GRAYS HARBOR, Wash. — The Coast Guard suspended the search Friday for a 47-year-old man who reportedly fell overboard while underway fishing for halibut 28 miles northwest of Grays Harbor.
Missing is Jason LaBrie of Oregon City, Oregon.
On May 8th, 2021, at approximately 9:54 AM, Aberdeen police officers were dispatched to a report of a subject banging on the walls of the Driftwood Playhouse on East 3rd Street. Upon arrival, officers contacted a 63 year-old Aberdeen transient. The suspect was holding lighters and a slightly burned piece of cloth. Several Driftwood Playhouse volunteers were inside the building at the time of call. Officers could see smoke coming from one of the support beams.
The Aberdeen Fire Department was called to the scene twice, first for a porch fire that was quickly extinguished and then a secondary fire was located 10 feet away at another doorway. The fire crews returned to find a minor extension of fire into the flooring of a doorway at the rear of the building. Fire crews overhauled the floor and wall of the doorway to stop the spread of the fire.
The suspect was arrested for arson in the first degree, possession of drug paraphernalia, and criminal trespass 2nd degree. The suspect was transported to the city of Aberdeen Jail then transferred to the Grays Harbor County Jail.
The Coast Guard rescued two hikers from the side of a cliff early Sunday near Hoh Head which is between Queets and Lapush north of Grays Harbor County in the Olympic National Park.
Rescued were Tessa Allen and Reed Farber, both in their 20s.
Olympic National Park Rangers contacted Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound watchstanders at about midnight Sunday requesting air rescue assistance for two people stranded about 60 feet high on a cliff’s ledge after climbing to retreat from rising tides.
