Last week a Deschutes
County Grand Jury returned
an Indictment charging
David William Fincher with:
Manslaughter in The First
Degree; 5 counts of Assault in
The Third Degree; and DUII.
The Indictment alleges that
on September 11, 46-year-old
David William Fincher, from
Sherwood, Oregon, caused the
death of a two-year old girl,
and injured five others while
driving under the influence
of intoxicants. The incident
occurred on Highway 20 near
Tumalo.
Fincher was eastbound in a
pick-up truck when his truck
crossed the center line and
struck a car with the infant.
Fincher’s truck then struck a
third car causing injuries to all
three occupants. Alcohol was
a factor in the crash.
“Any loss of life is difficult
for family and friends to bear,”
said Deschutes County District
Attorney John Hummel. “But
the loss of an infant is par-
ticularly heart-wrenching.
Our traffic team is comprised
of some of the best trial attor-
neys in the state and we will
work hard to ensure that jus-
tice is done in this case.”
Fincher was arraigned
Monday on the indictment.
He is currently held in the
Deschutes County Jail and bail
is set at $500,000. His next
court hearing is October 10,
at 1:30 p.m., for entry of plea.

drew the winning ticket.
this year’s quilt! I’ve bought
tickets every year, but have
never won anything my entire
life other than once I won an
apple pie at a local political
group meeting — and I can’t
eat sugar. I never thought
I’d win, but always hoped.
I appreciate very much the
great work of the Furry
Friends Foundation. Every
pet deserves a healthy meal,
and the spaying and neutering
assistance provided is invalu-
able,” said Hale.
Hale brought along a pair
of yellow labs when she col-
lected her quilt at The Nugget
office last Friday. Barney, age
10, is a special companion.
“I just wanted a big dog
to protect me,” Hale said.
Barney’s temperament, how-
ever, is anything but intimi-
dating. He’s a lover. “He’d
probably kiss the burglars,”

Jeannie Hale and Barney visited the Nugget to pick up her quilt.
Hale said.
Hale was most excited to
win the quilt — and to sup-
port Furry Friends.
“It’s a wonderful cause,”
she said.
Hale also made a generous
contribution to the nonprofit,
which helps families keep
their pets in their homes by
operating a pet-food bank
and providing spay/neuter
sponsorships and assistance
with emergency medical
needs to families in financial
hardship.
And the winner is...
