Hermston police Lt. Randy Studebaker reported Springer, came

leaving the area.

tion to dispatch that was immediately relayed to our officers. If you wit-
ness a crime or suspicious activity, please call us right away. You can
call 911 or the non-emergency number, 541-567-5519, and press the
option for dispatch.”
