The 30 year old woman who was arrested last year by the Whitman County SWAT team after she allegedly shot at several people outside Farmington has been found not guilty by reason of insanity
Jamie Carosino has been found criminally insane after undergoing several mental evaluations
Whitman County Superior Court Judge Gary Libey accepted the finding during a hearing in Colfax on Friday morning
The ruling supported by the prosecution drops several felony assault counts against Carosino
She will be committed to Eastern State Hospital in Medical Lake for mental health treatment
Carosino allegedly fired several shots at her boyfriend and members of his family at a Farmington area home in June of last year
Carosino refused to surrender to Whitman County Sheriff’s Deputies
The SWAT team was brought in and was forced to use less-than-lethal gas munitions to arrest Carosino
Judge Libey was told that the victims in the case support the insanity plea and want Carosino to receive mental health treatment
She has been in the Whitman County Jail in Colfax since her arrest

Huge thank you to Kevin Pelton and Tristan Carosino of the Fabulous Peltoncast for joining us
we talk mostly about how their fandom died out over the years
0:00-14:00: How Kevin and Tristan began their lives as die-hard Mariner fans in Boulevard Park, all thanks to Rich Amaral and Russ Davis. They also explain the beauty of Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball. What do they remember about those childhood baseball summers in Seattle? Would they have gravitated to baseball so hard if the Mariners were terrible in the 90s
14:05-19:55: A reminder that Matthew’s birth saved the franchise
What do Tristan’s kids think of the current Mariners
Are children lacking an obvious entry point to baseball
20:00-33:55: When did apathy kick in for Kevin and Tristan
Kevin mentions a gradual decline while Tristan praises baseball’s endless churn (sports
always better than no sports) before realizing he probably just doesn’t like baseball that much
Kevin starts the Evan White for MVP campaign
which causes his brother to accuse him of pandering
34:00-42:10: The spice levels elevate off the charts
Tristan starts by wielding a flamethrower toward all people that abandon their hometown squad for the Flavor of the Month team
he goes off about 1995 and 2001 actually being the worst things that ever happened
Tristan spouts the unquestionably worst opinion to ever grace these
Podcasting is the most important artform on the planet
42:15-55:20: What does Félix Hernández mean to these broken Mariner fans
How will they handle the eventual renaissance
Kevin correctly praises the new stadium while Tristan unintentionally unpacks his high school trauma
but also the Mariners are bad because they haven’t bettered themselves in years
55:25-1:05:13: The mental gymnastics required to be a Mariner fan
and how to re-wire your brain to not only care about wins and losses
it wouldn’t be a Lookout Landing podcast if Matthew didn’t bring up his past as a troublemaking teen
and it wouldn’t be a Peltoncast without a couple more Mariner hot takes

Friends on social media have identified Richland native Dietrich Schmieman as one of the Marines who died in a devastating plane crash that killed 16 people Monday in Mississippi
Schmieman was assigned to the Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command
which identified the six Marines and one Navy corpsman under their command as members of the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion stationed at Camp LeJeune
They were on their way to Marine Corps Air Station Yuma for pre-deployment training
Schmieman was a 2009 graduate of Hanford High School
Michael Carosino first met Schmieman in the third grade
Their families lived in the same neighborhood and the two spent a lot of time at each other’s houses
Carosino described his friend as a “really fun
“He was friends with everybody,” Carosino said
but didn’t know about Schmieman until mutual friends told him Tuesday
“It’s just really hard to deal with,” he said
The group of friends from the neighborhood has turned to a group chat to help them cope with their grief
“We’ve all kind of been able to share some memories and pictures and stuff
trying to deal with it that way,” Carosino said
Carosino works in Los Angeles but said a couple of Schmieman’s friends were able to spend the day with the family Tuesday
and I’ve just been crushed with how they have to deal with this,” he said
Longtime friend Ashton Davis said he’d known Schmieman for more than a decade
“He was always the person who would turn any situation into a fun one,” Davis said
Davis recalled a trip the two took to Europe during which they became stranded in Italy after they lost their train tickets
“He somehow turned a 24-hour period of being stranded in a foreign place to a fun adventure we would never forget,” he said
“We reminisce about our Europe trip at least a couple times a year
I am forever grateful for that trip of a lifetime.”
Corey Smith of Richland Lutheran Church was Schmieman’s youth pastor for many years
but you could tell that he liked to have fun.”
The family recently began attending a different church
but that didn’t stop Smith from reaching out to the family when he heard the news
“We’ve been trying to provide any help that we can,” he said
Smith described Schmieman as an “all-American boy” who joined the Marines because he had a desire to serve
“We’re just shocked and deeply saddened,” he said
