Kris Crocker hosted the Women Helping Women luncheon in Spokane today. The foundation is a non-profit, dedicated to empowering women to help create healthy families and vibrant communities.

Created in 1992 by six Spokane women, the group raises money for women and children in need in our community. Today's fundraising luncheon featured keynote speaker Bonnie St. John, picked by Nightly News as one of the five most influential women in America.

More than 16-hundred people were in attendance, and raised $250 thousand.

When a person goes to jail, should they lose their right to receive medication? A Spokane father said that's what happened to his teenage son, denying his mental health drugs behind bars.

Rob Lee worries without them, the young inmate will hurt himself or someone else.

Back in December his 19-year-old son was one of several people caught shooting paintball guns at people sitting at bus stops. He was sentenced to nine months in the Spokane County Jail but when his dad surrendered his son to be punished, corrections deputies refused the teen's mental health medications.

"He never missed a court date, he accepts full responsibility for his actions," Lee said.

Lee makes no bones about his son's guilt or sentence but suspects his boy wound up behind bars because of the teen's mental health problems, bi-polar disorder, among them.

"When he was originally arrested on these charges in December he had been in jail for 10 days and did not receive any medical treatment what so ever of that 10 days so we had a heads up," Lee said.

For the second time in a week a Spokane police officer is under investigation and has been placed on administrative leave.

The Spokane Police Department confirmed Monday morning Officer Darren Quarles has been placed on administrative leave. An internal affairs investigation into Quarles is underway.

Police gave no further details as to the nature of the investigation and Chief Frank Straub declined to comment on the matter.

Quarles is the second Spokane police officer and the third local law enforcement to be placed on leave in the last week.

Officer Jeff Graves was placed on leave by Straub after allegations of misconduct were leveled against him. An internal affairs investigation and two separate criminal investigations -- one by the police department and a second by the Spokane County Sheriff's Office -- are underway.

Spokane County Sheriff's detective Dale Toliver was also placed on administrative leave while he is under investigation by the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office for an assault near Odessa last weekend.
