KENNEWICK — The Washington State Patrol reported Tuesday that detectives arrested Kayla B. Shuttleworth of Umatilla, along with Sergio A. Villanueva of Pasco, in relation to last Thursday’s drive-by shooting on State Route 397 in Kennewick.

Shuttleworth and Villanueva were both booked into the Benton County Jail on charges of first-degree assault, drive-by shooting and possessing a weapon capable of bodily harm.
