Martin shared the video surveillance a couple of hours later during a brief- ing for the oncoming shift. Based on the vehicle and video information, the suspects were tentatively identified. Umatilla County Un- dersheriff Jim Littlefield said around 5:45 p.m. the same day, the sheriff’s of- fice had a report of a theft in progress at Bruce Heat- ing and Air Conditioning, off Highway 395 and East Punkin Center Road. A witness told a sher- iff’s deputy they saw a man and woman stealing metal from behind the business. Around 6:40 p.m., Sgt. Kelly Parsons of the Herm- iston Police Department conducted a traffic stop in the 400 block of South- east 10th Street on an old- er Chevrolet S10 pickup matching the description from the UCSO incident. Littlefield said the two people in the vehicle were in possession in some of the stolen items and admit- ted to stealing them. The suspects, Jonathan Price, 35, of Hermiston, and Maria Martinez, 34, of Irrigon, were taken into custody and later charged and lodged on one count of second-degree burglary and one count of first-de- gree theft. They will also be charged with first-degree theft and criminal mis- chief, criminal trespass- ing and second-degree burglary by the Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office.

Rick Stokoe said a school staff member had a con- versation with a parent Monday morning where the staff member heard the parent saying he was going to “shoot” the school.

Once police determined that the school wasn’t un- der threat, Riverside lifted the lockout. Under the lockout pro- cedure, a school’s outside doors are locked while students and staff maintain normal business.

Deputies responded to the area Saturday at 6 p.m., according to a statement the sheriff’s office issued Monday, on a report that a male swam away from the shore, began to struggle, went under and did not re- surface.

The dive team found the man about 8 p.m. The sheriff’s office also stated it would not release the iden- tity of victim until notify- ing his family.
