WESTON â A sergeant with the Umatilla County Sheriffâs Office went to jail after a domestic violence incident that occurred over the weekend at his home in Weston.
The sergeant, Roy Swiger, reported himself to the Oregon State Police on Monday, July 26, according to Undersheriff Jim Littlefield. State police arrested Swiger and took him to the Umatilla County Jail that day. Littlefield said Swiger called the sheriffâs office after he called the state police to report the incident.
Littlefield described the incident as an âaltercationâ between Swiger and his wife that was âcompletely out of character for Sgt. Swiger.â He said he did not know Swigerâs condition when he was arrested.
MORROW COUNTY â A high-speed car chase that began after a reported theft in Morrow County ended in police arresting three people on theft and trespassing charges.
Police on July 19 received a report from a man who said he was following two people who he accused of stealing items from his scrapyard, according to a press release from the Morrow County Sheriffâs Office. He told police they were driving a gray SUV and pulling a small utility trailer north on Three Mile Canyon Road toward Interstate 84.
Police responded and found the suspects travelling back roads south of Boardman and pursued them at speeds up to 70 miles per hour. As police chased the suspects through the Morrow County countryside, the trailer lost its tires, causing sparks to fly and items to fall out of the trailer.
