On February 18, 2025, at approximately 6:06 PM, Officer Nathan Padrta with the Pullman Police Department was dispatched by Whitcom to a road rage report on NE Merman Drive. A male reported that his ex-girlfriend who had been stalking him all day was following him, and that she had just struck his vehicle. The female suspect was identified as 25-year-old Samantha Coleman. Officer Darren Romero later located the suspect’s 2008 Toyota Prius in the 400 block of S Grand Avenue. It appeared that the Prius had struck a 2022 Jeep Compass. The total amount of damages to the alleged victim’s Jeep was estimated to exceed $5,000. Officer Romero immediately placed Samantha in handcuffs to detain her, and Officer Padrta arrived on scene to speak with the alleged victim. After Officer Padrta interviewed the alleged victim, it was determined that Samantha would be placed under arrest for domestic violence. Samantha was placed in the patrol car and initially transported to the Pullman Police Department for further processing. At the Pullman Police Department, Officer Romero gathered Samantha’s pedigree information and placed her inside a holding cell. Officer Heidi Lambley later transported Samantha to the Whitman County Jail, where she was booked in without incident. The following day, a Superior Court judge ordered her to be held without bail. Samantha was charged with the following: -Malicious Mischief 1st Degree Domestic Violence (RCW 9A.48.070/10.99) -Stalking Domestic Violence (RCW 9A.46.110/10.99) -Reckless Driving (RCW 46.61.500) ---------------------------------------------- Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting our channel (email us for more information).
