Woman charged with assault
on 8-month-old baby
On June 29, 2015, Kira
Vansickle of 2492 Carter
St., Baker City, Oregon,
(dob 11/17/89) was ar-
raigned in Baker County
Circuit Court on one count
of Assault in the First
Degree and one count of
Criminal Mistreatment in
the First Degree.
Vansickle is charged
with crimes relating to
causing abusive head
trauma to an 8-month-old
infant who was in her care.
The crimes are alleged
to have occurred in Sep-
tember of 2014.
The Baker County Ma-
jor Crime Team has been
investigating the case.
The victim was life
fl ighted to St. Luke’s
Children’s Hospital on
September 20, 2014, and
had suffered severe head
injuries.
The injuries to the child
will likely result in lifelong
permanent impairment.

Kidnapped woman saved by
911 call in northeast Oregon
On June 27, 2015
at about 6:12 a.m., the
Morrow County Sheriff's
Offi ce received a 911 call
from a female who advised
she had been kidnapped
and was trapped in a car
traveling on I-84.
Members from the
Morrow County Sheriff's
Offi ce, Gilliam County
Sheriff's Offi ce and Ore-
gon State Police responded
and located the vehicle on
I-84 traveling westbound
near milepost 143 (east of
Arlington).
Law enforcement
stopped the vehicle and
the driver was identifi ed as
William T Cooter II, age
42, of Greeneville, TN.
The female was located
inside the vehicle and iden-
tifi ed as the person who
called 911.
A roadside investigation
revealed Cooter had as-
saulted and held his female
passenger against her will.
The Fourth of July is fast
approaching and the
Baker County Sheriff’s
Offi ce would like to
remind visitors as well
as residents to drive
responsibly this holiday
weekend. The Baker
County Sheriff’s Offi ce
will be increasing patrols
during this busy time in an effort to prevent and
arrest alcohol as well as drug impaired drivers
who endanger not only themselves but all others
who share the road. The Sheriff’s Offi ce would
like to specifi cally remind citizens that though
marijuana use is now legal in our state, it is still a
crime to drive while under the infl uence and doing
so can result in a DUII arrest. Our wish is for all to
enjoy the holiday weekend but we ask that people
who consume alcohol or marijuana do so respon-
sibly and protect themselves and others by not
operating motor vehicles.
Further learned was Cooter
and the victim did not
know each other prior to
the incident.
Several Baker City
residents said they believe
they saw Cooter in town
the day prior looking for
employment.
Cooter was arrested and
was lodged at the Northern
Oregon Regional Cor-
rectional Facility in The
Dalles on the following
charges: Kidnapping 1st
Degree, Rape 1st Degree,
Sex Abuse 1st Degree,
Sodomy 1st Degree, As-
sault IV, Coercion, Menac-
ing, Unauthorized Use of a
Motor Vehicle, Unauthor-
ized Entry into a Motor
Vehicle, Criminal Mischief
2nd Degree, False Infor-
mation to a Police Offi cer,
Possession of Metham-
phetamine, and Interfering
with Making a Report.
