Corrissa Barnett has been
indicted on additional assault
charges after allegedly crash-
ing an SUV into a Seaside bus
stop shelter in late September ,
Corrissa Barnett
killing one man and critically
injuring another.
Barnett now faces 10 fel-
ony charges — fi rst-degree
manslaughter,
second-de-
gree assault, three counts
of
third-degree
assault,
fourth-degree assault, stran-
gulation and three counts of
failure to perform the duties
of a driver. She is also charged
with misdemeanor driving
under the infl uence of intoxi-
cants. She pleaded not guilty
to the charges Monday in Cir-
cuit Court.
The incident took place
about 9 p.m. when Seaside Po-
lice responded to a disturbance
call at a residence. A woman
was reportedly being assaulted
with two minor children pres-
ent at the home.
After hearing a highly in-
toxicated person involved in
the disturbance was driving,
police attempted to stop a
1999 Dodge Durango alleged-
ly driven by Barnett. The Du-
rango, moving at a high rate of
speed with the headlights off,
then hit the police car before
speeding away.
Soon after, as the SUV was
headed northbound on U.S.
Highway 101, the car jumped
a sidewalk outside of McDon-
ald’s restaurant, struck a con-
crete light pole and slammed
into a bus stop shelter occupied
by two men. Robert Miles, 42,
of Hammond — died, while

A fi re to a single-story double-wide trail-
er on Friday, Oct. 6, at about 12:30 p.m. in
the 33700 block of Highway 26 in Seaside
displaced two adults.
It appeared the fi re started a day or two
before in a void space between two sec-
tions of roof next to the chimney of a wood
stove after the occupants had used the wood
stove, Seaside Fire Division Chief Dave
Rankin said Saturday.
“It appeared the fi re had been smolder-
ing for some time before burning though
the roof,” Rankin said. “A neighbor saw
the smoke, evacuated the two residents, and
had his wife dial 911 while he got up on
the roof and started trying to put the fi re out
with a garden hose.”
Seaside sent two engines and Gearhart
stood by Seaside’s fi re station to cover the
city.
“We had to do some extensive over-
haul and cut a large section of the top roof
to reach the void space and extinguish the
smoldering areas of fi re which had spread
along the top of the lower roof,” Rankin
said.
There was also some extensive water
damage from the garden hose inside the
living room and kitchen and minor smoke
damage to the rest of the structure.
The scene was cleared around noon Fri-
day.
The Red Cross responded to help ad-
dress the immediate basic needs of those
affected such as temporary housing, food,
clothing, comfort kits with toiletry items,
information about recovery services, and
health and mental health services.
