Suits Filed
PENDLETON — The following suits have
been filed in Umatilla County courts (in-
terest, court costs and fees not listed):
•Credits Inc. vs. budd E. Richards of Herm-
iston: seeks $9,854.52.
By JAYATI RAMAKRISHNAN
STAFF WRITER
•Credits Inc. vs. brittany L. Seufert of Irri-
gon: seeks $4,656.38.
The man set to be
charged with vehicular
homicide in a crash that
killed a Hermiston girl will
likely face felony charges
in a Thurston County,
Washington, court.
David
Willis
was
released on bail set at
$250,000, and he will be
arraigned on Feb. 19.
According to Thurston
County court documents,
based on interviews with
witnesses, investigators
have developed proba-
ble cause that Willis was
operating a vehicle while
impaired.
Though Willis’ inju-
ries prevented a full eval-
uation, investigators said
Willis told them he had
taken several prescription
pain medications, and had
smoked marijuana earlier
in the day. He told troopers
that he also suffered from
seizures.
Though he had not been
charged as of Wednes-
day morning, a Thur-
ston County deputy dis-
trict attorney said there
was probable cause for
Willis to be charged with
vehicular homicide and
four counts of reckless
endangerment.
•Credits Inc. vs. Ernesto Gutierrez and
belen Carrillo Gutierrez of umatilla: seeks
$2,013.32.

ees to refrain from any sub-
stance legal in Oregon as a
condition of employment.
It would continue to allow
prohibitions against being
impaired at work.
More than a dozen wit-
nesses testified against the
proposal, most working in
the construction industry.
“You guys are scar-
ing the bejesus out of all
my clients,” said Darrell
Fuller, a lobbyist represent-
ing several business associ-
ations opposed to the policy
change.
Witnesses said workers
in the construction sector
operate heavy machinery,
drive large trucks and do
other jobs that require atten-
tion and sobriety.
Cristina Reyes, an attor-
ney for construction giant
Hoffman
Construction
Company, said the com-
pany has a strict anti-drug
policy. Drug testing allows
it to catch users of mari-
juana and other substances.
If testing wasn’t allowed,
those workers could still be
on job sites causing a safety
hazard.
Marijuana can stay in the
system for around a month
and there is no test that can
easily determine whether
Oregonians would no
longer be compelled by
employers to avoid off-duty
use of marijuana under a
proposal being considered
at the Legislature.
Legislators also are con-
sidering opening the door
to exporting the state’s
marijuana crop, which far
exceeds demand in the state.
Senate Bill 379 would
make it illegal for employ-
ers to tell employees they
can’t use marijuana outside
of work hours. Senate Bill
582 would allow the gover-
nor to make agreements to
buy and sell marijuana with
other states.
The Senate Judiciary
Committee heard testimony
on both Thursday morning.
Both bills would con-
flict with federal law,
which prohibits marijuana
consumption.
While the state allows
Oregonians to buy and use
marijuana, many Oregon
employers don’t.
Workers can be fired for
testing positive for mar-
ijuana. The law revision
being proposed would make
it illegal to require employ-

Lovett, 29, both of Hermiston.
someone is impaired, or just
used the substance a few
days ago while at home.
That’s a big concern, Reyes
said.
State Sen. James Man-
ning, D-Eugene, asked
Reyes if she has heard
of issues in the construc-
tion sector in places where
marijuana is legal, such as
Amsterdam. She had not.
Others testified the law
would run afoul of federal
regulation of some indus-
tries, such as truckers who
drive with licenses regu-
lated by federal law and
are required to take a drug
test showing they are free
from substances including
marijuana.
Rob Bovett, representing
the Association of Oregon
Counties, said City County
Insurance Services esti-
mates more than $1 million
in litigation costs would
arise each year if the bill
were passed as is.
Casey Houlihan, execu-
tive director of the Oregon
Retailers of Cannabis Asso-
ciation, supported the pro-
posal, saying it’s a last step
to legalizing marijuana. He
said he’s open to amend-
ments to make the legis-
lation more clearly about
off-hours consumption and
impairment of marijuana.
Ricardo Lujan, a pol-
icy associate for the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union of
Oregon, said many people
who get drug tested at work
are working low-wage jobs.
The current policy creates a
two-tier system favoring the
wealthy, whose employers
are less likely to drug test.
The state should pass the
legislation to make the use
of marijuana equal for all,
he said.
Much less time was
spent on possible interstate
commerce of marijuana, but
those who did testify said if
Oregon fails to act now it
could be giving up a pros-
perous future where Oregon
would be the de facto home
of the marijuana industry.
Right now, federal law
prohibits states where mar-
ijuana is legal from buying
or selling to each other. But
as a green wave flows over
the country, that will likely
change one day. When that
happens, Oregon needs to
act, marijuana industry rep-
resentatives said. The legis-
lation just sets the stage for
granting the governor the
authority to negotiate agree-
ments with other states.

Natalya Martinez, 16,
of Hermiston, was in the
car with her mother, who
pulled over on the side
of the road when she got
a flat tire. While waiting
for a tow truck, they were
joined by family members
in another car, and they
waited in that car, a Nis-
san Altima, behind the dis-
abled vehicle.
While they were wait-
ing, Willis, who was driv-
ing a Ford Focus, hit the
Altima.
Court documents say
that multiple witnesses
saw Willis driving errati-
cally, and that at one point
he left the roadway and
drove onto the shoulder in
an attempt to pass slower
traffic.
He struck the Altima at
freeway speeds, causing
both vehicles to rotate vio-
lently, and the Focus rolled
onto the driver’s side. The
collision pushed the rear
bumper and trunk of the
Altima up to the rear seat.
Martinez, a Hermis-
ton High School junior,
died at the scene, and her
mother, Dianna Navejar,
was taken to the hospital
with injuries.
Willis and his 8-year-
old daughter, who was in
the car with him, were also
injured.
