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.
