WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 2018 HERMISTONHERALD.COM • A5 RECORDS Legal challenges filed to gun storage ballot SENTENCES •Agri-chem Sprayers of Hermis- ton vs. Wade Aylett of Irrigon: seek $975.16. PENDLETON — The following sen- tences have been imposed in Uma- tilla County courts: FELONY By CLAIRE WITHYCOMBE CAPITAL BUREAU SALEM — Three legal challenges were filed last week against the ballot title for an initiative petition to impose storage require- ments on Oregon gun owners. The court challenge dras- tically shortens the time supporters have to gather signatures to get Initiative Petition 44 on the ballot, but they are publicly optimistic about the effort. Ballot titles are the brief caption, summary and description of the result of a “yes” or “no” vote printed for each measure on the bal- lot. If anyone objects to the title, they can petition the Oregon Supreme Court to review the language. The Oregon Supreme Court on Friday consoli- dated the three challenges to the IP 44 ballot title into one case, and set a June 25th deadline for the Oregon Attorney General to respond to the challenge. Challeng- ers will then have until June 28 to file their own response to the AG. Initiative Petition 44, filed in early April, would require gun owners to secure their firearms in a lock box or using a trigger or cable lock. It would also require them to report if one of their guns is stolen or lost within 24 hours of learning of the theft or loss. Failure to comply with those requirements would be considered a violation, not a crime. The measure would also hold gun owners civilly lia- ble for five years follow- The Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office seeks the public’s help to find two armed suspects from crimes on opposite ends of the county. Sunday around 1:20 a.m., staff at the Comfort Inn & Suites, 77514 S. Highway 207, Hermiston, reported a robbery just occurred. “A male suspect entered the lobby of the busi- ness, displayed a gun and demanded the clerk give him all the money in the cash drawer and safe,” according to the sheriff’s office. The clerk complied and the robber left. He was pos- sibly Hispanic, approxi- mately 6 feet tall, had dark hair, wore a light colored jacket with a hood over and around his face. He carried a dark colored bag or back- pack, which he told the clerk to put the money into. The sheriff’s office also reported it received a call Saturday at 7:58 p.m. of a •Atlantic Credit & Finance Special Finance Unit III LLC vs. Lori L.

EO MEDIA GROUP A cable gun lock. Three challenges have been filed to the ballot title for a proposed measure that would require Oregon gun owners to secure their firearms in a lock box or using a trigger or cable lock. It would also require them to report if one of their guns is stolen or lost within 24 hours of learning of the theft or loss. ing an incident for injuries resulting from a failure to comply with the measure’s requirements. Supporters of the petition — including family mem- bers of people killed in the shooting at the Clackamas Town Center in 2012 — want to get the petition on the ballot in November. Challengers Keely Hop- kins, state director for the National Rifle Association, and Paul Donheffner, leg- islative committee chair for the Oregon Hunters’ Asso- ciation, expressed concerns about regulating how gun owners store their weapons. “...IP 44 dictates par- ticular storage and trans- fer requirements while imposing conditions that unduly burden the ability of law-abiding citizens to use arms for self-defense and other lawful purposes,” their petition states. “Safety and storage is a matter of personal responsibility and subject to each individual’s particular circumstances and needs.” Opponents of the ballot title for IP 44 also claim the caption, as written, focuses on the locking requirement and doesn’t adequately describe the penalties for failing to comply. “While it is true there is no state or federal law that requires trigger/cable locks on firearms, that require- ment that would be imposed Hermiston Comfort Inn & Suites robbed at gunpoint HERMISTON HERALD JUDGMENTS PENDLETON — The following judgments have been rendered in Umatilla County courts (interest, court costs and fees not listed): •Matthew Drew Cleaver, 45, Umatilla, pleaded guilty to Posses- sion of Methamphetamine: sen- tenced to 18 months probation. by IP 44 is a minor change in the context of the con- sequences of not putting a trigger/cable lock on a fire- arm,” wrote Dominic Aiello and Asha Aiello, who filed a petition Thursday. The third petition was filed by Kevin Starrett, head of the Oregon Firearms Federation. Paul Kemp, one of the chief petitioners supporting IP 44, says that the group behind the measure, Orego- nians for Safe Gun Storage and Reporting Lost/Stolen Firearms, has arranged to hire a paid signature gath- ering firm to try to meet the July 6 deadline. Kemp says that his group is seeing “strong support” for the measure. DEATHS robbery that occurred that morning at the Taj Food Mart, 84802 Highway 11, Milton-Freewater.
