Both Daren Dean Bowlby and Alexander Lee Rogers were transferred from Cowlitz County Jail to a state correctional facility on December 5, 2025. As of today, December 6, 2025, the exact destination has not been publicly disclosed.
Bowlby pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide. Reportedly, he was intoxicated when he caused the deadly crash, killing 57-year-old semi-truck driver Brian Campbell of Salem, OR, by driving the wrong way on I-5 near Lexington at Exit 42. Bowlby was represented by attorney Daniel Morgan (Morgan Defense Law), and he had no prior criminal history. Bowlby was sentenced to 90 months (7.5 years).
Rogers has an extensive violent criminal history. He was convicted in 2002 and served 20 years (2003–2024) in prison for first-degree burglary, and first- and second-degree assault. After his release in October 2024, he was working as a handyman, where he fatally stabbed 64-year-old Dawn Peters and seriously injured her brother-in-law, 73-year-old Andrew Peters, in their Terumi Lane home. Rogers fled after the victims were able to activate a medical alert. Rogers was arrested in California and was extradited back to Longview without incident. Rogers was sentenced to 503.25 months (41.9 years).

Dr. Gordon E. Johns, 77, of Chehalis, WA, a noted ophthalmologist, was killed on State Route 6 near milepost 50, west of Chehalis (Lewis County; ~10 miles east of Centralia) on Thursday, December 4, 2025.
Johns had over 50 years of experience; he practiced in Chehalis and was affiliated with Providence Centralia Hospital and the Chehalis and Olympia Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute locations.
Johns was driving a white 2021 BMW 5-series eastbound when a westbound semi-truck (driven by Eric M. Stanton, 41, of Longview, WA) pulled out of a parking lot and turned into his path. The BMW struck the semi’s trailer; Johns was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The Washington State Patrol (WSP) is investigating the accident; no immediate fault has been assigned, and no injuries were reported for the semi driver. Drugs/alcohol appeared not to play a factor in the crash. John’s death has been confirmed by the Washington State Patrol, and the family was notified.
Johns grew up in Michigan; he and his wife, Suzy, have five children. He majored in biology during undergraduate studies and earned his medical degree (MD) from Loma Linda University School of Medicine in 1973. He completed ophthalmology residency, followed by specialized fellowship training in glaucoma. He served for 13 years as an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, where he directed the glaucoma services division and focused on advanced diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
He was known for specializing in comprehensive ophthalmology, with emphasis on glaucoma management, cataract extraction, and intraocular pressure control, and for meticulous evaluations of complex cases.
His publications include “Combined Trabeculectomy and Cataract Extraction” (American Journal of Ophthalmology, co-authored with William E. Layden). “Levobunolol and Betaxolol: A Double-Masked Controlled Comparison of Efficacy and Safety in Patients with Elevated Intraocular Pressure” (Ophthalmology, co-authored with Daniel A. Long et al.).
On Monday, December 1, 2025, Ramon Tovar Jimenez (also spelled Tovar-Jimenez in some reports) was arrested, and reportedly booked into the Cowlitz County Jail by Longview Police Department (LPD) officers at the Store N’ Deli parking lot (447 Oregon Way, Longview) following an altercation during a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation.
Jimenez is a 35-year-old resident of Longview, Washington. He has lived in the United States since 2008 and is reported to be a legal resident who owns a local business. He is married, and community members, including a long-time acquaintance of his wife, have described him as a hardworking individual involved in the local community, potentially connected to day laborer networks.
According to police and other news reports, ICE agents were detaining another individual (a 20-year-old man, per a relative’s account) when Jimenez allegedly intervened. Federal officers reported that Jimenez struck one agent “multiple times,” causing visible injuries. LPD responded to a 911 call around 6:35 a.m. reporting a physical fight involving people in tactical gear.
Although his name does not appear on the official jail roster as booked into the facility, it has been reported that Jimenez was booked into Cowlitz County Jail on charges of: Third-degree assault (a felony under Washington state law, RCW 9A.36.031, involving assault on a law enforcement officer) and Obstructing a law enforcement officer.
LPD clarified they were not involved in the ICE operation and only handled the assault investigation within city limits. Immigration enforcement is a federal matter, and LPD emphasized the City of Longview does not participate in such operations.
Jimenez appeared in Cowlitz County Superior Court on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, and is represented by attorney Maxwell Lee of Morgan Defense Law of Longview.
