UPS driver accused in Washougal-area trespassing, burglary cases

A Vancouver man working as a part-time UPS driver was arrested Tuesday after allegedly entering a Washougal-area home over the weekend while the residents were sleeping.

The homeowner contacted the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office at about 10:20 p.m. Saturday to report that a UPS delivery driver had entered their home off of Mabee Mines Road, northeast of Washougal, about an hour earlier.

The resident provided surveillance video that showed the driver enter the back door first, then proceed to the front door and enter, before walking down a hallway. The homeowner’s daughter confronted the driver; he left the package and exited the home, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

Then, on Sunday, another homeowner on Wantland Road, in the upper Washougal River area, called the sheriff’s office to report a similar incident. The UPS driver tried unsuccessfully to enter that home, the news release states.

The UPS Security Office and UPS Depot in Portland assisted with locating the driver, identified as 26-year-old Aiden M. Fetters. He was employed as a part-time, fill-in driver for the company, the sheriff’s office said.

Fetters was booked into the Skamania County Jail on suspicion of residential burglary, first-degree criminal trespassing and third-degree theft.
