A motor vehicle accident in Freeland on Saturday has left one man in the hospital and another facing charges of vehicular assault, according to the Washington State Patrol. Langley resident Jeffrey Parker, 51, was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for injuries he sustained in the accident. A hospital official reported his condition Sunday morning as “satisfactory.” A state patrol memo reports the accident occurred at about 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 18, in the intersection of Main Street and Highway 525. Parker was southbound on the state route on a 2007 KYMCO VENOX250 motorcycle. He was passing through the intersection when he was struck by a 1986 Isuzu pickup driven by Freeland resident Donald Cannon, 54. Cannon was westbound on Main Street at the time and “failed to stop at a controlled intersection,” according
to the state patrol memo. Both vehicles came to rest within the intersection. Cannon, who was not injured, was booked into the Island County Jail on vehicle assault charges. The state patrol suspects he was driving while impaired.

STATE Rep. Hayes wins legislative award The Washington Council of Police and Sheriffs (WACOPS) named Rep. Dave Hayes its 2013 Legislator of the Year for the House Republican Caucus. An assistant ranking member of the House Public Safety Committee, Hayes, R-Camano Island, is in his first term serving the 10th Legislative District. He is also a ser-
geant with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office and a former president and executive board member of WACOPS. “As a law enforcement officer and former president of the Washington Council of Police and Sheriffs, Rep. Hayes understands the interests of our members and is a great advocate of our issues in the Legislature,” said WACOPS President Craig Bulkley. “This award is to show our appreciation for his work to help law enforcement officers across the state of Washington in their efforts to protect and serve the public.” Hayes was pleased with the recognition and praised law enforcement. “I believe one of the highest priorities of government must be to protect citizens and keep our streets and neighborhoods safe,” Hayes said. “WACOPS is made up of men and women in law enforcement who are dedicated to protecting and serving our communities. It is a great honor to be recognized by this statewide group and my peers in law enforcement.” The award was issued during WACOPS’ recent winter membership meeting in Olympia. Hayes was joined by several law enforcement officers from the Camano Island/ Stanwood area, including Dave Osman, Jim Phillips, Rich Phillips and Joe Uhrich. For more information about Rep. Hayes, visit www.representativedave hayes.com
