U.S. Attorney's Office - District of Oregon PORTLAND, Ore.—A Vacaville, California man was sentenced to federal prison today for his role in a conspiracy to traffic large quantities of methamphetamine from California for distribution in Northeast Oregon and Southeast Washington. Noel Lomas Murillo, 34, was sentenced to 60 months in federal prison and three years’ supervised release. According to court documents, in November 2017, the Blue Mountain Enforcement Narcotics Team (BENT), Oregon State Police (OSP), and the FBI began investigating a drug trafficking organization led by Murillo’s brother, Abel Lomas Murillo, 28, of Weston, Oregon. The investigation revealed that, as early as July 2017, Noel Murillo transported drugs from Vacaville to Klamath Falls, Oregon where a courier would deliver them to his brother. Abel Murillo also made multiple trips to Medford, Oregon to pick up drugs and transport them to Morrow and Umatilla Counties for distribution. In January 2018, an OSP troo

  Douglas Co. Sheriff's Office This statement is in response to Governor Kate Brown’s recent decision to grant clemency to a Douglas County man who was appropriately convicted of Aggravated Murder in 1995 and is now free to victimize other innocent people.     I am absolutely opposed to the Governor granting executive clemency to Kyle Hedquist.   Kyle Hedquist conducted a very calculated, cold blooded execution style murder after realizing his victim, Nikki Thrasher, “might” have accidently learned he was involved in a rash of burglaries.  Under his own admission, Hedquist said he killed Ms. Thrasher to eliminate the possibility of her turning him into the police.   He then dumped her body alongside a remote logging road.     The executive clemency granted by Governor Brown in this case is shocking and irresponsible.  Governor Brown granted clemency despite compelling arguments and letters of opposition from Douglas County District Attorney Richard Wesenberg, Marion County District

Douglas Co. Sheriff's Office DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore.  - There have been several reports over the last couple days of door-to-door sales people selling aromatherapy/air purifier/diffuser products.  In some of these reports, the sales person has pushed their way into the home of a person who has said they are not interested.  The sales person usually female and appears to be alone but when she leaves, she gets into a vehicle (a grey Chevy Suburban or a White Ford Explorer) that is occupied by two males. The legitimacy of these salespersons is unclear; what is clear is that their sales tactics are suspicious and that you should use caution when dealing with door-to-door sales people as a general rule.   Here are a few tips to help keep you safe when someone comes knocking at your door. • Use peep-holes to determine who is at your door, and keep your porch light on in the evening. • Refuse to open the door to anyone you don’t know or aren’t comfortable with. • Talk to sales people through
