Arrested: Quiqley, Chad P; 38 year of age male, Richland resident
Charge: 3 counts, Theft 1st Degree
Synopsis:
On March 15, 2012 the Richland Police Department investigated a construction site tool theft that occurred in the 2500 block of Columbia Center Blvd. The report indicated someone forced open a cargo trailer used to house tools for the job site. Police contacted an individual in the area who had witnessed the theft.

Richland Police Officers located Quigley’s vehicle and contacted members of the Richland Police Street Crimes Unit (SCU). Quigley was arrested a short time later and a search warrant was executed on Quigley’s apartment. Further investigation led SCU Officers to Pasco where stolen property was recovered from two other Richland construction site thefts.
Quigley was Booked into the Benton County Jail on 3 counts of Theft 1st degree. There have been several other thefts in Richland and Kennewick that are similar. Investigators are still waiting for a total inventory but it is estimated that the value of items taken will exceed $60,000.00.
The investigation is continuing.

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.

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.

Carmichael Sledding Hill "Closed"
The hill at Carmichael Middle School is “closed” due to unsafe conditions. There have been two significant injuries reported in the last two days. The Richland Police Department and Richland School District have closed the popular sledding hill after receiving a request from the staff at the Kadlec Medical Center.
We realize this is a popular spot for outdoor activities but ask that people stay off the frozen slope until conditions improve.
Carmichael Middle School is located at 620 Thayer Drive in Richland.
