Jordan Bowers, who pled guilty in the case against her for Child Endangerment was serving her sentence at the Washington Correctional Center and was released from the center after serving that sentence.

The Grays Harbor County Undersheriff Brad Johansson says this morning that upon her release, she was arrested by detectives for identity theft. 

On January 15th, 2023 Jordan Bowers was released from the Washington Correctional Center for Women after serving her sentence for child endangerment.

 The Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office had submitted an investigation to the Grays Harbor Prosecutor's Office for Identity Theft and Fraud. Grays Harbor Prosecutors filed criminal charges for these offenses. Arrest warrants were issued for three counts of Identity Theft in the First Degree (class B felony) and one count of Identity Theft in the Second Degree (class C felony). 

Upon her release, Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office detectives took her into custody, and she was booked into the Grays Harbor County jail. 

These charges stem from complaints from multiple victims who experienced fraudulent banking activity. After the investigation was completed, Jordan Bowers was identified as the primary suspect.

What seems to be an common occurrence now days, another DUI driver caused an incident on State Route 12 just outside of Montesano going the wrong way in the wrong lanes.  A second that we have heard of in this location in 2 weeks. 

The Washington State Patrol says that on January 13th, 2023 at 7:31 PM a 31-year-old Deming Washington woman driving a 2004 Honda Pilot was traveling eastbound State Route 12 in the westbound lanes near mile marker 10 (between Devonshire RD and Main St. exit to SR 107) in Lane one (slow lane going westbound, left lane for her going eastbound).  The 31-year-old then struck 2 other vehicles that were traveling in the correct direction (westbound) a 2012 Dodge Ram and a 2023 Acura MDX.  

The 31-year-old Deming woman was transported to Community Hospital for her injuries.  The driver of the 2012 Dodge Ram, a 72-year-old Yakima man and his passenger a 71-year-old Yakima woman were taken to Summit Pacific for their injuries.  The driver of the Acura, a 54 Auburn woman was also taken to Summit Pacific for her injuries. 
The 31-year-old Deming woman is being charged with DUI, 

On January 11, 2023 at about 3pm, the Grays Harbor Drug Task Force (GHDTF) served a Search Warrant at 7-Eleven located at 411 S. Boone Street in Aberdeen. 

The Search Warrant was served after a five-week investigation into an employee of the store selling fentanyl pills and methamphetamine at the location. The store was temporarily closed until detectives and officers cleared the scene.

The suspect arrested was, a thirty-four-year-old male who resides in Hoquiam. The suspect’s residence was also searched as part of the investigation, as were several vehicles belonging to him.

The suspect was booked into the GH County Jail for illegal drug possession with intent to deliver. The suspect’s girlfriend, a twenty-five-year-old Aberdeen resident, arrived at the scene at 7-Eleven during the Search Warrant and was also arrested on a separate drug distribution charge. She had in her possession 21 grams of methamphetamine and 71.5 grams of marijuana. She, too, was booked into the GH County Jail for illegal drug possession with intent to deliver. The investigation is still on going. 7-Eleven's management is cooperating with the investigation.

The Ocean Shores Police Department took to a social media post this morning advising that one of their officers was assaulted by a female transient in the afternoon of January 10th, 2023 

They say that just after 3:30 PM on January 10th, OSPD units were dispatched to the area behind the Pirate's Cove Pub for a report of a disorderly female yelling and screaming in the roadway.

Upon the arrival of two officers, they recognized the female, a 38-year-old woman experiencing homelessness, from previous contacts. As officers attempted to speak with the woman, she became verbally aggressive. Officers tried to de-escalate the situation, but the woman immediately began to punch one of the officers, striking him on the neck with her fist and also burning him on the neck with a cigarette. 

Both officers then took the woman to the ground and handcuffed her. The woman was ultimately taken to the Grays Harbor County Jail, where she was booked for the assault on the officer. 

The officer did not sustain significant injury, and he was able to complete his shift.

 The same woman was contacted during a trespassing incident by OSPD officers on 01/09/23 at the Sands Resort. At that time, there was an active warrant for her arrest for Assault 3rd degree, a felony-level crime of violence, issued by the Grays Harbor County Sheriff's Department. Officers contacted the Grays Harbor County Jail in an attempt to serve the warrant by arresting the woman, but they were advised that the jail would not accept her for the warrant based on current restrictions at the facility.

It should be noted that this was the same woman mentioned in a previous post when she assaulted an OSPD officer on 05/16/21. The victim officer in that assault sustained a significant injury to his hand. There was also a report of her attacking a Hoquiam officer during an incident on 04/10/22.
