Walmart: Company broke ground in September
Continued from Page 1A
more than 12,000 people in the state. It provides
full-time employees with benefits, 10 weeks of
maternal leave, six weeks of parental leave and
quarterly bonuses based on store performance.
Full-time workers receive assistance obtain-
ing a GED and college degrees, along with one
free year of Rosetta Stone language education,
Smith said. Employees are also provided up to
$5,000 in assistance to adopt a child.
The 153,000-square-foot store will include
apparel, groceries, garden, bedding, bath-
room, toys, electronics, automotive and sport-
ing goods departments, along with a Subway
restaurant.
Several other tenants will be included around
the periphery of the store.
Walmart first announced plans to build on
the North Coast in 2009. The site at the cor-
ner of Ensign Lane and U.S. Highway 101 in
the North Coast Retail Center was selected in
2012. The company broke ground on the store
in September.
Charges: ‘The risk to
the public could’ve been
pretty substantial’

The new Walmart Supercenter under construction at the North Coast Re-
tail Center in Warrenton will open June 13.
Flames from the fire
extended into the laundry
room. The fire was extin-
guished after a water pipe
burst and a ceiling sprinkler
activated, causing several
inches of water to flood the
ground floor. The incident
caused the hotel to temporar-
ily close.
Dozens of guests from 75
rooms were evacuated and
transferred to other hotels in
Astoria and Warrenton. No
injuries were reported.
Burke was indicted in late
January but has been held in
a California jail for a separate
probation violation.
It is unclear whether
Burke intended to cause
a fire at the hotel or sim-
ply damage property. He
has been charged with eight
counts of recklessly endan-
gering another person and
two counts of first-degree
criminal mischief.
“Frankly, the motel was
full,” Clatsop County Dep-
uty District Attorney Ron
Brown said. “The risk to the
public could’ve been pretty
substantial.”
Burke has yet to be trans-
ferred to the Clatsop County
Jail, and an arraignment has
not been scheduled.
Sturgell: Hearing on a motion to hold him without bail is scheduled for later this month
Continued from Page 1A
Jason
E.
Thompson,
Sturgell’s Salem-based attor-
ney, presented a polygraph test
in which Sturgell was asked
if he ever offered a bribe. The
test showed he was being truth-
ful when he denied making the
offer.
Thompson, in a document
provided to Brownhill before
the hearing, wrote that sitting in
jail would be a “hardship” for
Sturgell, a crab fisherman. The
crab season ends in March.
Thompson also said Wednes-
day that $5,000 would be just a
“drop in the bucket” for Sturgell
— who had posted $50,000 bail
— to convince someone to drop
sex crime charges.
“He went there. They
might’ve broached the sub-
ject even, but the offer wasn’t
made,” Thompson said.
But after the meeting, which
lasted less than an hour, the
father then relayed the informa-
tion to his daughter.
“His assumption was that he
was asked to convey that, and
that’s what he did,” Shimanek
said.
The daughter, whom Shi-
manek described as “upset,
scared and concerned,” then
contacted the Clatsop County
Sheriff’s Office about the
alleged bribe and threat.
“Threats don’t have to be
explicit. In this case, it was not
OREGON CAPITAL
INSIDER
explicit but constantly implied,”
Greenawald said.
In February, two counts
of bribing a witness and two
counts of tampering with a wit-
ness were added to Sturgell’s
indictment. Leitch was indicted
on those same four charges and
released Feb. 23 after posting
$25,000 bail.
Brownhill said she will rule
on whether to revoke Sturgell’s
release agreement within the
next couple of weeks. She indi-
cated the ruling will depend on
further study of case law, specif-
ically whether a preponderance
of evidence or a higher standard
is required to revoke his release
agreement.
Prosecutors previously filed
a motion to hold Sturgell with-
out bail days before his Novem-
ber arrest. It includes statements
from three women saying that
Sturgell physically assaulted
them in the past.
The motion claims that the
fisherman showed up to the
alleged sexual assault victim’s
workplace days after the alleged
incident and repeatedly tried to
make contact with her. On one
occasion, the victim allegedly
had to push Sturgell away from
her in order to enter her car.
The victim was granted a
sexual abuse protection order
against Sturgell in February
2016. A hearing on a motion to
hold Sturgell in jail without bail
is scheduled for later this month.
Leitch is scheduled to be
arraigned on the indictment
later this month. Cunningham,
meanwhile, is scheduled for an
early resolution conference later
this month.
