Rhoades
An investigation following
a failed traffi c stop early
Wednesday morning led police to
fi nd an illegal marijuana operation
in a Hermiston apartment.
Hermiston arrested Richard
Rhoades, 27, of Hermiston, and
confi scated 75 pounds of mari-
juana, distribution paraphernalia
and multiple guns, including one
that had been reported stolen.
The case began when police
attempted to stop a car for a traffi c
violation at 1 a.m. near the inter-
section of South 1st Street and
West Highland Ave., according
to a press release from Hermiston
police. The driver sped off and
eluded offi cers after a short
pursuit.
With the help of Oregon State
Police, offi cers later found the
vehicle crashed into a house on
SW 16th Street where it had also
hit an electrical supply box. No
one was injured. But the driver,
who police now believe was
Rhoades, was nowhere to be
found.
