Baker County public safety log reports arrests, citations Feb. 11-12

Thomas Jay Chandler, 56, of Baker City was jailed after an arrest in the 3000 block of Grove Street at 4:44 p.m. Feb. 10, listed in the Baker City Herald public safety log as "PROBATION VIOLATION (Umatilla County warrant): Thomas Jay Chandler, 56, Baker City, 4:44 p.m. Feb. 10 in the 3000 block of Grove Street; jailed." The entry identifies the arresting circumstance as a probation violation tied to a Umatilla County warrant but does not include bond, booking number, or a scheduled court date.

The Herald log capture also contains an incomplete line for a contempt matter that cut off after two letters. The truncated entry reads, verbatim, "CONTEMPT OF COURT (Baker County Justice Court warrant): Ja" with no age, location, time, or disposition provided. That partial text appears on the same public safety log page and leaves the subject and outcome unidentified in the available record.

Two hit-and-run/property entries on the Feb. 12 log show individuals cited and released. The log lists "HIT AND RUN, PROPERTY (Baker County Justice Court warrant): Corey Edward Berger, 63, Durkee, 4:23 p.m. Feb. 12 at Main Street and Washington Avenue; cited and released." That entry gives a precise location for the alleged incident at Main Street and Washington Avenue and ties the matter to a Baker County Justice Court warrant, but the log excerpt does not include details about vehicle damage, other parties, citation numbers, or court dates.

A separate line on the Feb. 12 entries names Faith Aries Hood, 29, of Richland: "HIT AND RUN, PROPERTY (Baker County Circuit Court warrant): Faith Aries Hood, 29, Richland, 4:46 p.m. Feb. 12; cited and released." The Hood entry links the alleged hit-and-run to a Baker County Circuit Court warrant and records the 4:46 p.m. time, but the captured excerpt does not provide a street location or further narrative.

Across the entries, the public safety log attributes Chandler’s charge to a Umatilla County warrant, Berger’s to a Baker County Justice Court warrant, and Hood’s to a Baker County Circuit Court warrant. Dispositions shown in the captured lines are jailed for Chandler and cited and released for Berger and Hood. The log excerpts do not include arresting officer names, docket or warrant numbers, or citation identifiers.

Baker County’s press-log index, as captured, lists press log PDFs for dates including Feb. 11 and Feb. 13, which suggests fuller dispatch narratives or booking records may exist in county press-log documents. The captured Herald lines and the county index make clear which matters have been formally recorded, while the truncated contempt-of-court line and missing location and docket details for some incidents remain gaps in the public record that local records would need to resolve.
