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.

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
