Police in Kelso, WA arrest arsonist!

Message from Chief Darr Kirk

On September 14th, 2020, officers arrested 26 year old Andnick Andreas of Kelso for attempting to start two fires in Kelso on this same date. I would like to thank our citizens for their help in this case. We were able to gain valuable information during this investigation from community members that helped us identify and capture Andnick before he was able to cause anymore damage. The case is being referred to the Cowlitz County Prosecutor's Office for Arson charges.

These are difficult times for everyone and we are grateful for the support from our community.
