SOUTH BEND — The following cases were among those handled during the Pacific County Superior Court criminal docket on Feb. 21 and 28.

Derrick D. Weida, 48 — With less than a month until the three-year mark in the case, it has come full circle to where it paused on April 22, 2022. Weida is accused of ramming patrol vehicles after multiple agencies responded to the report of a suspicious vehicle near Lebam on March 31, 2022.

The case hit its first roadblock when the court ordered Weida to undergo a competency evaluation, which subsequently determined that he was not competent.

On May 13, 2022, the court ordered him to undergo a 45-day restoration at Western State Hospital, operated by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services.

According to court records, from May 13, 2022, through Dec. 27, 2022, DSHS did not intake Weida and was found in contempt multiple times. Contempt sanctions cost DSHS thousands of dollars in Weida’s case.

The case hit its second major roadblock when Weida posted $50,000 bail through A-Affordable Bonds, which reset the clock for his restoration. In custody, defendants are mandated by law to be taken into services within 14 days — however, there is no mandated timeline for defendants out of custody.

An order for outpatient services was issued on Jan. 6, 2023, and did little to get Weida into services. In-custody orders take priority for WSH, which is often out of beds for patients needing evaluations or restoration services.

No major developments in the case occurred from Dec. 27, 2022, through Jan. 3 of this year, and Weida was not provided restoration services. A-Affordable Bonds revoked his bail on Jan. 3, and he was subsequently taken into custody.

The court once again ordered Weida to undergo a competency evaluation, which was completed on Feb. 7. It was again determined that he was not competent enough to stand trial. The report recommends that he undergo restoration services.

Alejandro A. Cruz, 19 — He was arrested by the Raymond Police Department on July 18, 2024, after allegedly robbing the Raymond Deli at Duryea Street and U.S. 101 in Raymond. He was charged with second-degree robbery and pleaded guilty to a lesser count in the North District Court. His felony case was dismissed.

John F. N. Connery, 35 — It is his second case in two years for allegedly refusing to leave a woman alone. He was ordered to undergo a competency evaluation completed on Dec. 31, 2024. He was deemed incompetent to stand trial, so restoration services were ordered.

Following restoration services, he was deemed restored on Feb. 13. Subsequently, he pleaded not guilty to the charges of stalking and violation of a court order. He is scheduled to next appear for a pretrial hearing on March 7, and his trial dates are tentatively set for April 2-3.

Sandra D. Anderson, 56 — She was arrested by the South Bend Police Department on Feb. 9 after a random attack on another patient at the Willapa Harbor Hospital. She faces one count of second-degree assault for the attack.

According to court records, she was ordered to undergo a competency evaluation completed on Feb. 22. The evaluation found her competent enough to stand trial, and the court subsequently entered the findings on Feb. 28.

Anderson is scheduled to appear next for a trial setting hearing on March 14.

Jason T. Stonehouse, 50 — A tense encounter between the man and emergency responders in Raymond landed him in handcuffs on Feb. 8. He allegedly called 911 for a medical emergency and ended up threatening to shoot and kill an ambulance crew, which prompted an armed confrontation with law enforcement.

According to court records, the court ordered that he undergo a competency evaluation, which was subsequently completed on Feb. 22, and found him competent enough to stand trial.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges and is scheduled to appear next for a pretrial hearing on March 14. His trial dates are tentatively scheduled for April 22-23.

Keith R. Schneider, 38 — He was arrested by the Pacific County Sheriff’s Office on May 22, 2024, following an investigation into a reported home invasion on May 13, 2024, which resulted in a tense encounter with the man.

He faces charges of second-degree malicious mischief and intimidating a public servant.

According to records, the court ordered Schneider to undergo a competency evaluation completed on Feb. 7 and found him competent enough to stand trial.

Schneider pleaded not guilty to the charges and is scheduled to appear next for a pretrial hearing on March 7. His trial is tentatively scheduled for May 7-8.
