Lewis County Law Enforcement Participates in the 15th Annual National Domestic Violence Warrant Sweep.
Deputies with the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office and troopers from the Washington State Patrol served 21 warrants yesterday during the 15th Annual National Domestic Violence Warrant Sweep. The collaborative event was conducted to locate and arrest people with outstanding warrants in the Lewis County area.
During October 19th, 2017, deputies and troopers assigned to the warrant sweep made 111 service attempts, resulting in 4 felony warrant arrests and 17 misdemeanor arrests. While the main focus of the sweep was outstanding domestic violence warrants, other non-domestic violence warrants were also attempted.
The Lewis County Prosecutor’s Office, Lewis County District Court, and the court contracted defense attorney were also involved, and instrumental in the efficiency of the operation.
Sheriff Robert Snaza said, “This event demonstrates the strong partnerships between Lewis County law enforcement, the Lewis County Prosecutor’s Office, and the courts. Through this successful sweep we were able to increase public safety, while holding those accountable who break the law.”
