By Rylan Boggs Blue Mountain Eagle A machete incident in Rit- ter ended with multiple arrests Nov. 28. Oregon State Police arrest- ed Raymond T. Dual Jr., 29, of Hermiston for unlawful use of a motor vehicle, menacing and reckless driving. Cody J. Winn, 38, of Ritter was arrested for failure to register as a sex of- fender and two counts of felon in possession of a weapon. Late Nov. 27, Grant County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Oregon State Police officers were dispatched to a 911 call in Ritter, according to OSP Sgt. Tom Hutchison. Dual had called 911 and reported Winn had assaulted him with a ma- chete and rifle butt and said he had barricaded himself in- side a room in Winn’s home in Ritter. Law en- forcement secured the building and Raymond helped Dual Dual Jr. escape out a window. Dual was then taken to a hospital and interviewed by law en- forcement. It became appar- ent that Dual had not been ini- tially truthful, Hutchison said. Dual might have been drunk, crashed a car stolen from the Hermiston/Tri Cities area and walked to Winn’s residence where he had been staying, Hutchison said. Upon returning to the res- idence, Hutchison said, Dual menaced Winn, his wife and three children with a machete. He was disarmed and locked himself in the room where he was found, according to Hutchison. “I don’t believe he was assaulted,” Hutchison said. “Those injuries were sus- tained in a DUI crash.” Another vehicle stolen from the same area was found at the scene, and Winn, a fel- on, was found to be in posses- sion of a 20-gauge shotgun and .22-caliber rifle as well as the machete. Winn’s wife was detained and released with no charges filed. Hutchison said representa- tives from the Department of Human Services arrived to in- vestigate the living conditions in the family’s home and re- moved the three children aged 3, 6 and 8.
