Support sought for family of man killed in crash caused by fleeing suspect in Thurston County
A Go Fund Me campaign has been launched for the family of an Olympia man who was killed Thursday night by a driver fleeing from law enforcement. That man has been identified by the Thurston County Coroner as 33-year-old Dane A. Nielsen. So far, more than $10,000 of a $50,000 goal has been raised, according to the fundraising site. "Hey guys, one of my best friends really needs some love and support. Her and her two kiddos unexpectedly lost their dad to a tragic accident last night," the campaign reads. "Harlow and her kids are the most beautiful and kind family and deserve every ounce of support and kindness." About 10 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14, a Thurston County Sheriff's deputy witnessed a vehicle being driven recklessly on Yelm Highway. The driver was clocked going 62 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone, The Olympian reported. The deputy attempted to make a traffic stop, but the person fled west on Yelm Highway. The deputy pursued the driver south on Henderson Boulevard, and then the deputy began to lose sight of the vehicle. The deputy fully lost sight once the driver turned west onto Tumwater Boulevard, according to The Olympian. When the deputy approached Capitol Boulevard, the deputy discovered a crash scene involving the suspect and an uninvolved motorist, later identified as Nielsen, The Olympian reported. Nielsen died at the scene. The 30-year-old man accused of causing the crash was arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide and eluding a police vehicle. The suspect was identified by the state patrol as Matthew R. Orr, of Winlock. ___ (c)2024 The Olympian (Olympia, Wash.)

18-year-old arrested in connection to robbery, kidnapping at Thurston County marijuana business
An 18-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of seven criminal offenses in connection with a kidnapping and burglary that took place at a Tumwater marijuana business in April, The Olympian learned Sunday. "We have one of the seven suspects arrested," said Tumwater Police Lt. Jen Kolb. She said he was the only suspect not to wear a mask during the incident. About 3:20 a.m. April 5, police were dispatched to the 1000 block of 85th Avenue Southeast, near the Olympia Regional Airport. When police arrived, they found an unoccupied vehicle still running and a broken window, The Olympian reported. Suspecting a break in, police set up a perimeter and called on an Olympia police dog to search the area. No suspects were found. Later, a representative of the pot business showed up and asked, "Where's the security guard?" That prompted police to review video footage that showed that the 23-year-old security guard had been abducted, The Olympian reported. Minutes later, though, the guard showed up on foot and explained what had happened to him. Between 2 and 3 a.m., the guard was on duty, sitting in his vehicle, The Olympian reported. He saw two vehicles in the area, which he thought was strange for a dead-end street. Then both vehicles entered the business' property, one of them blocking the security guard's car. Seven men then emerged from the cars, including some armed with guns. Three of them got into the security guard's car and drove south on Old Highway 99 with him for about two miles. The guard was then pulled out of the car and ordered to the ground. The suspects got spooked by a northbound vehicle and drove away, leaving the guard at the scene, The Olympian reported. Meanwhile, the four remaining suspects burglarized the pot production facility and then left. Following the incident, Tumwater police released information about the identifiable suspect and charges were referred to the Thurston County Prosecutor's Office. They issued a warrant for his arrest, Kolb said Sunday. Police in the region identified the man, then he was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals, she said. The suspect was turned over to Tumwater police on Nov. 14. According to jail information, the man has been booked on suspicion of first-degree burglary while armed with a deadly weapon; first-degree kidnapping while armed; theft of a motor vehicle; possession of a stolen vehicle; theft of a firearm; felony harassment/threat to kill while armed with a firearm; and first-degree robbery while armed with a deadly weapon. ___ (c)2024 The Olympian (Olympia, Wash.)

Zion Bischoff, a passenger, died from his injuries at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center, WSP said in a news release. At 7:20 a.m., Stephen Powers was driving south on the highway approaching Babb Road when he lost control on the ice, WSP said. The semitruck and trailer he was driving jackknifed across the northbound lanes and Stephen Bischoff, driving north in a 2023 Mazda CX-50 with Zion Bischoff, struck the semi in the northbound lane. The Mazda was pushed into another northbound lane, striking two other northbound vehicles, troopers said. Meanwhile, Powers' semi trailer struck another semi trailer, which was parked on the shoulder, and pushed the parked vehicle into a rock wall. Stephen Bischoff, 44, of Pullman, was taken to Sacred Heart before being treated and released from the hospital, according to WSP. Stephen Bischoff was wearing a seat belt and Zion Bischoff was not. No one else was injured. Troopers are investigating potential charges against Powers, 68, of Spokane Valley. Drugs or alcohol were not involved. ___ (c)2024 The Spokesman-Review (Spokane, Wash.)
