Sheriff’s office nets five DUII arrests over Memorial Day weekend East Oregonian The Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office reported deputies worked extra patrols during the Memorial Day Weekend and made five arrests for driving under the influence of intoxicants.

Her blood-alcohol level was .13 percent. •Roberts at about 9:15 p.m. Saturday drove an unmarked car northbound on Highway 395 out of Hermiston when a car passed going about 90 mph. That led to a stop and the arrest of Jacob Joe Martinez, 32, of Hermiston, whose blood-alcohol level was .14 percent. •About two hours later, deputy Trevor Limburg responded to the 1500 block of North Ott Road outside of Hermiston to help city police find a driver that was in a hit-and-run crash at the edge of the city limits.
