendifi g charge
the day before.
According to a Mason County Sher-
iffs Office investigation report, Ber-
man was allegedly seen by another
inmate between 8 and 9 a.m. digging
into the ceiling with a spoon and jail-
issued shoes. Upon investigation,
a jail deputy reportedly discovered
a "white chalky substance on the
damaged spoon as well as on orange
sandals he located near the bunk as-
signed to Berman."
During the ini-
tial investigation,
Berman reportedly
~ ran to an office and
grabbed a correc-
tions radio. When
questioned about
the damage to her
cell, Berman re-
portedly answered,
Berman "news to me."
No date for
Berman's pending arraignment hearing
was posted to the county's online
court-reporting portal as of the Shelton-
Mason County Journal's deadline.
Berman faces residential burglary
and obstructing a law enforcement of-
ricer charges stemming from her Oct.
2 arrest at a residence on Northeast
Mission Creek Road in Belfair.
