Neighbor
Man charged with child rape, molestation
SUNNYSIDE (Friday, 8-6-99)--Police have arrested a Sunnyside man after a 13-year old female reported she was sexually assaulted by a neighbor at around 4:30 p.m. today.
 
Police said the girl came into the neighbor's home because of her friendship with the children of the home. She reportedly came in to see a small puppy.
 
She told police that, as she held the puppy, the suspect forced her to a room where the offense took place. The girl reportedly managed to get free from the suspect and run away to her home.
 
Police said the suspect later tried to contact the victim by her bedroom window. That's when police arrested him.
 
Arrested in connection with the incident was Juan Francisco Morales, 29, of 1700 Cascade Way, #78. He was arrested at #81. Morales was charged with second degree child molestation and second degree attempted rape of a child, according to Det. Oliver Hernandez.

He reportedly detained the victim at 112 Hawthorn Drive and would not leave the home when she ordered him to do so.
 
Someone called the cops to 112 Hawthorn Drive and Rodriguez was arrested at his home next door at 106. He was booked into Sunnyside Jail and transferred to the Yakima County Juvenile Detention Center, police said.

Dope, auto seized for forfeiture
Erratic driving leads to heroin bust
SUNNYSIDE (Tuesday, 8-3-99)--When cops saw a man driving erratically in his '88 Honda Accord at around 11 p.m. today, they stopped whom they believed might be a drunk driver. But it soon proved to be more than a routine DUI.
 
The guy refused to stop after a half mile car chase. When the driver finally pulled over, he caught one of the Honda's wheels in a drainage ditch. Officers said the driver then bolted from the car carrying a package. He then fled south along the ditch bank.
 
Cops immediately gave chase, and reportedly saw the driver toss something into the canal. After a half-mile foot race, cops nabbed the driver without a struggle. Then officers got the package floating in the ditch.
 
Officers said the package contained almost an ounce of black tar heroin plus a large electronic scale.
 
Arrested in connection with the incident was Jesus Jose Lopez, 25, of Grandview. Cops seized the heroin, a small amount of marijuana and the 1988 Honda Accord, according to Officer James Orth. Lopez was booked at Sunnyside Jail and transported to Yakima County Jail for formal charges.
