The Pendleton man who
ired at Oregon State Police
troopers during a high-speed
pursuit was sentenced to 15
years in prison.
Umatilla County Circuit
Court sentenced Bryan
Alberto Corona, 24, on
Tuesday to 180 months
without the possibility of
early release.
On Jan. 2, 2016, two OSP
troopers — Ryan Sharp,
the driver, and Mitch Pace,
an OSP recruit trooper —
attempted to stop a vehicle
A spike strip
later lattened at
least one tire on
Corona’s vehicle.
Sharp
then
drove his vehicle
into
Corona’s,
causing it to spin
and come to rest in
a ditch on the east
side of the road.
Corona attempted
to lee the scene on foot, but
he was struck and injured by
another OSP vehicle arriving
on the scene. Corona was
treated at Oregon Health &
Science University Hospital
Man admits roadside
shooting was staged
in Portland before being
incarcerated.
On May 3, Corona
pleaded guilty to two counts
of attempted aggravated
murder, unlawful use of
a weapon, attempting to
elude a police oficer and
two counts of recklessly
endangering another person.
As part of a plea agreement,
Corona also pleaded guilty
to unlawful delivery of
methamphetamine from an
incident on June 25, 2015,
and admitted to violating his
probation from his prior riot
conviction in 2015.
PORTLAND — A devel-
oper convicted in a mortgage
fraud scheme has pleaded
guilty to additional federal
charges after admitting he
ordered his son to shoot
him in the legs in an effort
to collect on a disability
insurance policy and delay
his prison sentence.
Shannon Egeland, 41,
pleaded guilty Wednesday to
conspiracy to commit wire
fraud and willful failure to
pay child support.
Egeland was vice pres-
ident of the now-defunct
Desert Sun Development
company, which orches-
trated tens of millions of
dollars in mortgage fraud
during Central Oregon’s real
estate boom and bust from
2004 to 2008.
A judge ordered him to
federal prison on Aug. 1,
2014, to begin serving a
10-year sentence. The day
before he was to report, he
was wounded in a roadside
shooting near Caldwell,
Idaho.
Egeland, who had moved
to Idaho in 2013, told police
he was hit in the head
and shot in the legs after
stopping to help a pregnant
motorist in the middle of the
night. It was later revealed
the shooting was staged, and
he had directed his teenage
son to shoot him with a
20-gauge shotgun.
BRIEFLY
this year, putting the Washington-
centered industry in a better position
to respond to continuing growth of
the craft beer industry.
The recent report from the Hop
Growers of America says total U.S.
hop acreage in production this year is
projected to increase by about 6,000
acres, or about 13 percent.
The Yakima Herald-Republic
says the vast majority of those new
acres are expected to be in the Paciic
Northwest, including the Yakima
Valley, where about 75 percent of the
nation’s hops are grown.
The report was prepared for
the International Hop Growers
Convention in Paris last month.
Hops are used primarily to lavor
beer, and demand for the plant has
grown as craft beers have become
more popular.
Walla Walla mayor to
run for state rep

Pomraning announced he is joining

Mary Ruth Edwards and Bill Jenkin,
both Prosser residents, and Walla
Walla resident Skyler Rude. All three
are also running as Republicans.
The oficial candidate iling period

Lawyer for Klamath
sheriff asks for dismissal
of indictment
Hops production rises to
meet craft brewer needs
KLAMATH FALLS (AP) — A
defense attorney has asked for charges
against Klamath County Sheriff
Frank Skrah to be dismissed, saying
YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — A new
report says production of hops is up
the indictment from last fall doesn’t
conform to legal requirements.
Rosalind Lee said in a motion
two weeks ago that the indictment
covers four alleged incidents and
should therefore be four separate
indictments.
Skrah has been charged assault,
harassment, strangulation and oficial
misconduct. The allegations stem
from complaints that he mistreated
suspects.
The sheriff has denied wrongdoing
and remains on the job.
The charges coincided with
state and county labor complaints
from deputies who claim Skrah
retaliated against them after they were
interviewed by state investigators.
The Herald and News reports
that an initial union complaint was
resolved, but individual sheriff’s
ofice employees continue to threaten
legal action because of workplace
violations.

The wire fraud charge
stems from a disability insur-
ance policy that Egeland
applied for a week before
the shooting that caused an
amputation.
Besides suffering the
disability in a deceitful
manner, Egeland lied in the
application he sent across
state lines from Idaho to
Portland’s Standard Insur-
ance Company. He told the
company he had not been
arrested in the past 10 years.
In addition to the fraud
case that netted him a
decade behind bars, he
had committed two other
crimes. In late 2010, he was
convicted of selling drugs
within 1,000 feet of a school.
In 2013, he was convicted of
theft for stealing $9 worth of
items from a store.
Egeland,
beyond
answering
procedural
questions, did not make a
statement at Wednesday’s
hearing in Portland. Assis-
tant U.S. Attorney Scott
Bradford said he planned
to recommend a ive-year
prison sentence, tacked
onto what Egeland’s already
serving.
U.S. District Court Judge
Anna Brown scheduled
sentencing for Oct. 5, though
it could get pushed back
because it coincides with
the trial she is overseeing for
Ammon Bundy and others
charged with occupying a
national wildlife refuge in
Oregon.
