Moses Lake man arrested after running over men

MOSES LAKE — A Moses Lake man has been arrested for investigation of murder after he allegedly ran over three men, killing one, after a bar fight.

The 26-year-old was booked into the Grant County Jail for investigation of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree assault, Moses Lake Police Assistant Chief Dean Mitchell said Monday.

The man is accused of accelerating rapidly and driving into the three men after a fight Saturday morning in Moses Lake.

Troy Livering, 32, was flown to Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, where he later died. Jason Stewart, 29, and Edward Badley, 35, were taken to Samaritan Hospital and released after treatment for cuts and bruises, Mitchell said.

Korean sentenced for smuggling alien: A Korean citizen has been sentenced in federal court to 3 1/2years in prison for bringing an undocumented Korean national into the United States from Canada late last year. Richard Sung Kim, 31, of Los Angeles was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik on Friday. After serving his sentence, Kim, who entered the country illegally himself, will be deported. He was arrested in Mount Vernon, following a tip from a motel clerk there last summer. He had stayed at the motel in question 33 times between June 2000 and June 2001. During the 18-month investigation, federal agents found Kim smuggled in at least 57 Korean nationals who had responded to ads placed in South Korean newspapers. The aliens paid $3,000 to $5,000 each, plus air fare.

No new shellfish closures: The state has issued no new beach closures affecting commercial shellfish growers this year, but 16 areas remain "threatened." It’s the first time in 12 years that none of the state’s 84 commercial shellfish-growing areas will be downgraded because of pollution, according to the state Department of Health. The areas that remain on the state’s threatened list could be decertified if bacterial levels grow worse. They include four growing areas in Hood Canal: Annas Bay, Forest Beach and Lynch Cove, all in Mason County, and Cedar Cove in Port Gamble Bay in Kitsap County. Other threatened areas include North Bay and Oakland Bay in Mason County and Dungeness Bay in Clallam County.

Adopt a goose: Riverside Park officials in Grants Pass plan an adopt-a-goose-or-duck event this week to deal with a sudden overpopulation. Martin Seybold, the field operations director for Grants Pass, said at least 150 domestic geese were counted last week, plus several dozen domestic ducks. Residents are complaining about the duck droppings that are building up on their lawns. Parks workers say they can’t grow grass because the fowl are eating the seed. Simon Wray, a wildlife biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, said the adoptees need homes with a pond, or along a creek or river.

Girl rescued from Rogue River: Two young men rescued a 7-year-old girl from the cold currents of the Rogue River over the weekend. Victor Daugherty, 16, and Jason Byrd, 20, were at Indian Mary Park on Saturday when they saw the girl struggling. "When I got to her she was sinking," said Daugherty, a junior pole vaulter and football player at Grants Pass High School. "I grabbed her and tried to start swimming. Jason got there and we both hung on and swam with her." Once back on shore, the girl, Sydney Spooner of Grants Pass, was wrapped in blankets and began breathing on her own after coughing up some water. She was taken to Three Rivers Community Hospital, where she was treated and released.
