SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Spokane County is seeing an increase in people seeking legal protection orders because of domestic violence. Every month for the past several months, the number of orders has reached more than 500 as compared to a previous average of 300 a month. The uptick has sparked a new initiative to speed up and improve police response rates to domestic violence calls in the county. Authorities aren’t sure why protection orders are increasing in the county.

COLVILLE, Wash. (AP) — Washington state officials say the body of a missing pilot has been found.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A Washington state man has been sentenced to 26 years in prison for the beating death of his 20-day-old son.

POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) — A judge has sentenced an Idaho doctor to seven months in prison for receipt and delivery of misbranded breast implants given to patients. Prosecutors announced Thursday that 55-year-old Temp Ray Patterson was also sentenced to one year of supervised release after his prison sentence. The former Burley doctor was also ordered to pay $8,200 of restitution and a $10,000 fine. Court documents say he mislead patients into wrongly believing the implants were federally approved.
