ARRESTS, CITATIONS •Morrow County Sheriff’s Ofﬁ ce at 1:46 a.m. received a report of a person pushing someone who was yelling for help in the area of Kunze Lane, Boardman. Sheriff’s deputies, Boardman police and the ambulance service and Oregon State Police responded. Deputies arrested Leobardo Jacquez III, 41, of 612 N.E. Oak St., Hermiston, on domestic violence charges of kidnapping, strangulation and assault. State court records show Jacquez has a long history of arrests and criminal prosecutions in Morrow and Umatilla counties on charges ranging from vehicle theft to drug posses- sion to domestic violence. •Umatilla tribal police arrested Venesiah Rose Broncheau Thompkins, 19, of 49872 N. Cayuse Road, Pendleton, for felony attempt to ﬂ ee a police ofﬁ cer. •Milton-Freewater police arrested Darrell Wayne Partin, 59, no address provided, for driving under the inﬂ uence of intoxicants. •Who says there’s never a cop when you need one? Two vehicles crashed at about 5:10 p.m. on South Highway 395 near milepost 14 south of Pendleton. Oregon State Police troopers responded and found there were no injuries. State police reported trooper Dan Chichester was investi- gating the crash at about 6:15 p.m. when just south of the scene he saw a large cloud of dust and dirt and a Mitsubishi Lancer zoom out of a ﬁ eld and sail into the air east to west and come crashing down on the highway. The driver, Kody Lawrence Rooper, 22, of Pendleton, refused treatment from medics. State police reported Rooper drove the car into a ﬁ eld on the east side of Highway 395, turned south and cruised parallel with the road, then turned right, slammed through a barbed wire fence and became airborne. Rooper showed no signs of impairment, and Chichester arrested him for reckless driving and took him to St. Anthony Hospital, Pendleton, where he was treated and released. The trooper then released Rooper at the hospital.

Prosecutors had a different take. “There’s one statement that’s most important and that’s the jury’s statement: guilty on those counts,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Bridget Rohde. Prosecutors had accused Shkreli of repeatedly misleading investors about what he was doing with their money. Mostly, he was blowing it with horrible stock picks, forcing him to cook up a scheme to recover millions in losses, they said. Shkreli, 34, told “lies upon lies,” including claiming he had $40 million in one of his funds at a time when it only had about $300 in the bank, Assistant U.S. Attorney Alixandra Smith said in closing arguments. The trial “has exposed Martin Shkreli for who he really is — a con man who stole millions,” added another prosecutor, Jacquelyn Kasulis. But the case was tricky for the government because investors who testiﬁ ed said Shkreli’s scheme actually succeeded in making them richer, in some cases doubling or even tripling their money on his compa- ny’s stock when it went public. “Who lost anything? Nobody,” Brafman said in his closing argument. Some investors had to admit on the witness stand that partnering with Shkreli was “the greatest investment I’ve ever made,” he added. While the convictions carry maximum penalties of years in prison, Brafman said that the lack of ﬁ nancial harm meant that Shkreli could get no jail time when he is sentenced. A sentencing date has yet to be set.
