Good morning, Pasco.

Benton County sheriff’s deputies said a single vehicle crash near 27th and Oak St in east Kennewick damaged about 25 feet of wooden fencing and led to a DUI arrest — officials ask drivers to avoid the area for about one hour.

A pick-up truck caught fire on I-182 westbound near the interchange with Highways 395 and 397 at about 3:40 p.m. on August 28—first responders put out the flames as traffic backed up along Pasco-Kahlotus Road and one person was taken to hospital.

The Kennewick Police Department executed a search warrant yesterday in the 10000 block of Ridgeline Drive and detained 18-year-old Ramiro Campos-Castro while Tri-City Regional SWAT, the METRO Drug Task Force, and KPD detectives supported the operation—recovering a stolen firearm—and booked him on charges of unlawful and stolen firearm possession.

Dr. Mark Mulholland, who worked at Kadlec for over 20 years, is facing lawsuits that allege sexual assault and unneeded medical procedures as 19 complaints have been filed since 2003 and the Washington Medical Commission is investigating his actions—court proceedings are expected.
