Whitman County Woman In Custody for 3 Counts of Assault First Degree After Dispute With Boyfriend

Adult black and white body 271418

Deputies from the Whitman County Sheriff’s Office with the  Assistance of the Whitman County Regional SWAT team took a Farmington,  WA woman into custody after she allegedly fired several rounds from two  different firearms at her boyfriend and members of his family.  The  incident occurred around 6:30pm on Thursday evening on Heise Road just  outside of Farmington, WA .

 Based on the serious nature of the  allegations which included the intentional discharge of firearms,  deputies attempted to make contact and negotiate with the suspect 30yoa  Jamie Carosino while using their recently acquired MRAP as a safety  shield.  Deputies were able to pull directly in front of the home to  initiate communication with Carosino who failed to respond to repeated  requests for cooperation.  

 The Whitman County SWAT team was  later called in to assist deputies who had obtained an Arrest and Search  Warrant for both Carosino and the property where the incident is  believed to have occurred. 

 Shortly after midnight the SWAT team  deployed Less Lethal Gas Munitions into the residence in order to gain  compliance from Carosino who was safely taken into custody at that time.  She was later booked into the Whitman County Jail on 3 Counts of  Assault in the First Degree.  Her first appearance will be Friday  afternoon in Whitman County Superior Court.

 The use of the  Whitman County SWAT Team and use of the MRAP proved to be invaluable  resources in bringing this standoff to a peaceful resolution.
