Raymond Burdette Greene, 44, of Sprague, pleaded guilty Sept. 12 to third-degree assault (amended through plea negotiations from second-degree assault) in connection with a May 12 altercation in Sprague that involved five individuals, leaving one with back and knee injuries. His sentence includes 12 months probation, three months jail, a drug/alcohol evaluation and recommended treatment, $800 court assessments, $450 public defender reimbursement and restitution to be determined.

Jerry Wayne Armstrong, Jr., 41, of Ritzville, pleaded guilty Sept. 12 to attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle on Feb. 8. He was sentenced to 10 days jail with credit for time served and must pay $800 court assessments and $450 public defender reimbursement. The charge involves a response by Odessa Police to a report that a man had been assaulted at Chiefs Bar and Grill. After an intoxicated man drove away and was stopped by an officer at SR 21 and Hoppe Road, he took off again, launching a pursuit to the Adams County line and the driver’s eventual apprehension with the assistance of Adams County officers after the vehicle crashed on King Ranch Road about two miles south of SR 28.
