PUBLIC SAFETY LOG THURSDAY 2:40 a.m. - Hermiston police responded to Country Squire Estates, 1500 N.E. 10th St., on a report of a male stealing bicycles. Officers did not find the culprit. 8:32 a.m. - Umatilla police received a report from a resident on Fourth Street who reported his neighbor’s vehicle partially blocking his driveway around four to five years ago. We’re thinking “years” has to be the wrong word, right? Days or hours, probably? 9:32 a.m. - A woman told Pendleton police that about 30 minutes earlier her boyfriend wouldn’t let her get out of the vehicle, so she hit him and jumped out. 12:51 p.m. - The Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office received a report of animal abuse and/or neglect on East Birch Creek Road, Pilot Rock. 5:22 p.m. - Drivers “spinning cookies” on Rieth Road near Pendleton received a warning from a Umatilla County sheriff’s deputy. 8:04 p.m. - Five people were fighting at Southwest Goodwin Avenue and Sixth Street, Pendleton, according to a 9-1-1 call. 9 p.m. - Stanfield police warned people who were out with flashlights near a home on Lena Drive. 10:33 p.m. - Hermiston police responded to a report of domestic violence at Viewcrest Apartments, 525 S.W. 13th Place, Hermiston. ARRESTS, CITATIONS Thursday •Well, he gave it a try. An Oregon State Police trooper at 12:34 p.m. responded to Eastern Oregon Tactical, 138 E. Main St., Hermiston, for a firearms denial and found Kolton Jeffery Boedigheimer, 25, of Hermiston, tried to buy a gun. Boedigheimer, however, ran into a problem with the purchase. Turns out a Umatilla County grand jury on March 31 indicted Boedigheimer for first-degree theft, and on Tuesday he pleaded not guilty to the charge. Circuit Judge Christopher Brauer of the 6th Judicial District released Boedigheimer on his own recognizance under certain conditions, including obeying all laws. According to state police, Boedigheimer marked on the firearms transaction record (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives form 4473) that he was not under indictment for a felony. The trooper cited Boedigheimer for unsworn falsification. He remains free. •Umatilla tribal police arrested Ricky Tyler Gerardo Martinez, 22, no address provided, for driving under the influence of intoxicants. •Oregon State Police arrested Kimberlee Joanne Lear, 24, of Hermiston, for DUII (alcohol and marijuana). •Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office arrested Jaime Torres, 22, of 115 N.E. 13th Ave., Milton-Freewater, for a probation violation and possession of methamphetamine. Friday •Pendleton police at 1:41 a.m. received a 9-1-1 report from the Circle K, 335 S.E. Court Ave., about a male fighting with the clerks. Officers arrived and arrested Johnathan Joel Rosario, 23, of Walla Walla, for fourth-degree assault, strangulation, and second-degree disorderly conduct. East Oregonian Page 7A Governor won’t pursue execution probe Associated Press LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas’ governor said Friday that he sees no reason for anything beyond a routine review of the state’s execution procedures after a condemned inmate lurched and convulsed 20 times during a lethal injec- tion that involved a controver- sial sedative. Attorneys for Kenneth Williams called for a full inves- tigation after Williams became the fourth convicted killer executed in Arkansas in eight days as the state sought to carry out as many lethal injections as possible before its supply of midazolam expires. “I think it’s totally unjus- tified,” Gov. Asa Hutchinson told reporters when asked about the possibility of an independent probe. “You don’t call for an independent investigation unless there’s some reason for it. Last night, one of the goals was there not be any indications of pain by the inmate, and that’s what I believe is the case.” Williams’ lawyers asked a federal judge to order officials to preserve all phys- ical evidence related to the inmate’s body. Kenneth Williams Hutchinson said Williams’ execution will be reviewed by the Department of Correction, which is typical any time an inmate is put to death. He said a written report would not be issued. The governor said he does not think Arkansas needs to change its execution protocol, citing court rulings that have upheld the use of midazolam, which has also been used in flawed execu- tions in other states. But he has not ordered prison offi- cials to find a replacement for Arkansas’ supply of the drug, which expires Sunday. An Associated Press reporter who witnessed the execution said that about three minutes in, Williams’ body jerked 15 times in quick succession, lurching violently against the leather restraint across his chest. Then the rate slowed for a final five movements. Hutchinson said Arkansas Department of Correction Director Wendy Kelley described Williams’ move- ment as “coughing without noise,” though media witnesses described hearing sounds from the inmate. Williams’ attorneys released a statement calling the witness accounts “horri- fying.” The American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas also called for an investiga- tion, arguing that the state may have violated the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of cruel and unusual punish- ment. In a statement Friday, the organization’s executive director, Rita Sklar, said the governor had “ignored the dangers ... all to beat the expi- ration date on a failed drug.” Arkansas had planned eight executions over an 11-day period, the most ambi- tious schedule since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. But courts issued stays for four of the inmates. The four lethal injections that were carried out included Monday’s first double execution in the U.S. since 2000. Williams read a prepared final statement and also spoke in tongues, the unintelligible speech used in some religions. But his prayer faded off as the midazolam took effect. The inmate breathed heavily through his nose until just after three minutes into his execution, when his chest leaped forward in a series of what seemed like involuntary movements. His right hand never clenched, and his face remained what one media witness called “serene.” After the jerking, Williams breathed through his mouth and moaned or groaned once — during a consciousness check — until falling still seven minutes after the lethal injection. In a log of Williams’ final hours that the state filed in federal court Friday, prison officials said it took 17 minutes to connect the inmate’s IV lines. The log said Williams’ hands remained relaxed and he did not grimace or show distress on his face during the movement.
