The Aberdeen Police Department has provided an update and information on a domestic assault call they responded to yesterday morning in the downtown area involving a transient and his girlfriend. 

They say that a 25-year-old Grays Harbor Transient is in custody after assaulting his girlfriend with a large stick.  Aberdeen Police Officers were dispatched to a report of a domestic violence assault in progress at a downtown motel around 8:55 AM yesterday morning.  Upon arrival, officers spoke to the female victim in their room.  She was bleeding heavily from a head wound and also sustained a hand injury.    The suspect had fled the scene on foot and officers were searching for him as the Aberdeen Fire Department was called to treat the victim.

According to a Washington State Patrol report a 16-year-old male driving a 2006 Mazda 6 was Driving Under The Influence north of Shelton Thursday morning and went off the roadway striking a tree. 

The collision occurred at 2:15 AM on Thursday, April 30th, 2020 when the 16-year-old was traveling southbound on US 101 near milepost 339 (Purdy Cutoff Road) when the vehicle went off the roadway to the right and struck a tree. 

The teen was transported to Mason General for his injuries as for the cause of the accident itself it is still under investigation and charges are currently pending. 

The Hoquiam Police Department posted on social media (no press release sent out) that they nabbed a porch pirate on Friday with the help of a nearby ring video camera video that had caught a picture of the suspect.  Some of the items stolen included theft of a victims critical medical supplies.

Sometimes they say second time is a charm, and the Grays Harbor County Drug Task Force says that is true for this repeat offender location where they served a second search warrant for alleged illegal drug sales in the 200 block of West 3rd Street in Aberdeen in less than 6 months.
