Public records recently released in Spokane County offer a comprehensive view into the daily legal, civic, and personal milestones occurring throughout the region. From marital unions and domestic relations filings to civil tenancy complaints and criminal court sentencings, the newly published judicial and municipal documentation reflects ongoing administrative activity across Superior, District, and Municipal courtrooms.
The Spokane County clerk and auditor dockets recorded a substantial collection of marriage license filings for couples residing across the Inland Northwest. Many of the newly issued licenses were granted to residents living within the city of Spokane, representing a continuous flow of local family milestones being formalized within the county's administrative offices.
Among the Spokane-based couples obtaining marriage licenses were 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. Other Spokane residents who registered their marriage intentions included 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 and Rebecca A. Louik. Additionally, Samuel R. Stack of Spokane registered a marriage license alongside Alyssa B. Campbell, who resides in Yakima.
Neighboring municipalities within the county also accounted for multiple license issuances. Spokane Valley residents registering their marriages included 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 outlying communities, licenses were filed by Jaycob J. Wirth and Celeste M. Delk, both of Medical Lake, and Fred J. Jowdy and Michelle D. Lund, both residing in Liberty Lake.
On the civil side of the judicial system, the Spokane County Superior Court logged several newly initiated lawsuits, predominantly featuring landlord-tenant disputes and tenancy possession matters. A series of filings seeking restitution of premises were entered on behalf of property managers and owners, including California Commercial Investments Inc. against Lee Williams, Hornberger Property Management LLC against Katherine Anderson, John Worth against Christopher Sanders, and FAC 940 North LLC against Bam G. Dicicco.
Beyond unlawful detainer and tenancy possession claims, the civil docket also documented corporate litigation within the local business sector. A formal civil complaint was entered by Dauterman Construction LLC against Flippin Harpy Real Estate LLC. Simultaneously, the Superior Court handled formal domestic relations matters, granting marriage dissolutions to Samantha L. Hasler and Travis E. Hasler, as well as Kathy L. Thibodeaux and Jacques M. Thibodeaux.
In addition to finalized marital dissolutions, the Superior Court issued formal decrees of legal separation. Such orders provide structured legal resolution regarding property, obligations, and marital boundaries without a complete termination of the marriage contract. Legal separations were officially granted to Alex Kaufman and Melanie A. Kaufman, as well as Brian K. Kappen and Kamie L. Kappen.
Criminal proceedings in Spokane County Superior Court saw multiple sentencings presided over by Judge Harold D. Clarke, III. In a notable financial fraud case, 40-year-old Bobby L. Taylor was sentenced to serve two months in jail after entering a guilty plea to a charge of second-degree identity theft. In a separate violent offense, 30-year-old Jesus Hernandez Lopez pleaded guilty to third-degree assault, receiving a three-month jail term and being ordered to pay $2,403 in restitution.
Judge Clarke’s docket also concluded with dispositions on property and public conduct offenses. Kevin B. Snow, who is also identified in court records as Kevin D. Snow, 62, was sentenced to 42 days in jail following a guilty plea to third-degree retail theft under special circumstances. Meanwhile, Benjamin A. Soto, 33, was found guilty of harassment and sentenced to 14 days of confinement with credit given for 14 days already served. Similarly, 40-year-old Michael R. Beckman was found guilty of third-degree theft and received a 30-day jail sentence, with complete credit awarded for 30 days served.
In the Municipal and District court system, where public reporting is designated for cases resulting in incarceration or monetary penalties of $500 or higher, Judge Mary C. Logan handed down several criminal judgments. On property and neighborhood safety matters, 37-year-old Chase B. Holley received 16 days in jail for first-degree criminal trespassing, Brandon J. Kennedy, 31, received eight days in jail for third-degree theft, and Lyndsey A. Riddle, 37, was ordered to serve 18 days in jail for violating restrictions governing potentially dangerous dogs.
Traffic-related violations and impaired driving charges were also resolved in Judge Logan’s courtroom. Ryan K. McCarty, 44, was sentenced to one day in jail for driving while intoxicated, while David P. Masten, 46, was sentenced to one day of incarceration for reckless driving. In an additional traffic disposition that did not involve jail time, 53-year-old Tim T. Peterson was assessed a $794 financial penalty after being convicted of reckless driving.
District Court Judge Aimee N. Maurer presided over a broad array of misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor dispositions involving time served. Kelly R. Bemis, 43, received a four-day jail term with four days of credit applied for third-degree theft, while 48-year-old James P. Guilfoyle received a one-day sentence with credit for one day served on a disorderly conduct conviction. For impaired driving, 27-year-old Christopher L. Clark was sentenced to 20 days in jail, receiving credit for six days previously spent in custody.
