ARRESTS, CITATIONS
Thursday
•Boardman police arrested then released Carlo Mendoza
Guzman, no age or address provided, for driving under the
influence of intoxicants. The arrest stemmed from the driver of an
18-wheeler who reported a Mercedes crashed into him at Laurel
Lane and Northeast Columbia Avenue, Boardman.
Friday
•Hermiston police arrested Kyle L. Decker, 27, of Hermiston,
for felony possession of a federally controlled substance and on
a warrant.
•Morrow County Planning Director Carla McLane crashed a
county vehicle at a rolling road block.
Oregon State Police reported McLane, 56, of Umatilla,
was driving a county-owned Dodge Durango at 8:48 a.m. on
westbound Interstate 84 near milepost 166 where crews were
installing power cables across the road. A helicopter helping
install the power lines distracted McLane, according to state
police, and the Durango crashed into an unoccupied Acura
Integra on the shoulder.
The Acura was part of the roadway control with flashing
amber lights, state police reported, and the collision totaled both
vehicles. McLane was not injured.
State police cited McLane for careless driving, but the agency
also reported the contractor in charge of traffic control failed to
restrict westbound traffic, which could lead to more investigation.
Saturday
•Multiple agencies at about 7:30 a.m. responded to the
Maple Crest Apartments, Boardman, for a woman with difficulty
breathing. The caller reported she was the victim of an assault.
The Boardman ambulance took the victim to Good Shepherd
Medical Center, Hermiston, and the Morrow County Sheriff’s
Office arrested Pedro Lopez-Larios, no age provided, for
domestic violence assault.
•Umatilla tribal police arrested Lavella Ruth Thompson, 24,
of Pendleton, for escape, dangerous drugs, criminal activity in
drugs and on a warrant for failure to appear.

Pendleton, for DUII.
•Morrow County Sheriff’s Office arrested Kari Lynn Rytting,
36, of Irrigon, for fourth-degree domestic violence assault,

HEPPNER
—
A
Hillsboro firefighter and
paramedic died Friday on
a hunting trip with a friend
near Heppner when a tree
fell on him.
Ryan Grimaldi, 31, was
identified as the victim
Saturday. He had been
with the Hillsboro Fire
Department for six years,
according to a press release
from the agency.
On Sunday, Grimaldi
was escorted home by a
procession of fire and police
vehicles from the Morrow
County Sheriff’s Office,
Hillsboro, and several agen-
cies from the Willamette
Valley. As they reached the
Portland area, several fire-
fighters stood on overpasses
in uniform, either on or in
front of their engines, and
saluted him.
His fellow firefighters
will wear mourning bands
on their badges until
his memorial service on
Saturday, Nov. 11. No venue
has been selected.
“Ryan was an outstanding
firefighter and member of the
Hillsboro Fire Department
family,” operation chief
Scott Magers stated. “Ryan
served the department and
the community well. He will
be greatly missed.”
