Arrested: Alison Lambie 30 YOA of Richland
Charges: DUI, 2 counts Hit & Run-attended, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, No Valid Operator’s License 1st degree
Synopsis:On 01/29/11, at about 0025 hours, RPD Units responded to a multi-car injury accident at GWW and Columbia Point. Witnesses advised the causative driver had fled the scene onto the Columbia Point Golf Course. Officers found the fleeing vehicle, in the rough, crashed into a tree on the 17th hole. The driver was discovered to be highly intoxicated and injured from the crash, presumably from striking the tree. In addition to the driver’s admissions, the officers discovered physical evidence placing her behind the wheel.
The investigation showed the driver was traveling south on GWW and rear-ended a vehicle stopped for a red light at GWW and Columbia Point. As the driver was attempting to flee, she failed to yield and struck a different vehicle head-on at the same intersection. The driver managed to drive the vehicle east on Columbia Point and then onto Bradley Blvd where she entered onto the Golf Course causing significant damage to the course, specifically to the tee-boxes on hole 17th. The incident finally ended after the driver struck a tree.
The driver was treated for her injuries and was booked into the Benton County Jail on the above listed charges.

Charges: Forgery, ID Theft
Suspect: Vinson, Stephanie; 40 year of age female, Richland Resident
On 11-30-11 members of the Richland PD Street Crimes Unit (SCU) began investigating a fraud case. Two subjects, later identified as Wilkinson and Vinson, had used a counterfeit check to purchase a gift card at the Les Schwab tire store on Stevens Drive.

A search of the premise resulted in the recovery of counterfeit checks (drawn on personal accounts), computers and multiple copies of identities which had been stolen from other people.
After consulting the Benton County Prosecutor's Office, Wilkinson was booked into the Benton County jail. Vinson will have her involvement reviewed and a charge determination made at a future date.

2 Arrested New White Bluffs School
Arrested: Yeater, Darren G.; 21 year of age male, Richland resident
Charge: Felon in possession of a firearm
Arrested: Butler, Sarah R.; 18 year of age female, Kennewick address
Charge: Possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) with the intent to deliver
Synopsis:
On November 16 at approximately 12:30 PM personnel from the Richland Police Department and Benton County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of the 4200 block of Cobblestone Ct in response to a call of a burglary in progress. The resident had come home from a trip and found two people in her house that were not authorized to be there. The victim advised that she had eventually been able to identify one of the subjects as her son, Darren Yeater but that Yeater did not have permission to enter her home in her absence. As a precaution (due to close proximity), White Bluffs elementary school was notified of the occurrence and elected to go into a lockdown status for approximately 15 minutes.
As officers entered the residence to secure it, the victim stated that she had found brass knuckles and bullets in the room Yeater was occupying. Police also observed a revolver, with the hammer cocked, sitting on a dresser. Next to the revolver was a pipe of the type that is normally used for smoking methamphetamine.
Yeater and Butler were both detained as the investigation into the incident continued. Butler initially claimed the pistol that had been found. She stated that she carried it because she deals drugs on the street and needed it for protection.
The victim confirmed that Yeater does not have a key to the house and is not to be there when she is not home. There were no signs of forced entry into the residence and it appears as if the two suspects may have entered via an unlocked garage bay door.
A search warrant was applied for and granted. The search warrant revealed that the revolver found on the dresser was a .22 caliber loaded with 6 rounds. Near where Yeater and Butler had been sitting officers found a bag containing a scale, 15 grams of marijuana, 11 grams of methamphetamine, and 12 pills of hydrocodone. In a second bag officers found small plastic baggies of the type commonly used to package drugs for sale on the street. A third bag was located that contained fifty .22 caliber pistol rounds.
A gray backpack was located and inside the backpack officers found 3 hypodermic needles, gift cards, cell phones and a camera. Finding these types of items in the quantity and location they were in lead the officers to believe that they may be stolen. Butler confirmed that she had exchanged the items in her possession for drugs.
Registration paperwork was found that belonged to a Volkswagen that had been reported stolen on November 14, 2011.
Contact was made with the Benton County Prosecutor’s Office. They authorized a 72 hour hold on Yeater and Butler for the above listed charges. After the investigation is complete they will review the case and determine if any additional charges would be appropriate.
Stating that he was under the influence of methamphetamine, Yeater asked for medical assistance. He was transported to Kadlec hospital for medical clearance. After being cleared both Yeater and Butler were booked into the Benton County jail.

Arrest Made in Ryder Morrison Homicide
Arrested: Jacobsen, Kelli Ann; 26 year of age female, Kennewick address
Charge: 1st Degree Manslaughter
On June 22, 2011 the Richland Police Department began investigating circumstances surrounding the death of 12 month old Ryder Morrison. At the time of Ryder's death Kelli Jacobsen was employed as a nanny.
Jacobsen was present on June 22 and called 911 to request an ambulance. Initial reports provided by Jacobsen to 911 personnel indicated that Ryder had fallen and hit the back of his head. Richland Fire paramedics transported Ryder to Kadlec hospital. Attending medical personnel said that the explanation of falling was not consistent with the presenting injury.
Due to bleeding in the brain, a neurosurgeon was called in to perform surgery. Ryder died as a result of his injuries.
An autopsy was performed. In addition, three other experts in the field were consulted, and provided Ryder’s medical and autopsy records. The report received from those experts found “Given his reported normal level of function reported by mother and the sitter during mother’s lunch break, his injuries almost certainly occurred after mother returned to work from that break”. The doctors also found that on the day of his death, Ryder sustained multiple bruises, severe intracranial and eye bleeding and neck muscle injury. They found that diffuse subdural bleeding such as Ryder sustained normally results from severe whiplash events that can also cause neck muscle and spinal cord bleeding. They concluded that the injuries were not consistent with the reported fall history and that the cause of death was closed head injury.
The results of the investigation have been reviewed by Benton County Prosecutor Andy Miller. Mr. Miller filed an Information in Superior Court today charging Jacobsen with Manslaughter in the First Degree. The Information alleges that Jacobsen recklessly caused the death of Ryder Morrison by inflicting abusive head trauma. The crime was aggravated because Jacobsen knew or should have known that the victim was particularly vulnerable and incapable of resistance due to extreme youth.
Jacobsen, along with her attorney, turned herself in at the Benton County Jail. She is being held on $100,000.00 bail.
A court hearing is scheduled today for 1:30 PM.
