Pendleton police
used force to arrest
man after crash
PENDLETON — Pend-
leton police reported an
early morning disturbance
led an officer to use force
to arrest a man after he fled
a crash.
Police Lt. Tony Nelson
stated a caller Thursday at
2:12 a.m. reported hearing
a female yelling and some-
one attempting to leave in a
vehicle in the area of South-
west Kirk Avenue and 31st
Street. Officers found a
vehicle crash nearby at
Southwest 30th Street and
Kirk Avenue. Nelson said
the driver failed to make
a turn and collided with a
parked vehicle in a residen-
tial driveway.
The suspect drove fast
enough, according to Nel-
son, to push the parked
vehicle into the side of the
house.
No one in the house
was injured, and the sus-
pect fled on foot. Nelson
reported an officer caught
him a block away and iden-
tified him as 22-year-old
Michael Burton.
“Burton
appeared
impaired and began yell-
ing at the officer upon con-
tact,” Nelson stated. “The
officer attempted to stop
him, however he charged
at the officer refusing all
commands to stop his
behavior.”
The cop used force to
stop Burton and arrest him,
according to Nelson, but
instead of the jail, his next
trip was to St. Anthony
Hospital, Pendleton, due to
his behavior and possible
injuries from the crash.
Nelson said police
arrested Burton for reck-
less driving, reckless
endangering, driving under
the influence of intoxi-
cants, second-degree dis-
orderly conduct and resist-
ing arrest. Nelson also said
the case now goes to the
Umatilla County District
Attorney’s Office to con-
sider the charges.
Milton-Freewater police arrest
wanted man after chase
MILTON-FR EEWA-
TER — Milton-Freewater
police arrested a local man
after a car chase lasting
more than 30 minutes.
Milton-Freewa-
ter police Chief Doug
Boedigheimer reported an
officer at about 6:05 a.m.
Thursday spotted Scott
Allen McIntosh, 49, of
Milton-Freewater, driv-
ing a white 1999 Toyota
Avalon with Washington
plates. The officer recog-
nized McIntosh and knew
he had warrants for his
arrest.
The officer tried to stop
the Toyota near 146 S.E.
Ninth Avenue, accord-
ing to Boedigheimer, but
McIntosh did not stop.
Boedigheimer
reported
the ensuing chase reached
speeds of 80-90 mph on
streets and county roads
into Walla Walla, where
officers with Walla Walla
police and the Walla Walla
County Sheriff’s Office
joined up.
The pursuit turned
Destiny
Theatres
south and back into Ore-
gon and through Mil-
ton-Freewater. McIntosh
finally stopped on High-
way 11 near milepost 23,
where police took him into
custody.
Boedigheimer
stated the chase lasted 33
minutes. Police arrested
McIntosh on two felony
warrants — one from Ore-
gon, one from Washing-
ton state — plus charges
of eluding police, reckless
driving and possession of a
controlled substance.
“This was a good exam-
ple of multi-agency assis-
tance and cooperation,
which led to an effective
and safe resolution to a
very dangerous incident,”
Boedigheimer stated.
McIntosh also has
popped up on Walla Walla
police cases and may
claim an address there.
Boedigheimer said “we’ve
been dealing with him for
years” and
Macintosh reported he
lives at 122 S.E. Eighth
Ave., Milton-Freewater.

Presbyterian church hosts
Taizé service
PENDLETON — A special ser-
vice featuring a meditative style of
worship is planned at the Pendleton
First Presbyterian Church.
The Taizé Service is Sunday at
4 p.m. at 201 S.W. Dorion Ave., Pend-

public to attend the service. More
than a decade ago, she said services

Taizé worship, Keller said,
includes elements of silence, repeti-

simple musical lines. Set in candle-

no sermon.
“Repeated, meditative singing
interspersed with silence becomes a
way of listening to God,” she said.
