Morrow County Sheriff’s Office nets fleeing rape suspect HERMISTON HERALD The Morrow County Sheriff’s Office early Thursday caught a rape suspect hiding in the trunk of a car. Undersheriff John Bowles in a written state- ment reported the sheriff’s office Tuesday at 6:54 a.m. received a report of a sex- ual assault that occurred at a residence on Meen- derinck Farms south of Irrigon. Sgt. Brian Sny- der and Sgt. Nathen Braun responded and talked with a 21-year-old woman who reported she was raped by Pedro Lopez-Larios, 34, of Boardman. The sergeants found Lopez-Larios in a bed- room of the residence, but before they could make a move on him, he jumped out of a window, bolted and escaped into a nearby 80-acre field of poplar trees. Other Morrow County sheriff’s deputies arrived, set a perimeter and began searching for Lopez-Lar- ios. Deputies from the Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office assisted with the use of two drones. After hours of searching, however, law enforcement had not found Lopez-Lar- ios. Snyder and Braun continued the investiga- tion, according to Bowles, and Snyder caught wind Lopez-Larios was try- ing to leave Oregon. Mor- row County deputies with backup from Hermiston police conducted a traffic stop Thursday at 12:13 a.m. and found Lopez-Larios in the vehicle’s trunk. The sheriff’s office arrested Lopez-Larios, took him to the Umatilla County Jail, Pendleton, and booked him on charges of first-degree rape and sexual abuse. The district attorney’s office later Thursday morn- ing brought the preliminary charges against Lopez-Lar- ios, and Circuit Judge Daniel Hill set the bail at $500,000. The case has a probable cause hearing Thursday. DEQ fines Pendleton, Lamb Weston for pollution HERMISTON HERALD PENDLETON — The city of Pendleton and Lamb Weston Inc., Hermiston, were among the recent entities on the receiving ends of pollution fines. The Oregon Depart- ment of Environmental Quality announced 16 pen- alties totaling $299,249 for various environmental violations in April. Pend- leton was the only city on the list. The DEQ reported the city exceeded the total residual chlorine effluent limits in its wastewater discharge permit multiple times in 2017, and the vio- lations warrant a civil pen- alty of $10,200. Lamb Weston received a $6,800 fine for discharg- ing wastewater on Sept. 21, 2018, from its pipe- line at the Hermiston facil- ity into the Umatilla River. According to the DEQ, Lamb Weston discharge permits prohibit releases into the river because its “wastewater contains pol- lutants in amounts and concentrations that can adversely affect water quality and aquatic life.” The environmental agency allows Pendle- ton, Lamb Weston and the other 14 entities to pay the fines, seek ways to reduce them or appeal.
