East Oregonian MILTON-FR EEWA- TER — Krystian Thomas Allen, 27, was arrested by Milton-Freewater police Thursday on felony assault charges. The arrest came after Allen used a cut- ting weapon (presumably a knife) to assault George Anthony Martin, 61, on the evening of May 12 in the area of Raspberry Loop in Milton-Freewater. In the incident, Martin suffered a nonlife-threat- ening, though serious, injury to his back requir- ing medical treatment at St. Mary Hospital in Walla Walla. Both men are con- sidered homeless, and an actual motive for the assault is not known at this time, said Milton-Free- water Police Chief Doug Beodigheimer in a press release. After an investigation lasting less than a week, Milton-Freewater police officers located Allen Thursday afternoon at 618 County Road and arrested him on charges of sec- ond-degree assault and unlawful use of a weapon. He was later lodged on those charges at the Uma- tilla County Jail. Assault in the sec- ond degree is a Measure 11 Class B felony crime, which, upon conviction, carries a mandatory min- imum sentence of 70 months in prison. In all cases, Boedigheimer stressed, arrested persons are pre- sumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law.

Prosecutor: Mom plotted to kill pregnant woman, steal baby By MICHAEL TARM Associated Press CHICAGO — A mother plotted for months to acquire a newborn before she and her daughter strangled a preg- nant Chicago woman and cut her baby from her womb using a butcher’s knife, pros- ecutors said Friday as they revealed gruesome new details about the case. Marlen Ochoa-Lopez, 19, was lured to the home where Clarisa Figueroa lived with her daughter, Desiree, by Facebook postings offer- ing free baby clothes. When she arrived, the daughter showed her a photo album of AP Photos This combination of booking photos provided by the Chica- go Police Department on Thursday shows from left, Pioter Bobak, 40; Clarisa Figueroa, 46; and Desiree Figueroa, 24. her late brother to distract her as her mother started trying to strangle her with a chord, prosecutor Jim Murphy said. When Ochoa-Lopez managed to get her fin- gers under the cord, Clar- isa Figueroa yelled at her 24-year-old daughter — “You’re not doing your ... job!” The daughter then pried Ochoa-Lopez’s fingers from the cord “one by one” while her mother continued to strangle the teen for another 5 minutes, Murphy said. Once Ochoa-Lopez showed no signs of life, Clarisa Figueroa cut her open with a butcher’s knife, removed the placenta and the baby, then put the baby in a bucket with the umbili- cal cord still attached, said Murphy, reading from court documents. The plot may have orig- inated in late 2018, when Clarisa Figueroa told her family she was pregnant and later posted on Facebook an ultrasound and photos of a room decorated for a baby. Desiree Figueroa was sur- prised, Murphy said, because her mother had previously had her fallopian tubes tied to prevent pregnancy. Prosecutors highlighted that Clarisa Figueroa made the announcement about being pregnant not long after one of her adult sons had died of natural causes. Clarisa Figueroa con- nected with Ochoa-Lopez on March 5 via a Facebook page for pregnant women. “Who is due in May?” Clar- isa Figueroa asked in one message. “Where is the May mammas at?” Ochoa-Lopez, seven months pregnant at the time, responded, and Clarisa Figueroa made the offer of free clothes, prosecutors said. When Clarisa Figueroa first asked her daughter to help her kill someone to get a baby, the daughter initially said no, Murphy said. He also revealed publicly for the first time that Desiree Figueroa is four months pregnant. They first met with Ochoa-Lopez around April 1, though she left unharmed that day. Desiree Figueroa had told her boyfriend about her mother’s intention to kill Ochoa-Lopez and warned her he would call police if they harmed the young woman. The prosecutor said Clarisa Figueroa later told the boy- friend the whole scheme had been an April Fool’s joke.
