NEWS MyEagleNews.com Wednesday, January 22, 2020 A5 Vale man accused of shooting two people, one fatally, in Baker City By Chris Collins EO Media Group Shawn Quentin Green- wood, 48, a Vale resident who authorities believe has been living in Baker City re- cently, has been charged with second-degree murder in the Monday shooting death of his former girlfriend, Angela Mi- chelle Parrish, 30, of Vale. Greenwood also is charged with two counts of second-de- gree assault for allegedly shooting Nathaniel Leeland Brown, 37, a Baker City tran- sient, in the hand on Jan. 13 in Baker City. Greenwood was arraigned on the charges Jan. 14 in Baker County Cir- cuit Court. Visit- ing Mal- heur County Shawn Judge Lung Quentin Hung set bail Greenwood at $100,000 on each of the second-degree assault counts. Hung agreed to hold Greenwood without bail on the murder charge as requested by District Attorney Greg Baxter. Hung made the ruling re- garding Greenwood’s release after listening to testimony from Baker City Police Chief Ray Duman. Duman outlined the inves- tigation, which began about 11:45 a.m. Jan. 13. Duman said Brown showed up at the Bureau of Land Management offi ce at 3100 H St. claiming that he’d been shot in the hand. Police cordoned off the area and began searching for the shooter and for a second victim whom Brown said was in a nearby building. Police found Parrish’s body in a large warehouse designated as Building D at the northwest end of the prop- erty, Duman said. Brown had identifi ed Greenwood as the person who shot him, and Parrish as the other victim, Duman said. As part of the investiga- tion, police received informa- tion that a late model standard two-door Toyota pickup truck Greenwood was thought to be driving had left the area. An Oregon State Po- lice game offi cer spotted the pickup on Dooley Moun- tain, Duman said. Malheur County deputies later located the pickup near Bridgeport, south of Dooley Mountain, and tried to stop it. Duman said the offi cers followed Greenwood on a short pursuit before Green- wood decided to travel cross-country and down a ra- vine in the four-wheel drive vehicle. The deputies watched as Greenwood later attempted to burn a rifl e and set the pickup truck on fi re, Duman said. The Malheur County dep- uties arrested Greenwood about 3:34 p.m. Jan. 13 in the Mormon Basin area of north- ern Malheur County south of Durkee. The deputies found .45-caliber ammunition in the pickup truck, Duman testifi ed. “That’s the same ammuni- tion used to kill Ms. Parrish,” Duman told the judge. “One spent casing was found under the victim.” After Duman testifi ed Jan. 14, the judge asked Green- wood if he had anything to say regarding his release from jail. Greenwood took the op- portunity to ask the court whether law enforcement had done a background check on Brown. The judge quickly stopped his conversation. “You don’t get to ask ques- tions,” Hung admonished Greenwood, advising him to wait to talk to an attorney. COPS AND COURTS Arrests and citations in the Blue Mountain Eagle are taken from the logs of law enforcement agencies. Every effort is made to re- port the court disposition of arrest cases.

SENIOR LIVING ADVISOR Clark’s Disposal responds to recycling concerns By Steven Mitchell Blue Mountain Eagle Amid community con- cerns, Clark’s Disposal owner Farrell Clark said the facility indeed still accepts aluminum, steel and tin pet food cans for recycling. According to a volun- teer from a local nonprofi t, Clark’s no longer recy- cles the pet food cans and dumps them in with the trash. Recycling the cans is vital for nonprofi t, the vol- unteer explained. The or- ganization ended up taking its recycling to Portland recently. Clark said, however, the state Department of Envi- ronmental Quality regu- lates the recycling process at the transfer station. According to Clark, the company operates under a state solid waste permit held by Grant County and must have approval from DEQ before the company can change its list of ac- cepted recyclables. In addition to aluminum, steel and tin, Clark said the facility accepts iron, white goods (washers, dryers, dishwashers and refriger- ators), mixed newspapers and magazines, used motor oil and e-waste. Clark added he submits an annual report to DEQ. “It is all a matter of pub- lic record, “ Clark said. Clark said, not only is the business required to ac- cept tin and aluminum, it also earns revenue when it recycles the materials. “We would not be in business if we decided to stop taking aluminum and tin scrap metal,” Clark explained. Clark said, if there were instances where valid ma- terials were not accepted for recycling, he would like to know about it. Con- tact Clark’s Disposal at 541-575-0432.
