POST FALLS - A citizen's report of a suspicious vehicle in Post Falls early Wednesday led to the arrests of its two occupants on multiple charges.

While police haven't linked the suspects to a home a block away where a drug raid occurred in July, residents in the neighborhood say they wouldn't be surprised if there's a connection due to the continued suspicious activity at the home.

Jerome J. Lee Jr., 35, Spokane, was booked into the Kootenai County jail for possession of a stolen gun, drugs and paraphernalia. He is being held on a $75,000 bond.

Jamie L. Pachosa, 25, Spokane Valley, was wanted on a $40,000 warrant in Spokane County for first-degree theft and first-degree trafficking in stolen property. She was booked on the warrant, possession of drugs and paraphernalia and providing a false identity to police. She is being held on a $10,000 bond.

According to police, a resident reported that a red Mazda sports car pulled into a parking lot at 410 W. 20th Ave. near Chase Field at 12:29 a.m. on Wednesday with the lights off.

When Lee and Pachosa were contacted by officers, drug paraphernalia and marijuana were found in Lee's pockets.

A .38 Ruger pistol - stolen in Montana - and marijuana were found inside a lunchbox in the car, police said.

Police said Pachosa verbally told police that she had a different name before an officer located her Washington driver's license in a wallet. At the jail, methamphetamine was located inside Pachosa's purse, according to police.

An officer said Pachosa had four cellphones.

"Due to the drug history in this neighborhood and the suspiciousness of being in possession of four cellphones, I seized them all as evidence," the officer wrote in her report.

The Mazda was impounded after the vehicle was searched.

Last month Post Falls resident Deborah Cobb told the City Council that suspicious activities at a home in the 300 block of West 20th - a block from where Lee and Pachosa were arrested - have continued despite the drug raid three months ago. Fourteen people were arrested during the raid. When police stormed the home around 5 a.m., several of the suspects were already setting up for a yard sale outside.

Cobb said she and her neighbors have been pleased with the police department's presence in the neighborhood since she pleaded for help.

"Being outspoken has been the only way we've gotten anything done," Cobb said. "It's lightening up. This has been going on for two years and we've been actively pursuing trying to get something done for a year. This has totally affected our neighborhood."

The city council this week asked Police Chief Scot Haug for an update on the emphasis to clean up activities at the home.

Haug said police have increased patrols in the area and have curbed the problem of junk being on the property. He said two misdemeanor citations were recently issued for having excess dogs on the property after the residents were warned.

"In Post Falls, the maximum is three dogs and they had five," Haug said.

Haug said the patrolling the neighborhood remains a priority.

"I drive by on a daily basis," he said.
