HPD offi cer assaulted Workers with the Umatilla Army Depot load munitions onto trailers for a truck convoy to take the shells to an army base in California for disposal. An offi cer from the Hermiston Police Depart- ment was assaulted during the arrest of a woman on Tuesday, Aug.1.

Around 8 p.m., Hermis- ton Police responded to a report of a woman causing a disturbance in the 300 block of East Cherry Av- enue. When they arrived, police discovered that the woman, Janie Marie Ap- pleby, had an active arrest warrant. As they attempt- ed to take her into custo- dy, Appleby, 47, refused verbal commands, kicked and swung at the offi cers. One offi cer was struck in the face, resulting in the bloody nose and broken glasses. That offi cer was also kicked in the chest. Appleby was taken from the scene to Umatilla County Jail in Pendleton, where she was lodged for assaulting a police offi cer, resisting arrest, criminal mischief in the second de- gree and probation viola- tion.

Fortunately, our offi cer only received minor injuries, but taxpay- ers will be footing the bill to replace the glasses Ms. Appleby broke.” • Building permits issued in Hermiston during the month of July totaled $50,205 in value.

Morrow County District Attorney Justin Nel- son said the victims are between Kenneth 8 and 12 Sicard years old. Kenneth James Sicard of Boardman faces the following initial charges: one count each of fi rst-degree rape, fi rst-de- gree sodomy, second-de- gree sodomy, fi rst-degree unlawful sexual penetra- tion and second-degree un- lawful sexual penetration. The state also charged him with six counts of fi rst-de- gree sexual abuse. According to court doc- uments, the state alleges Sicard committed the crimes in April. Nelson said the Mount Emily Safe Center in La Grande, played the key role in interviewing the three girls. “They are the profes- sionals that handle these cases,” he said. Circuit Judge Ran- dolph Garrison of Doug- las County subbed in for Judge Dan Hill during Sicard’s hearing Monday. Garrison set bail for Sicard at $150,000. He remains in the Umatilla County Jail, Pendleton. Thanks to all our friends and family who helped celebrate our GG - Elvira Eisele’s 1-844-533-9173 1-844-533-9173 FREE TOWING 100 th Birthday!!
