We have an update to a "shots fired" call that was first put out on our GHScanner APP and social media accounts.  

The Grays Harbor County Sheriffs Office is investigating the incident and this is what we have from Undersheriff Brad Johannson 

According to a Washington State Patrol accident report, high speed was the cause of a motorcyclist going down and crashing on State Route 105 near milepost 31 (north of Montesano St S) on Saturday. 

The accident occurred at 6:45 when a 20-year-old Aberdeen man was northbound on State Route 105 riding a grey 2007 Yamaha YZFR6 spots bike at a high rate of speed.  The rider applied brakes as he started to lose control and the motorcycle went down on its side ejecting the rider.  Both the rider and the motorcycle ended up in the northbound lane. 

The Aberdeen man was transported for his injuries to Community Hospital, and is being charged with reckless driving. 

We have an update this evening to an incident that occured in Aberdeen this afternoon in a domestic situation argument that turned into a standoff, but then was later not one as the suspect was not there but located after that discovery soon after. 

Here is what we have from Commander Dale Green

A 21-year-old Aberdeen resident is in custody this afternoon for Assault 2nd Degree/Domestic Violence.  Around 11:21 AM, Aberdeen officers were dispatched to a report of a family member pointing a handgun at another family member.  Officers arrived as the rest of the family had exited out of the house.  Officers attempted contact with the suspect as it was believed he was still in the residence and armed.  There was no response from the subject and the Aberdeen Regional Crisis Response Unit was activated.  The Aberdeen CRU is comprised of Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Montesano and Cosmopolis Police Officers along with Deputies from the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office.

CRU Negotiators continued to attempt to contact the suspect with negative results.  As CRU Operators were clearing the residence, CRU Negotiators were able to make text and eventual phone contact with the suspect.  The suspect was located in Aberdeen, unarmed, in the 1400 block of Sumner Avenue.  The suspect was arrested and subsequently transported to the Aberdeen Police Department where he was booked for Assault 2nd Degree/DV.  Aberdeen Police Detectives processed the residence and additional charges may be forthcoming.

On Monday afternoon you could see police cars here and police cars everywhere after a hit and run minor injury accident occurred on the Simpson Ave Bridge just after 2:00 pm. 

Here is what the Hoquiam Police Department Released about the incident - 

On May 4, 2020, Hoquiam officers responded to a two-vehicle hit and run collision at the east end of the Simpson Ave Bridge.

Two HHS seniors had just put up their senior posters on the fence at Central Playfield and were traveling down the other side of the Simpson Ave Bridge. As they slowed toward the bottom of the bridge for the stoplight ahead, a small blue car rear-ended them.

 

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.
