Men Face Armed
Robbery Charge
Two California men were in the
Morrow county jail this week, two
Heppner men, sheriff C. J. D.
Bauman and Harry Tamblyn
were a little worse for the wear
and a College Place, Washington
man felt he was lucky to he alive
following a series of events start
ing last Wednesday night when
Buddy Todorovlch, salesman for
the Utah Woolen Mills, picked up
the two men on the highway be
low Heppner Junction.
The two Bakersfield, California
men, Jack Etanley Amason, i!l
and Vernon West, 19, both of
Bakersfield flagged Todorovich
down about 11 P. m. when their ,
car tan out of gas and asked for
a ride to the next town. Accord
ing to Todorovich's report to the
police, the two immediately pul
led a gun on him and demanded ,
his billfold and watch, then
forced him to drive them east on
highway 30 nearly to Boardman,
where he was tied up and or
dered out of the car. They picked
him up, however, and drove on
about two miles east of Board
man, where he was again order
ed out of the car while the two
men debated whether or not to
shoot him, finally decided to bind
him more and leave him.
After Amason and West drove
off in the car, Todorovich freed
himself and walked into Board
man where he sounded the alarm.
Statp police in three states were
notified and the men were ar
rested Thursday by state police
at Caldwell, Idaho at a road
block.
While sheriff Bauman and
deputy Taniblyn were returning
the men to Jail in Heppner, Ama
son and West tried to overpower
the two officers and make their
escape from the car as it travel
ed the highway near Huntington.
One of the men looped a belt
around Bauman's neck while the
other attacked Tamblyn with his
fists. The two were suoduea,
however, as soon as the car was
stopped. Both Bauman and Tamb
lyn suffered black eyes and
bruises in the fracas.
The two men were given a pre
liminary hearing before justice of
the peace J- O. Hager Monday
and were bound over to the grand
lurv. A charge of armed robbery
has been filed against them and
district attorney Bradley Fancher
stated a kidnapping charge may
be filed later.
Questioning of Amason and
West brought out that both men
are on probation from burglary
charges in California.
