Umatilla County Sheriff's Office sergeant arrested in domestic violence incident

WESTON — A sergeant with the Umatilla County Sheriff’s 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 sheriff’s office after he called the state police to report the incident. Littlefield described the incident as an “altercation” between Swiger and his wife that was “completely out of character for Sgt. Swiger.” He said he did not know Swiger’s condition when he was arrested.

County officials look toward new ways to get police out of mental health

PENDLETON — Umatilla County officials are looking toward a possible new network of mental health professionals to assist, or possibly replace, law enforcement in responding to calls for people suffering from a mental health or addiction crisis. The idea, officials say, would be similar to the “CAHOOTS” system in Eugene, where a two-person team of medics and mental health professionals respond to calls involving mental illness, homelessness and addiction, with an emphasis on de-escalation. But Umatilla County, with its sprawling locale, is far different from Lane County and Eugene, and now, county officials are trying to reimagine how the system could work within the county.
