A Hermiston man had his probation revoked and was sentenced to 150 days in jail after being arrested Sunday on burglary, theft and other charges.
The Hermiston Police Department received a report of a home burglary and stolen vehicle from the 700 block of W. Highland Ave. The vehicle was later located at 940 N.W. Stockton Ave., where the suspect, Marcus D. Wise, lives.
Wise, 26, was later located on Sunday at approximately 5:45 p.m., near Funland Park. Wise was taken into custody, processed at the Hermiston Police Department, and lodged at the Umatilla County Jail on charges of first-degree burglary, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, and second-degree theft.
This morning in Hermiston Municipal Court, Hermiston City Prosecutor Blaine Clooten requested Wise’s probation be revoked based on the new charges. The request was granted and Wise was sentenced by Municipal Court Judge Thomas Creasing to 150 days in jail.
“Mr. Wise is a person our department has had numerous contacts with over the years,” said Hermiston Police Chief Jason Edmiston. “It truly is nice to see a person whom we have arrested 18 times and charged with 46 different things, be held accountable by the city prosecutor and municipal court. Though we know sentencing every person to jail is not the answer, until Mr. Wise decides to stop terrorizing our citizens, having him sit behind bars until next spring is a step in the right direction.”
