Court Report

SUPERIOR COURT

John F. Strohmaier, Judge

Criminal Sentencing

Teelah Marie Gould, 25, of Wellpinit, pleaded guilty Sept. 22 to attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle. Her sentence included 13 days jail (credited as served), $800 court costs, and restitution and attorney fees to be determined. The charge involved a Sept. 9 incident that began in Reardan and involved speeds of between 80 and 100 miles per hour. A Reardan patrolman caught up with the suspect vehicle at U.S. 2 and Brooks Road when it went out of control and crashed through a fence at the Deep Creek fire station.

New Criminal Cases

Aaron Arthur Dechand, 37, Edwall and/or Spokane, is charged with eluding a pursuing police vehicle, first-degree malicious mischief, reckless endangerment, third-degree theft and second-degree vehicle prowling in connection with incidents on Sept. 12 in and around Moore Road, SR 231 and Long Lake Road that began with the alleged theft of a gas can and two batteries from a 1977 International flatbed truck and developed into a 23-minute, 25-mile high-speed pursuit that concluded in Stevens County when Dechand, the alleged driver, hit spike strips, went into a ditch and fled on foot into nearby trees, stopping only after jumping over a barbed wire fence. He and a female passenger were apprehended and taken to the Lincoln County Jail. Between phases of the chase, after his patrol car had almost been rammed, the pursuing deputy ordered the suspect from his vehicle with his service weapon drawn, but the vehicle managed to speed away from the vicinity of Long Lake Dam, taking out a gate that remained lodged underneath the vehicle until the pursuit concluded. About $3,230 damage was reported.
