Then non-Indian purse seiners and giilnetters arrived in Hood Canal to fish both legally under state regulations and illegally." Larry McFarlane, Shelton, pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of third degree assault when he appeared in Mason County Superior Court before Judge Frank Baker Friday morning. McFarlane had been charged with second degree assault in connection with an incident which occurred last February 2 in which he was charged with pointing a rifle at Jack Sylsberry, a Shelton police patrolman. Deputy Prosecutor Gary Burleson told the court his office was reducing the charge after investigating the case further and finding there was doubt if McFarlane had actually intended to threaten the officer with the gun. McFarlane was given a one-year sentence in the Mason County jail with all except six consecutive weekends suspended. He was also fined $350 and ordered to pay the cost of prosecution. He was also ordered not to possess or use any firearms during the year and to refrain from the use of alcohol outside his own home. Burleson told the court that what had happened was that the police were called to the McFarlane residence by McFarlane's wife after a family argument and that after officers had arrived, McFarlane came out of the house carrying a loaded rifle. He was ordered to put the rifle down and, after some argument, did so. Shelton attorney Gerald Whitcomb, who represented McFadane, told the court that the police had been oiled after a family argument and that there had been drinking involved. He stated McFarlane did not know the officers had surrounded the house when he came out with another man and the other man's children to give them a ride home. Whitcomb said McFarlane stated he was taking the rifle out to put it in the trunk of his car. Whitcomb said McFarlane had turned with the gun still in his hands when the officers had called out to him. The attorney stated that McFarlane had recently obtained a job with the Bremerton Water Department and was doing well there and was planning to move to Bremerton. for larceny Kelley C.
