NEWS BRIEFS: Fire forces three from PA home … and other items

PORT ANGELES — Three adults living at 210 North Jones St. have been displaced by a kitchen fire.

Port Angeles firefighters responded at about 12:20 p.m. Sunday and had the fire knocked down by about 12:30 p.m., said Mike Sanders, assistant chief.

One person was transported to Olympic Medical Center with minor burns, he said.

Residents salvaged personal belongings but have to live elsewhere until the home is repaired, he said.

“One of the big positives were the two working smoke detectors,” he said.

He said there were household items near the stovetop in the kitchen that caught fire while the stove was on.

PA woman arrested

PORT ANGELES — A 22-year-old Port Angeles woman covered in blue hair dye was arrested in Kentucky on investigation of criminal mischief and public intoxication, according to the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies arrested Raina White last Thursday on investigation of third-degree criminal mischief and public intoxication after she made a mess in a campground bathroom while attempting to dye her hair, according to a press release.

“Deputies noted that the female suspect’s hair, clothing and body was covered in blue hair dye,” the press release stated.

The campground is about 9 miles south of London, Ky.

The campground manager followed White away from the campground, helping deputies find her.

She told deputies she was trying to dye her hair because her boyfriend wanted her to and that they had made a mess in the bathroom, causing damage, the press release stated.

She was booked into the Laurel County Correctional Center for the incident, but was not listed on the jail roster Monday.
