Three arrested after trespassing near Hiawatha Lake
Jun. 10—MOSES LAKE — Friday afternoon, three people were arrested after they re-entered the site previously known as Hiawatha Homeless Camp, near Hiawatha Lake, in the 1200 block of North Frontage Road East. "We've had deputies patrolling the area," Grant County Public Information Officer Kyle Foreman said. "They've made contact with people who are found on the property. The Colville Confederated Tribes have made it clear that there shouldn't be anybody on the property. The three arrested Friday are part of the group of people that trespassed last month. So, because they'd already been given a trespass notice last month warning them not to return, they were arrested for second-degree criminal trespassing, which is a misdemeanor." The three arrested included Raymond Lazier, 52; Michelle L. Jenkins, 56; and Joseph R. Jenkins. They were lodged in Grant County Jail for investigation of second-degree criminal trespassing. Foreman said if people return after receiving a warning and a second-degree trespassing citation, they could receive a first-degree trespassing citation, which is a gross misdemeanor. Foreman said this isn't the first call they have received in regard to people being back at the site. He explained the spot has been a problem for the last handful of years, after the county trespassed people from the Moses Lake Sand Dunes. "Hiawatha homeless camp started attracting occupants around the same time that the county trespassed people from the Moses Lake Sand Dunes, a few years ago," Foreman said. "They continued to be a public nuisance and a public safety hazard. Then complaints of crime happening within the homeless camp and crimes being committed by occupants of the homeless camp — including burglaries, other crimes and several fires that started at the camp and threatened nearby property." The property is owned by the Colville Confederated Tribes. Foreman said the Colville Confederated Tribes reached out to GCSO asking for people to be removed from the camp. GCSO deputies, on May 7, showed up to the camp and trespassed on the people living on the land. Prior to the deputies' arrival to trespass people, Foreman said there were more than 50 trailers at the site. "It's the tribe's property and they asked us to help remove people by issuing trespassing notices to help them remove the trespassers from the property," Foreman said. "Last month and over the past couple of weeks, we've received reports of people starting to accumulate again back out at the Hiawatha site." Foreman wants to remind residents that nobody should be out at the property and the tribe has specifically asked for anyone found at the location to be trespassed. "We will continue to patrol the area and make sure if people are found at the property, if they haven't been previously warned, they will be given notice that they're on private property, they shouldn't be here," Foreman said. "If they are someone that we've issued a trespass notice to previously, then they were already warned, and they can be arrested for criminal trespassing." Foreman said if residents of nearby areas notice people located in this area, they should contact 911 and report it.

Former Hatton town clerk-treasurer arrested for theft from town
Jun. 10—Key points: * Jared Potts, former Hatton Clerk-Treasurer, suspected of misappropriating town funds * Turned himself in the Adams County Sheriff's Office on June 6. RITZVILLE — The former Hatton clerk-treasurer and fire chief turned himself in to the Adams County Sheriff's Office on June 6 while under investigation for first-degree theft, first-degree possession of stolen property and seven counts of mail theft. Jared Potts, Lind, allegedly misappropriated town funds and kept town equipment at his home. Adams County Sheriff Dale Wagner said the ACSO served a search warrant at Potts' home last week and found equipment that belonged to the town of Hatton. Potts had agreed to return equipment to the town following an investigation by the Washington State Auditor's Office, Wagner said, but some of it was found at his residence during the search. Concerns about Potts first surfaced in 2023, Wagner said, both from ACSO and from Hatton residents. "We got a few more complaints over a couple of years," Wagner said. Potts ended his employment with Hatton in October 2024. The WSAO report said a possible misappropriation of funds was reported in April 2023 by a former town employee who was working temporarily following the resignation of Hatton's mayor. The report from the WSAO said auditors determined Potts had misappropriated about $72,200 from the town between December 2022 and November 2024. "Additionally, $144,604 in questionable payments occurred between Oct. 25, 2022, and Sept. 20, 2024," the WSAO report said. The clerk-treasurer was one of two part-time employees, and the only one who issued a town credit card, the report said. "Our review of credit card statements identified $15,055 in questionable purchases between Feb. 21, 2023, and July 13, 2023, because the town did not have adequate documentation to show the transactions had a legitimate business purpose," it said. Auditors found about $36,000 paid to Potts as salary in excess of his approved work schedule, as well as cash advances that he hadn't repaid, between December 2022 and October 2024. Potts also acted as the chief of the town's volunteer department, established in December 2023. He applied to federal and state programs for equipment; the department received fire trucks and water tenders, among other pieces of firefighting apparatus. That included defibrillators. Potts allegedly kept a fire vehicle and a defibrillator at his residence, the auditor's report said. He returned the fire truck in September 2024. The defibrillator was found at his residence during the ACSO search. Potts talked to auditors in August 2024 and said he would provide documentation for the financial transactions, but never did, the WSAO report said. Potts continued to have access to Hatton's bank accounts following his resignation from town employ, the report said, and auditors found about $3,600 in payments by Potts from town accounts in October and November 2024.
