PM Rivercom Dispatch advised Deputies of
a burglary at the 6600 block of Hay Canyon Road in Cashmere. The reporting
party, Merle Leroy Shellenbarger said his front door was torn down and subjects
were in his residence. He said he woke up and confronted two males in the
living room area of the home; both ran out the front door and left in a white
car. They left towards the highway (US 2). Shellenbarger called back and
said there were two occupants in the vehicle and it was a white “Corolla-type”
vehicle. He further stated as they were leaving he shot his 40 caliber pistol
at the vehicle three times to scare them off.
At
approximately 1159 PM Deputy Reinfeld was waiting in the area of Hwy 2 at
Monitor when he saw a light colored 80’s Honda sedan drive eastbound on Hwy 2.
It appeared to be occupied by two males. Deputy Reinfeld pulled out and got
behind the vehicle. He followed the vehicle as it turned south onto Easy Street, Wenatchee. Then it pulled into BJ’s
Mini-mart at 153 Easy
Street. The driver looked indecisive at first. He
started to pull into a parking spot and then pulled in next to a gas pump.
Deputy Reinfeld followed. Two occupants got out of the vehicle. They were
later identified as Shawn L. McKee 33 years old, of East Wenatchee, and Brandon
J. Hastings 28 years old of East Wenatchee.
Deputy Reinfeld contacted both subjects and noticed what appeared to be a bullet
hole in the hood of the vehicle. Additional Deputies arrived and located an
additional bullet hole in the rear door that entered the vehicle and lodged in
the opposite door panel. Both subjects denied being in the area of the burglary
but admitted to being in Cashmere.
Deputy
Tyler contacted the victim Shellenbarger and obtained evidence linking the two
to the scene of the Burglary.
Shawn
McKee was arrested for Residential Burglary and Unlawful Possession of
Controlled Substance (methamphetamine). Brandon Hastings was arrested for
Residential Burglary
