The detective also responded to the stop and noticed a DeWalt drill in the back seat, according to court documents.

Guerrero explained they were trying to get back to Tacoma but got lost, the release said. They had just stopped at a gas station, where Parsons changed the tire, and were returning to Tacoma.

Guerrero admitted to being in the area “stealing stuff” and had stolen a weed-wacker from someone’s yard, documents say. She said she stole an Amazon package off another person’s porch, court records show. On the package was another box, which contained a check book, the detective said in documents.

Guerrero admitted to being at the Thorpe Road home because of a flat tire but denied going inside, documents say. She said she was unsure if Parsons went inside the house or stole anything from it.

Parsons told the detective they were visiting family in Spokane but got lost in Medical Lake. They went to the casino and then came back to Medical Lake to fix their tire. He denied breaking the law at any point.

Parsons’ shoes were covered in red fire retardant dropped from aircraft fighting the fire, indicating they were in areas they were not allowed to be in, documents say.

The two were arrested on suspicion of residential burglary. The detective said in documents that more charges are forthcoming after he locates the victims of the crimes to which Guerrero admitted.

The release said Spokane police, the sheriff’s office and numerous other law enforcement agencies responded to the Gray and Oregon Road fire areas since the fires broke out to prevent crime.

Guerrero and Parsons made their first court appearances Tuesday and are scheduled for arraignments next Tuesday. Both remained in jail Tuesday night.
