DA Seeks Revocation of Diversion for Kelly Cranley After Second DUII Arrest

The Baker County District Attorney’s Office filed a motion to revoke a diversion agreement for 21-year-old Kelly Lorraine Cranley after her Feb. 16 arrest for driving under the influence on Pocahontas Road near Washington Gulch Road, Deputy District Attorney Scott Halliday wrote in the motion filed Feb. 17, 2026. The motion alleges a breath test after the arrest indicated alcohol use and seeks to void the diversion Cranley entered last October.

Cranley, who has addresses listed in Baker City and Pullman, Washington, first was arrested May 31, 2025 at Campbell and Balm streets in Baker City and pleaded guilty Oct. 11, 2025 to driving while intoxicated for that incident. “In the motion to revoke Cranley’s diversion agreement, Halliday wrote that Cranley entered a diversion agreement on the earlier DUII charge on Oct. 15, 2025,” the motion states, and it outlines the conditions she accepted when entering diversion.

The diversion agreement required Cranley to abstain from alcohol and to install an ignition interlock device in the car she was driving, the motion says. “As part of the diversion, Cranley agreed not to drink alcohol,” the filing notes. After the Feb. 16 stop, Halliday’s motion states, “Based on the breath test after her arrest on Feb. 16, Cranley violated the agreement, Halliday wrote in his motion.” Law enforcement also cited Cranley for failing to install the ignition interlock device; “Mills also cited Cranley for failing to install an ignition interlock device in the car she was driving, which was also a requirement in the diversion,” the motion recounts.

The DA’s filing came the day after the Feb. 16 arrest and set a revocation hearing in Baker County Circuit Court. Cranley’s next court appearance was scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. in Baker County Circuit Court; court records and the Baker City Herald reported she remained in the Baker County Jail as of the morning of Feb. 24, 2026.

Baker County prosecutors have brought revocation motions in other DUII-related matters; for example, the DA filed a motion Sept. 9 seeking to revoke release terms for 35-year-old Kevin Joseph Eber after an arrest on Sept. 8, following his July 23 arrest on Highway 30 just north of Baker City. That pattern shows the office pursues formal revocation when prosecutors allege breaches of diversion or conditional release terms.

The Feb. 17 motion contains allegations the DA will ask the court to adjudicate at the Feb. 24 hearing; Cranley’s Oct. 11, 2025 guilty plea was to the May 31, 2025 driving-while-intoxicated charge, and the Feb. 16 allegations remain subject to the court’s review and any determination on the diversion’s status.
