Some questions on the Worm Ranch thing
I was checking out some of the comments on my report on the Walla Walla Police finding several guns in a vehicle that are believed to have been taken in a recent burgalry at the Walla Walla Worm Ranch.
Here’s the story, and here are the comments that caught my attention:
1. “What happened to the occupants after they were released? Have they been arrested yet?”
2. “I’m wondering what happened after they did search the car and found the guns and drugs, were they arrested?
These are questions I hope to clarify with the police department this week, but my understanding from talking to Officer Tim Bennett last week is that because the driver refused to let the officers search car, the police had to wait for a search warrant to be processed. The K9 unit had arrived to assist with the traffic violation (I believe it was a broken light) and sniffed something suspicious. But until they got access to the car, there was nothing to make an arrest.
So while the officers waited for the search warrant, they had nothing to hold the driver or passenger, so the driver and passenger simply left. By the time the search warrant arrived, the guys were gone. At the time of the news story, there had been no arrests.
