Suspect In Carjacking Cases Wanted For Jumping Bail

A man minor injuries Friday afternoon in a two-car collision downtown.

The officer, Rob Boothe, was responding to a fight at Second and Howard about 5:25 p.m., said police spokesman Dick Cottam.

Boothe was driving east on First Avenue with lights flashing and sirens sounding. He stopped for a red light at Monroe and let some cars pass, Cottam said.

As Boothe crossed Monroe, his patrol car was hit on the driver’s side by a 1983 Nissan traveling south about 30 mph, Cottam said.

Neither Boothe nor the driver of the Nissan, Chris Wille, was hospitalized. Both cars were driven from the scene.

Police are investigating the traffic accident, but no citations were issued.

Wille said he couldn’t recall if the patrol car was running with lights or siren and that it seemed “to come out of nowhere.”

`Lean on Me’ principal to speak Joe Clark, the former high school principal and educator depicted in the movie “Lean on Me,” will speak at Gonzaga University on Wednesday.

A former Army drill instructor, Clark is known for the disciplinary steps he took as the principal of Eastside High in Paterson, N.J. On his first day in September 1983, a stabbing took place at school. After two years of Clark’s leadership, Eastside High was declared a model school by New Jersey’s governor. President Reagan also named him a model educator.

His book, “Laying Down the Law,” explains his emphasis on discipline and his desire to challenge students and to confront those who misbehave.

Admission costs $2 for his 8 p.m. speech, “From Disgrace to Amazing Grace.”
