took hold of her hand to keep her
from falling while Deputy Trevor
Severance walked on her other
side. She asked Ellis to let go and
when he did, she allegedly took a

ricer Daniel Patton of the Shelton
Police Department, who said he
was responding to a report at 1:37
of a fight in progress in a parking
lot in the 300 block of Railroad Av-
enue.
Patton said he saw Cervantes
with a torn shirt, detained him in
the investigation of a possible as-
sault and confirmed he had war-
rants on financial obligations from
Mason County Juvenile Court.
Due to his level of intoxication,
Cervantes was taken to Mason
General Hospital. On the way to
the jail the officer said he saw Cer-
vantes make furtive movements in
the back seat of the patrol vehicle.
Patton allegedly found a small
plastic baggie which contained
a white crystal substance which
field-tested positive for meth in
the back seat of the patrol vehicle.

over" from drinking the night be-
fore. She claimed he began rub-
bing her back, legs and buttocks
and then they had intercourse.
She said he was not violent and
that during the rape he was trying
not to wake her up. She told the
detective she kept falling asleep
"in the middle of it."
Campbell told "E.K.J." to have
a rape kit taken at Mason General
Hospital. Callantine consented to
genetic testing. The results came
back on November 5 from the
Washington State Crime Labora-
tory and matched CaUantine's ge-

set bail at $5,000 and scheduled
arra!gnment for December 17. He

ricers reportedly found 11 firearms
and 1.5 pounds of pot during the
search.
On November 27 a police op-
erative working with WestNET al-
legedly purchased an ounce of pot
from Mashburn at his residence.
Officers indicated Mashburn is
prohibited from having firearms
as a result of a conviction for do-
mestic violence.

sponding to a report around 2 p.m.

lude from the NAPA parking lot

A witness reported seeing a
white male driving the vehicle.
The Honda was spotted on the
Skokomish Reservation with three
occupants and a pursuit began,
continuing on State Route 106
with the vehicle spinning out on
Webb Hill Road. Deputy Jason Sis-
son of the Mason County Sheriffs
Office reported seeing two men
and a woman flee into the woods.
He set up a perimeter and called
for a K-9 unit. At about 3:19 p.m.
Garner came out of the woods and
was arrested. The two men were
not located and the dog tracking
was terminated just before 5 p.m.
Garner did not identify the men
but reportedly did tell officers they
picked her up near Wal-Mart in
Shelton.
Judge Toni Sheldon appointed
Foley as defense attorney, set bail
at $2,500 and scheduled arraign-
ment for December 17. She or-
dered Garner to have no contact

the two men in the car.

Loppnow, his fianc6e.
Officers said Loppnow called
the Shelton Communications Cen-
ter at 12:48 a.m. on December 5
and said Marsh was intoxicated
and beating her up. Deputy Tra-
vis Clark reported she said he at-
tacked her for no reason and "vio-
lent spontaneous behavior was
normal" for Marsh when he was
drinking.
Marsh allegedly grabbed her on
her neck with his arms and told
her she was not leaving. She said
he pulled her into the bedroom
with his arm still around her neck,
pinned her down on the bed with
his body weight and began punch-
ing her, at least 12 times. He alleg-
edly pulled out the phone lines in
the bedroom and living room when
she attempted to call for help and
pulled off her jeans and under-
pants so she could not leave.
She said she ran to a neighbor,
Linda Putnam, who gave her some
jeans and that she called 911 from
the neighbor's residence. John
Pals, a volunteer firefighter and
the pastor of Matlock Community
Church, was the first person to
provide aid to her. Marsh report-
edly claimed he had been assault-
ed by Loppnow.
Judge Sheldon appointed Sergi
as defense attorney, set bail at
$10,000 and said if Marsh posts
bail he must provide an address
to officers at the Mason County
Jail. She ordered Marsh to have
no contact With Loppnow, Putnam
or Pals. Marsh is scheduled for ar-
raignment on December 14.
Also on December 5, a man and
woman arrested after a traffic stop
appeared in court on potential
drug charges.

Narcotics Enforcement Team
served a search warrant at his
residence on Matthews Drive. Of-
ricers reportedly found 11 firearms
and 1.5 pounds of pot during the
search.
On November 27 a police op-
erative working with WestNET al-
legedly purchased an ounce of pot
from Mashburn at his residence.
Officers indicated Mashburn is
prohibited from having firearms
as a result of a conviction for do-
mestic violence.
Judge Sawyer set bail at $2,500
and scheduled arraignment for
December 17. Mashburn said he
would hire an attorney.
On Thursday, December 6:
Akasha Leigh Garner, 19,
of 61 SE Fagergren Road, Shelton,
was identified in an investigation
of possession of stolen property in
the first degree and taking a mo-
tor vehicle without owner's per-
mission.
She was arrested December 5
by law enforcement officers re-
sponding to a report around 2 p.m.
of the theft of a black Honda Pre-
lude from the NAPA parking lot
on Olympic Highway North.
A witness reported seeing a
white male driving the vehicle.
The Honda was spotted on the
Skokomish Reservation with three
occupants and a pursuit began,
continuing on State Route 106
with the vehicle spinning out on
Webb Hill Road. Deputy Jason Sis-
son of the Mason County Sheriffs
Office reported seeing two men
and a woman flee into the woods.
He set up a perimeter and called
for a K-9 unit. At about 3:19 p.m.
Garner came out of the woods and
was arrested. The two men were
not located and the dog tracking
was terminated just before 5 p.m.
Garner did not identify the men
but reportedly did tell officers they
picked her up near Wal-Mart in
Shelton.
Judge Toni Sheldon appointed
Foley as defense attorney, set bail
at $2,500 and scheduled arraign-
ment for December 17. She or-
dered Garner to have no contact
with the potential codefendants,
the two men in the car.
On Wednesday, December 5:
Edward Robert Marsh IV,
31, of 201 West Blueberry Road,
Elma, was identified in an inves-
tigation of assault in the second
degree. He is suspected of do-
mestic violence against Kristy L.
Loppnow, his fianc6e.
Officers said Loppnow called
the Shelton Communications Cen-
ter at 12:48 a.m. on December 5
and said Marsh was intoxicated
and beating her up. Deputy Tra-
vis Clark reported she said he at-
tacked her for no reason and "vio-
lent spontaneous behavior was
normal" for Marsh when he was
drinking.
Marsh allegedly grabbed her on
her neck with his arms and told
her she was not leaving. She said
he pulled her into the bedroom
with his arm still around her neck,
pinned her down on the bed with
his body weight and began punch-
ing her, at least 12 times. He alleg-
edly pulled out the phone lines in
the bedroom and living room when
she attempted to call for help and
pulled off her jeans and under-
pants so she could not leave.
She said she ran to a neighbor,
Linda Putnam, who gave her some
jeans and that she called 911 from
the neighbor's residence. John
Pals, a volunteer firefighter and
the pastor of Matlock Community
Church, was the first person to
provide aid to her. Marsh report-
edly claimed he had been assault-
ed by Loppnow.
Judge Sheldon appointed Sergi
as defense attorney, set bail at
$10,000 and said if Marsh posts
bail he must provide an address
to officers at the Mason County
Jail. She ordered Marsh to have
no contact With Loppnow, Putnam
or Pals. Marsh is scheduled for ar-
raignment on December 14.
Also on December 5, a man and
woman arrested after a traffic stop
appeared in court on potential
drug charges.
