An officer spoke to the victim who reported she had scratched the man while he was holding her down on the bed and pushing her. The victim reported she had come to the room with breakfast and the man became irate and started arguing with her about something. He then threw the food in the toilet and assaulted her.

Obstruction - A 76-year-old Valley, Wash., man was arrested at 2:22 p.m. May 13 for obstructing.

It was reported to the officer by the passenger that the man takes her to the casino and buys her drinks and pays for her gambling if she has sex with him. The female subject reported she was scared as the man is forceful and asked that officers not leave her with him.
