Port Angeles teen jailed in Black Diamond crash Driver, 4 passengers plunged 400 feet down embankment BY MARK SWANSON PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — A Port Angeles teen was arrested for investigation of vehicular assault after the SUV he was driving plunged almost 400 feet down a Black Diamond Road embankment, the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office said. Gunner S. Gallauher, 18, was booked
into the Clallam County jail Friday after the wreck, which was reported to Clallam County Fire District No. 2 at 12:39 that morning, said Sheriff’s Sgt. John Hollis. Gallauher was not listed on the jail roster Saturday afternoon. Gallauher and two passengers were reportedly treated and released for minor injuries from Olympic Medical Center after emergency crews from several different departments worked for two hours and 35 minutes to bring them up to the road. One of the occupants suffered a fractured rib, Hollis said. Two others reportedly walked away from the crash and were checked out by
emergency medical personnel at the scene before they were taken home. Hollis identified three passengers as Port Angeles residents Dustin Taylor, 22; Keegan Walker, 18; and Alexander Evans, 18. One other passenger was a minor whom Hollis declined to identify, citing Sheriff’s Office policy for juveniles. Hollis said Gallauher admitted to a deputy that he was traveling northbound on Black Diamond Road at a rate of about 60 mph in a 35 mph zone when he attempted to pass another vehicle in a no passing zone, near a sharp corner, in the 100 block of Black Diamond Road.

PORT ANGELES — A Port Angeles man charged with assaulting a Clallam Transit bus driver and elderly passenger last month posted bail and then was returned to jail the next day after police said he trespassed at a bus stop. Riley Edge White, 59, had posted $30,000 bail Thursday on charges of first-degree attempted kidnapping, first-degree attempted robbery and two counts of second-degree assault after he allegedly attacked bus driver Joy Crummett and 80-year-old Angeline Olsen on a Clallam White Transit bus May 28. Having posted bail, he was released from the Clallam County jail. But he was returned to custody Friday morning for investigation of second-degree criminal trespass because he allegedly violated orders to stay away from Clallam Transit facilities or property, police said. “Officers responded to a complaint that Mr. White was at a bus stop, the bus stop on Fourth Street just outside of the Clallam County Courthouse entrance,” said Sgt. Jason Viada of the Port Angeles Police Department. “Mr. White had been excluded from being on any Clallam Transit facilities or property, so he was arrested by officers because he was trespassing on a Clallam Transit facility.” White remained in jail Saturday on $500 bail for the trespassing allegation. “Whether he bails out or not, we anticipate he’ll be in District Court on Monday,” Viada said.

Kidd chaired the Feb. 2 meeting in the physical absence of Mayor Patrick Downie, who was home but participated by phone. “As I read the rules for the operation of the council, the mayor, or the presiding official at the time, does have the right to determine procedure,” said Ken Williams, ethics board chairman and retired Clallam County

In a Friday interview, Kidd said the board reached a “logical conclusion.” “As chair, I was following the rules to maintain order and conduct the meeting,” Kidd said. “I really think the charges themselves are rather frivolous, and I’m sorry that we have had to go through all these ethics complaints.” TURN
