Detectives with the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office arrested a man from Tumwater in connection with the July 26 house fire on Tipsoo Loop in Rainier that killed 58-year-old Gabriel Ayala. He is being charged with 1st Degree Murder and 1st Degree Arson.

Police first contacted the suspect, Jaime Montalvo-Martinez, at the Fred Meyer store in Lacey in the afternoon of July 25th. He was “telling people that strangers were following him and was reported to be ‘acting strange'”, according to charging documents. He was reported to be transient and dealing with substance abuse issues.

Montalvo-Martinez’ mother picked him up at the Fred Meyer in Lacey, and transported him to meet his step-father, Gabriel Ayala. Mr. Ayala took Montalvo-Martinez back to his residence in the 900 blk of Tipsoo Loop N in Rainier.

A few hours later, neighbors called 911 to report that the house was on fire.

Montalvo-Martinez told investigators that he awoke to smoke, opened his bedroom door and saw flames, and exited through his bedroom window. He said that he then helped another resident out of the home.

When detectives interviewed the other resident, they said that Montalvo-Martinez never helped them out of the house. When they exited, they saw Montalvo-Martinez outside with a machete, which detectives have been unable to locate.

After the fire, Montalvo-Martinez went back to his mother’s home and washed his clothes. Police took these clothes as evidence, and when processed by a crime lab, the testing determined that gasoline was present on his sweatpants, his blanket (when exiting the house, he had the blanket wrapped around him), and his shoes.

Accelerant detection K9 Hansel from, Central Pierce Fire, responded to the scene, and Hansel alerted that accelerants were present in multiple areas of the burned trailer. A melted red plastic lump was found on the back porch of the residence, thought to be the remains of a gas can.

An autopsy was performed on Gabriel Ayala, who perished in the fire. The cause of death was determined to be “inhalation of products of combustion”.

Montalvo-Martinez is currently being held in the Thurston County Jail on one million dollars bail.

The Arrest Report is now available for Wednesday, December 16th, 2020. Agencies in Thurston County made 1 felony arrest, 3 misdemeanor arrests, and 3 warrant arrest (1 felony, 2 misdemeanor) for a total of 7.

12/15/2020 @ 1200

The three men arrested by a multi-jurisdictional civil event response team at a confrontation during opposing protests on Saturday have all been charged with varying levels of felony assault, and have since been released on bail.

The Shooting

Prosecutors charged Forest M. Machala, 25, of Bellingham, with Assault in the First Degree after he allegedly shot a 20-year old male in the abdomen near the intersection of 15th Ave and Columbia St SW, near the State Capitol Campus.

Troopers took Machala into custody after he entered his vehicle in the area. The shooting victim was taken by private vehicle to St. Peter’s Hospital, where he was taken into surgery. The bullet passed completely through the victim’s torso.

There was also a second reported shooting in the area, but detectives have located neither a suspect or a gunshot victim. When the suspect from the first shooting was taken into custody, a Glock 9mm pistol was found on his person. The magazine in the pistol contained seven bullets, when it was capable of carrying ten. An additional full magazine was found on his person also.

One spent shell casing was recovered by detectives, but it does not match the caliber found on Machala’s person. It is believed this shell casing was from the second shooting.

Machala has been released on bail. The exact amount of the bail is not known. He was released Monday evening after his preliminary court appearance.

Two Felony Assaults on Police Officers

The second and third suspects were taken into custody by Thurston County deputies after the two suspects assaulted the deputies. One of the suspects used a baton in the assault.

Charles S. Gaston, 38, has been charged with three counts of Assault 2nd Degree while Armed with a Deadly Weapon, felony Criminal Mischief while Armed with a Deadly Weapon, and Resisting Arrest. He was released on bail Tuesday.

Deputies with the SWAT Team were attempting to take 10 to 15 “rioters” into custody near the intersection of Union Ave and Capitol Way. The rioters were armed with homemade shields, gas masks, batons, sticks, and baseball bats, according to the Deputy’s report. OPD officers and TCSO deputies ordered the group to disperse or face arrest.

When a TCSO Sergeant attempted to arrest Gaston for failing to disperse when ordered, Gaston assaulted three deputies with a metal baton with metal daggers protruding from it. The TCSO Sergeant had a fresh contusion on his right shin from Gaston’s baton, the report reads.

Gaston was joined in his assault effort by 37-year-old Thomas E. Johnson. Johnson was also arrested and charged in the Superior Court with two counts of assault of a law enforcement officer, as well as criminal mischief and resisting arrest. Johnson assaulted two Deputies by pushing them and punching them repeatedly in the upper chest area.

Both Gaston and Johnson have since been released on bail, also.

The Arrest Report is now available for Sunday, December 13th, 2020. Agencies in Thurston County made 2 felony arrests, 5 misdemeanor arrests, and 1 warrant arrest (1 felony, 0 misdemeanor) for a total of 8.
