Three suspects accused of stealing Farmington property will be…

Three people accused of stealing from a Farmington property are taking the matter to trial.

Melissa Pagel, 44, of Farmington, was the last to plead not guilty Friday morning in Whitman County Superior Court. She was charged with two counts of second-degree burglary and possession of a controlled substance.

Court documents show Gary French, 62, and Eric Harris, 55, both of Spokane, were arraigned Oct. 18 in Superior Court. Both pleaded not guilty to two counts of second-degree burglary.

On Oct. 15, Whitman County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to a property on Garfield-Farmington Road when a woman and two men were allegedly seen violating video surveillance, according to court documents.

The three allegedly got into a vehicle and drove to a secondary property owned by the same owner on Heise Road. Court documents show law enforcement officers stopped the vehicle and detained the individuals.
