A 36-year-old Centralia woman escaped injury, but was jailed on multiple charges after her car crashed into a power pole at 8th and Elm in Centralia just before midnight Saturday night.
Centralia Police say Patricia Gregory of Devonia Drive knocked down the pole and street light, with the live power lines falling across her car. Reports indicate Gregory was able to get out of the car without electrical shock. She was ticketed for driving under the influence, driving on a suspended license, no mandatory auto insurance, and on outstanding Marion and Clinton County warrants. A 25-year-old Centralia man had to be tazed twice as Centralia Police were attempting to take him into custody on Saturday on outstanding Marion and Clinton County warrants.
Shane Littleton of South Hickory remained in the Marion County Jail Monday morning on the two warrants as well as a new charge of resisting arrest. Centralia Police say they initially were called to a domestic disturbance at Littleton's home. He allegedly fought with police when they attempted to handcuff him. He eventually was taken to the ground, but had to be tazed twice before allowing police to complete the handcuffing process.
