Parking issue near Sidney Middle School discussed

SIDNEY The issue of parking complaints near the Sidney Middle School was discussed at Sidney City Council’s Monday evening teleconference meeting.
Jon Crusey, Sidney public works director, brought forth the parking issue and sought direction from council on how to proceed. He said the city received complaints from residents who live across from the Sidney Middle School regarding parents blocking driveways while they are waiting to pick their children up from school.
Street Superintendent Brian Green spoke with one of the residents, Crusey said, and identified the problem areas are at Chase Avenue and the alley at the north end of Chase Avenue. He proposed the area to be designated as “No Parking” between 2 and 4 p.m. on all days school is in session to alleviate the parking issues.
Walla Walla Police Department s K-9 Watts and his partner were successful in detaining a wanted man with a backpack full of meth on Monday.
Just before noon, the officer and K-9 Watts were patrolling the area of Chase Avenue and Chestnut Street, when the officer spotted the suspect, 40-year old Clifford R. Sain III in a vehicle. As the officer attempted to stop the vehicle, Sain jumped out and took off on foot.
Sain ran to an apartment building nearby, where he dropped the backpack full of drugs. After obtaining a search warrant, K-9 Watts went to work alerting his handler that there indeed was an odor of drugs. Watts was correct. There was about an ounce of individually packaged methamphetamine ready for delivery.
