A 42-year-old Appleton man was arrested by Klickitat County Sheriff’s deputies on charges related to burglaries in the area. In a statement, Klickitat County Sheriff Bob Songer said Arthur Smith was taken into custody after trying to flee after officers spotted a pickup truck that had been reported stolen last week in the Murdock area at a campsite off Fisher Hill Road near Appleton. Officers used tire tracks from the truck to link it to burglary scenes in the last week in the Appleton and Snowden Road areas. Songer said the Sheriff’s Office had been actively looking for Smith since August 2021 on an outstanding felony warrant for assault. The Sheriff’s Office has submitted numerous charges against Smith to the Klickitat County Prosecutor’s Office.
