THURSDAY
The attorney for rape defendant
Shaun Allen Dick of Pendleton
asserted the accuser in this case set
up his client to steal guns worth
$50,000.
But whether Robert Klahn will
be able to make that argument when
Dick’s two-day trial starts Monday
in Pendleton will be up to Circuit
Judge Christopher Brauer.
Klahn claimed in court Friday
the woman in early 2015 cried rape
after a night of consensual sex so she
could get Dick, 38, out of his house
in Coombs Canyon a few miles
southwest of Pendleton. The woman
then arranged for others to break into
the house and steal around 40 guns,
some of them collector’s items.
Dick reported the burglary and
gun thefts on the evening of Jan. 22,
2015, while he still was a free man,
according to court documents. And
Klahn’s story comes from second-
and
even
third-hand
sources, including one man
at Two Rivers Correctional
Institution, Umatilla, who
Klahn said has “a little bit
of a reputation as a snitch.”
Umatilla County chief
deputy district attorney
Jaclyn Jenkins called
Klahn’s spiel nothing more
than hearsay and as such Dick
told the court it should not
be admissible as evidence.
Jenkins sought Friday’s hearing
to exclude the story before trial
began, but after Klahn called for a
sidebar, Jenkins asked Brauer not to
rule on her request. Rather, she said,
when Klahn brings it up at trial, she
will object.
Dick and the woman met through
an online dating site, according to
court documents, and on the evening
of Jan. 17, 2015, they engaged in
consensual sex. But the state claims
that changed in the morning, when
Dick became violent and subjected
the woman to “forceful,
nonconsensual
sexual
acts.”
The woman reported the
crimes the same morning,
which led to Dick’s arrest
Feb. 25, 2015, making him
the current longest-serving
inmate in the Umatilla
County Jail, Pendleton.
He faces eight counts,
including irst-degree rape,
irst-degree sodomy and unlawful
sexual penetration.
Brauer at the end of the hearing
Friday said this case has dragged
on long enough due to delays the
defense wanted. He told both attor-
neys they needed to be ready for trial
come Monday.
Jenkins said the state was ready.
Klahn, after some hemming and
hawing, said he, too, would be ready.

ARRESTS, CITATIONS
•The Morrow County Sheriff’s
Ofice cited Elizabeth McKinney
of Irrigon for maintaining a dog as
a public nuisance at large after a
resident on Pheasant Lane, Irrigon,
reported a Labrador trapped her
in her yard. The caller said this
seemed to amuse the neighbor
who owned the dog rather than
prompting the owner to do
something about the situation.
•Umatilla tribal police arrested
Douglas Edward Springer, 58,
of 4103 N.E. Riverside Ave.,
Pendleton, for second-degree
attempted assault and menacing.
•Hermiston police arrested
Rachel Elizabeth Collyer, 32, of
Hermiston, on a misdemeanor
warrant for fail to appear and on
charges of possession of meth-
amphetamine, felon in possession
weapon, and carrying concealed
weapons.
Recantation rumor puts kidnapping plea deal on hold
By PHIL WRIGHT
East Oregonian
One of four co-defendants
involved in an April kidnapping in
Pendleton planned to change her
plea to guilty until the rumor of
recantation reared up.
The Umatilla County District
Attorney’s Ofice charged Steph-
anie Carr, 22, of Pendleton, with
second-degree kidnapping for her
role in the April 24 plot against Saul
Christopher Jacquez. Court docu-
ments show the state would dismiss
the class B felony if Carr pleaded
guilty to attempted coercion, a class
A misdemeanor, for threatening to
harm Jacquez during the kidnapping
scenario.
But defense attorney Dan
Stephens of Hermiston told the
court his client heard Jacquez may
have recanted his statement.
Pendleton
police
reported
Jacquez claimed Sarah Carr, the
older sister of Stephanie Carr,
arranged to pay him money she
owed. But Sarah Carr and her
cohorts on April 24 took Jacquez
against his will to a ield outside
Pendleton, where she stung him
with an electronic stun gun, then
left him.
Chief deputy district attorney
Jaclyn Jenkins told the court that
was the irst she heard of any recan-
tation, and she would check with
Jacquez. Stephens asked Circuit
Judge Christopher Brauer to delay
the change of plea until there is
conirmation on whether Jacquez
changed his statements. Brauer
re-set the hearing for Aug. 12 at 10
a.m.
Two other defendants already
changed their pleas.
Brad McDonald, 35, of Pend-
leton, also faced a charge of
second-degree kidnapping until
he pleaded no contest on July 14
to attempted coercion, the same
charge Stephanie Carr now faces.
McDonald is out of jail and has
a sentence hearing Sept. 14. The
plea petition shows he agreed to
three years of court probation,
must write a letter of apology to the
victim, among other punishments,
and agreed to testify at the state’s
request.
And Daniel Joseph Avila,
28, pleaded guilty on July 19 to
second-degree kidnapping and
received 46 months — almost four
years — in state prison.
Sarah Carr, 25, remains in the
Umatilla County Jail, Pendleton,
and faces charges of second-degree
kidnapping, second- and third-de-
gree attempted assault, menacing,
and second-degree use of a stun gun.
She has a trial readiness hearing
Thursday, and if there are no delays
her three-day trial starts Aug. 29.
HERMISTON
Flatbed pickup catches on ire at Sherrell Chevrolet
East Oregonian
The Umatilla County Sheriff’s
ofice and the Umatilla County Fire
District responded to a report of a car
on ire late Thursday night.
A passerby called emergency
personnel at 11:12 p.m. to report a
blaze at Sherrell Chevrolet, 2258 N.
First St., Hermiston. A latbed pickup
parked near the service garage caught
ire from an apparent electrical issue.
Deputies from the sheriff’s ofice had
to cut locks off a chain link fence
at the dealership to access the ire.
The ire was out shortly after crews
responded.
“Everyone did a great job,” Kari
Christiansen, owner of Sherrell
Chevrolet said. Christiansen did not
want to comment further, nor would
she allow photos to be taken of the
damage due to the ongoing insurance
investigation and the process of noti-
fying owners of the effected vehicles.
There were no injuries and no
damage to the building itself. At least
one vehicle parked near the latbed
appeared to have sustained some
damage from the ire.
Fire Chief Scott Stanton said the
business was lucky the building or
more vehicles were not affected.
Sherrell Chevrolet was open for
normal business hours Friday
morning.
