Hoquiam Police Sgt. Jeff Salstrom says this morning that a Humptulips man is confirmed deceased after a traffic collision at 22nd and Bay this morning just before 2 AM.  Here is more from him on that incident;

On May 25th, this driver made the wrong decision to run from the police when he went up against one of the County K9 Officer who was quickly apprehended in Ocean Shores.

There is no doubt about how busy the Grays Harbor Beaches were yesterday, and sadly with the busier summer times ahead of us Surf Rescue calls (even though we have no surf rescue teams) become more frequent.  A call that first responders never want to hear over the radio, and one a friend, parent or bystander wants to make after so many losses our beaches have already had. 

The Hoquiam Police did not catch their man last night in an incident that Grays Harbor Scanner alerted the community to Friday evening in regards to an armed robbery at the Smoke Town Store in the 3000 block of Simpson Ave.  

Police Chief Jeff Myers is asking for the publics help in regards to information that can lead them to this suspect and that the person should be considered Armed and Dangerous.
