Synopsis:
On 10-18-2014, at approximately 3:53 PM, Richland firefighters responded to a call of a possible structure fire at 2555 Duportail. Upon arrival RFD personnel found smoke coming from one of the apartments in the G complex. After locating the affected residence, they were confronted by Aguayo who was inside the apartment. They identified themselves as RFD and Aguayo attempted to assault them. He was restrained by the firefighters who summoned assistance from RPD staff. Richland Police responded and arrested Aguayo who was still inside the apartment structure.
The investigation showed that Aguayo was living in the area temporarily as part of a construction crew.

Suspect: Hill, Jason
D; 34 year of age male; Richland resident
Charges: Threats to
bomb
At 12:40 today a subject in the Kadlec hospital triage area
became disruptive. After storming out of
the hospital he began yelling that he had a bomb and was going to blow up the
facility. The suspect, later identified
as Hill, left the area on foot. The
description given by staff included information that he was wearing a camouflage hoody and had a
black backpack on his chest.
Security camera footage matched a photograph in the police
records data base and a positive ID was made on Hill. At 12:57 officers located him near the
intersection of Thayer and Williams. He
complied with commands to place his backpack and hoody on the ground and was
taken into custody.
The Richland Police Bomb Squad responded and used an X-ray

Hill was transported to the Benton County jail and booked on
the above charge.
