Court Report

SUPERIOR COURT

John F. Strohmaier, Judge

Criminal Sentencing

Karmaneha Jordan, 44, of Davenport, pleaded guilty Feb. 16 to attempted second-degree assault (amended through plea negotiations from second-degree assault) in connection with a June 28, 2015, incident at a Logan Street residence in Davenport during which a man was “severely” beaten and kicked about the back, ear, mouth and feet with a five-foot stick, a baseball bat and a sling shot. She must serve 45 days in jail and 18 months probation, pay $860 court costs and an undetermined restitution, comply with a no-contact order protecting the victim, and have no firearms or other dangerous weapons. Two other defendants Marlie Lynn Rose and Kevin Curtis Hilliard, offered guilty pleas to fourth-degree assault late last year and received separate sentences.

New Criminal Cases

Charles Edward Pearson, 51, of Spokane and/or Cheney, and Jason Lee Priest, 45, are both charged with second-degree burglary, first-degree theft and first-degree malicious mischief in connection with the taking of more than $5,000 worth of copper conduit, hardware and wire from a building owned by American Tower Corp. on Macabee Road near Sprague between March 1 and May 8 of last year. The property owner estimated the cost of repairing the facility at $33,880. The same charges were previously filed against Corey Lynn Butler, 44, of Airway Heights and/or Spokane; Corey Lynn West, 26, of Airway Heights, Spokane and/or Yakima; Justin Henry Galles, 29, and Patricia Marie Doree (Bruns), 51, both of Spokane.

New Civil Cases

The parents of an 18-year-old Davenport woman who suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome were appointed as temporary full co-guardians on Feb. 9 while the court considers their request to make that designation permanent. The petitioners withdrew a related matter asking that their daughter be identified as a “vulnerable adult” after expressing concern about her associations and the inability of law enforcement to become involved because she is of legal age, unless guardianship is awarded to them.

A Feb. 23 hearing was set to consider a request by Douglas R. Hemmerling, of Odessa, for a domestic violence protection order against Kristina I. Goetz.

The City of Sprague requests the court to declare it acted appropriately to delay fulfillment of a Dec. 8, 2015, public records request from Jeffrey Smith, of Sprague, for materials that may concern a former city employee placed in an envelope marked “confidential” that has remained unopened for more than 10 years. The city requests the court’s permission to withhold release while it consults with a California-based computer forensics firm and for a determination as to what may be disclosed in compliance with the state Public Records Act without the city having any possible criminal liability.
