District attorney charges couple
with 37 counts of animal neglect
Husband and wife Rich-
ard Tyrone Ruiz and Mar-
tina Garcia Ruiz of Stanfield
each face 37 counts of ani-
mal neglect stemming from
a recent police investigation.
Stanfield police arrested
the couple on Aug. 19 at
their home at 230 S. Lucy
St. and seized more than
three dozen dogs and a cat.
Animal rescuers said the
outside of the home was like
a junk yard and the interior
was filthy with dog feces.
Richard Ruiz, 47, and
Martina Ruiz, 48, were out
of jail on Aug. 21 after sign-
ing release agreements,
according to court records.
A grand jury three days later
handed up 37-count indict-
ments against the pair —
36 misdemeanors of sec-
ond-degree animal neglect
for the 35 dogs and a cat and
one felony of second-de-
gree animal neglect because
the total number of charges
exceeded 11.
The indictment identifies
each dog by name. Uma-
tilla County District Attor-
ney Dan Primus said that is
a practical matter.
“So when we’re talking
to a jury, we’re all on the
same page on that animal at
the same time,” he said.
There was only one cat,
so no need to name it.
Primus said animal
neglect cases are unique,
and his office is working
with Jake Kamins, dep-
uty district attorney in Ben-
ton County who special-
izes in animal cruelty law.

Two of the 36 dogs that were taken from a Stanfield residence on August 19.
Primus and his team relied
on Kamins in 2017 for the
prosecution of Hermis-
ton rancher Michael Hock-
ensmith who faced 200
counts of animal neglect
after authorities discovered
dead and malnourished cat-
tle on his property. Hock-
ensmith, 56, pleaded guilty
to five counts of first-degree
animal neglect and is about
16 months into serving a
five-year sentence on proba-

tion. Court records show in
February he completed 80
hours of community service
as part of the sentence.
Police during the Stan-
field raid also arrested
Michael Ruiz, 26, and his
partner, Timi Jean Murray,
24, and placed their two
young children into state
custody. Michael Ruiz is the
son of Richard and Martina
Ruiz. Court records show
Murray of Hermiston faces
one count of endangering
the welfare of a minor, a
misdemeanor, but Michael
Ruiz so far has no charges.
Murray is out of jail on
bail. The Ruizes have their
next court appearances on
Sept. 11. The city of Stan-
field planned to have a pub-
lic hearing Tuesday night
to determine if the house
should be declared a dan-
gerous nuisance that needs

Hermiston man arrested
for domestic assault
HERMISTON — A
Hermiston man is in jail after
a domestic assault that left
a victim in the hospital, and
was carried out in front of a
small child.
Silvestre De La Paz San-
guino, 23, was arrested on
charges of assault in the sec-
ond degree, strangulation and
kidnapping.
Hermiston Police Chief
Jason Edmiston told the
Hermiston Herald in an
email that police were sent
to Good Shepherd Medical
Center on Tuesday morning,
around 5 a.m., to assist with
a 20-year-old female assault
victim. He said that around 1
a.m., De La Paz came to her
residence and attacked her.
She reported being strangled
unconscious several times,
and was punched and bitten
several times. Edmiston said
De La Paz was contacted out-
side the home, taken into cus-
tody, and is now at the Uma-
tilla County Jail.
Edmiston said the Depart-
ment of Human Services
helped with the incident,
as there was a two-year-
old child present during the
assault.

jail. When he was out on
bail, another victim came
forward. Edmiston said
that victim is from out of
the area, so the depart-
ment had to work with
another agency on that
case.
He said both victims
are related to Sanguino.
Edmiston said he
believes the cases, includ-
ing that of the most recent
victim, are for incidents
that took place several
years ago. According to
court documents, one of
the incidents took place
in 2006, and the victim
was under 16 years old
at the time. Documents
for another case report
that there were two other
victims, including one
between 2005 and 2006,
who was under 18, and
one between 2012 and
2013 that was under 12
years old.
