ARRESTS, CITATIONS

West Sperry and Northwest Morgan streets.
•Pendleton police arrested Tedd Lawrence Hall, 52, of

Saturday
•Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office arrested Eric Donald
Sommerville, 20, of 405 S.W. 11th St., Hermiston, for
delivery of heroin, unlawful possession of marijuana, DUII
(controlled substance), reckless driving, tampering with
physical evidence and on a warrant for failure to appear.
•Oregon State Police tracked down and cited the driver
who abandoned a pickup after a crash near Athena.
Troopers responded Saturday at about 5:10 p.m. to a
crash on Highway 334 between Mansfield and Gerking
Flat roads, about a mile west of Athena.
State police reported an eastbound Dodge R35 pickup
went off the highway and drove along the shoulder until
crashing into a power pole hard enough to bounce and
hit the cab’s roof on the pole. The pickup then rolled onto
its top and blocked the eastbound lanes and part of the
westbound as well.
The pickup was a ranch vehicle, state police reported,
and all the tools and tool boxes it hauled “were scattered
all over the highway.”
State police received information the crash may
have ejected someone, but no one was at the scene.
Police contacted the vehicle’s owner, who identified the
employee using the pickup. That employee in turn told
troopers his girlfriend was the driver. State police cited
Whitney McCall, 25, of Athena, for failing to report the
crash and to drive within the lane.

Police identify suspects,
sites in recent drug raids
East Oregonian
Pendleton police chief
Stuart Roberts identified the
three sites of last week’s drug
raids in Pendleton, Stanfield
and Milton-Freewater, as well
as everyone arrested.
The local Blue Mountain
Enforcement Narcotics Team
headed up the three busts
with help from local and state
police. Roberts, who chairs
the team’s board, said last
week each location sold drugs
and operated independently
of one another.
The first raid was Tuesday
at 3718 N.E. Riverside Ave.,
Pendleton, Roberts reported
in a written statement, where
police arrested Eddie Duane
Walker, 53, and Karen Alice
Nevins, 69, for possession and
delivery of methamphetamine
and heroin. Police also seized
scales, packaging material
and money from the home.
Raid
No.
2
was
Wednesday at 122 S.E. Third
Ave.,
Milton-Freewater.
Police again found evidence
of drug trafficking and made
10 arrests total at the site,
including the following on
frequenting a place where
controlled substances are
used, a misdemeanor, and
possession of methamphet-
amine, a felony: Gregorio
Diaz, 20; Nikole Rae
Patterson, 23; and Cristina
Rodriguez, 30. Terry Diaz, 27,
and Salvador Duran Saucedo
Jr., 27, face those charges as
well as delivery of meth, also
a felony.
The other five suspects at
this time only face the misde-
meanor frequenting charge.
Police also found a large
amount of stolen property
within the residence as well
as several firearms, according
to Roberts, and BENT and
Umatilla County Sheriff’s
Office are investigating that.
The sweep wrapped up
Thursday at 435 N. Sloan
St., Stanfield, where police
arrested Arnoldo Angel
Almonte, 35, and Shelby
Anne Tucker, 25, for posses-
sion and distribution of
methamphetamine.
Roberts stated the busts
were the results of investi-
gations lasting three to six
months involving multiple
people in the illegal drug
trade in Umatilla County.
Some suspects have
previous arrests for drugs or
other crimes, according to
court records. The drug case
now goes to the district attor-
ney’s office for prosecution.
