Public records released for Spokane County outline a wide spectrum of administrative and judicial proceedings, ranging from local marriage license applications to criminal sentencings and civil lawsuits. The documentation reflects the everyday legal and civic operations of the county, cataloging the activities of local residents across regional municipalities, the Spokane County Superior Court, and area district and municipal courtrooms.
The county’s licensing division logged a substantial list of couples applying for marriage certificates, representing households primarily residing within the city of Spokane. Among the city applicants are Erik A. Chavez and Maria N. Castillo Perez, Cameron J. Wyatt and Jenna H. Burnson, Austin D. Erkers and Scarlett M. Hicks, and Asa K. Herbst and Samantha K. Hampton. Additional Spokane residents registering for marriage include Taylor J. Lance and Jenai M. Shamp, Travis W. J. Mitchell and Ramona G. Marvin, Liam P. Burns Hart and Naomi R. Brandt, Austin J. Kruger and Delana K. Howard, Garrett M. Johnson and Anna G. Ryan, and Brandon T. Jared alongside Rebecca A. Louik.
Couples from surrounding municipalities across the broader metropolitan area and neighboring regions were also documented in the licensing registry. In Spokane Valley, licenses were secured by Alexander K. Richardson and Marlee J. Weets, Kolton R. Darden and Adela Cervantes, Benjamin B. Thoeny and Helen G. Atencio, as well as Tyler D. Jordan and Nya C. Surginer. In Medical Lake, Jaycob J. Wirth and Celeste M. Delk filed for a license, while Fred J. Jowdy and Michelle D. Lund registered from Liberty Lake. Demonstrating cross-county ties, Spokane resident Samuel R. Stack filed for a marriage license with Alyssa B. Campbell of Yakima.
Within the civil branch of the Spokane County Superior Court, several new legal actions were formally initiated, predominantly involving property management and tenancy matters. Four separate complaints were filed seeking restitution of premises: California Commercial Investments Inc. filed against Lee Williams; Hornberger Property Management LLC brought a suit against Katherine Anderson; John Worth initiated an action against Christopher Sanders; and FAC 940 North LLC filed against Bam G. Dicicco. Additionally, a distinct commercial complaint was lodged by Dauterman Construction LLC against Flippin Harpy Real Estate LLC.
The Superior Court also finalized several family law decrees, formally concluding marriages and approving domestic separations. Marriage dissolutions were officially granted to Samantha L. Hasler and Travis E. Hasler, as well as to Kathy L. Thibodeaux and Jacques M. Thibodeaux. In separate domestic relations proceedings, the court granted decrees of legal separation to Alex Kaufman and Melanie A. Kaufman, along with Brian K. Kappen and Kamie L. Kappen.
On the criminal side of the Superior Court docket, Judge Harold D. Clarke, III, presided over multiple sentencing hearings involving property and financial crimes. Bobby L. Taylor, 40, was ordered to serve two months in jail following a guilty plea to second-degree identity theft. In another financial offense, 62-year-old Kevin B. Snow, who is also known in court records as Kevin D. Snow, received a 42-day jail sentence after entering a guilty plea to a charge of third-degree retail theft with special circumstances.
Judge Clarke also adjudicated offenses involving personal conduct, violence, and general theft. Jesus Hernandez Lopez, 30, was sentenced to three months of incarceration and ordered to pay $2,403 in restitution after pleading guilty to third-degree assault. In a harassment case, 33-year-old Benjamin A. Soto was given a 14-day jail sentence, receiving credit for 14 days already served. Furthermore, Michael R. Beckman, 40, received a 30-day jail term with credit for 30 days served after the court found him guilty of third-degree theft.
Lower-level offenses handled in Spokane’s Municipal and District courts were similarly finalized, with public disclosure focused on matters resulting in jail sentences or financial penalties of $500 or more. These cases address local public order, traffic safety, and compliance with statutory regulations, illustrating the steady flow of lower-court criminal matters.
In court proceedings before Judge Mary C. Logan, multiple defendants were sentenced for property offenses, public disturbance, and specialized municipal violations. Chase B. Holley, 37, was sentenced to 16 days in jail for first-degree criminal trespassing, while Brandon J. Kennedy, 31, received an eight-day jail term for third-degree theft. In a regulatory matter, 37-year-old Lyndsey A. Riddle was ordered to serve 18 days in jail for violating restrictions placed on potentially dangerous dogs.
Judge Logan also handed down penalties in several driving-related cases. David P. Masten, 46, was sentenced to one day in jail for reckless driving, while 53-year-old Tim T. Peterson received a $794 fine for the same offense. For an impaired driving violation, Ryan K. McCarty, 44, was sentenced to serve one day of incarceration following a charge of driving while intoxicated.
In the courtroom of Judge Aimee N. Maurer, summary proceedings resolved multiple non-violent and public conduct offenses. Kelly R. Bemis, 43, received a four-day jail sentence with four days of credit for time served following a conviction for third-degree theft. In another minor adjudication, 48-year-old James P. Guilfoyle was sentenced to one day in jail with one day of credit for time served on a charge of disorderly conduct.
Traffic infractions and impaired driving offenses formed a significant portion of Judge Maurer’s resolved docket. Raymond E. Chaney, 46, received a seven-day jail sentence with seven days credit for reckless driving, and Aaron A. Dechand, 48, was given a 15-day sentence with seven days credit for the same offense. For driving while intoxicated, 27-year-old Christopher L. Clark received 20 days in jail with six days credited, while Michael R. Beckman, 40, had a 13-day jail term converted to 13 days of electronic home monitoring.
Judicial actions also included a notable impaired driving resolution before Judge Richard M. Leland. In that case, 49-year-old Tiana Roy was sentenced to one day in jail, assessed a $990.50 fine, and placed on 24 months of probation for driving while intoxicated. Taken together, the records highlight the continuous work of Spokane County’s judicial and civil infrastructure in processing regional administrative filings and enforcing public accountability.
