SPRINGFIELD, Ore. (AP) – Police say an inmate who injured a Springfield corrections officer during a jailhouse scuffle three years ago has been arrested.

The Register-Guard reports that Yates faces assault and other charges.
PRINEVILLE, Ore. (AP) – A Prineville man accused of repeatedly hitting a police officer with a hammer has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and other charges. KTVZ-TV reports that police say 25-year-old Trevor Trollope attacked Sgt. Jimmy O’Daniel during a jewelry store burglary last weekend.
PENDLETON, Ore. (AP) – Weed control experts in Umatilla County are saying: “Hold the mustard!” County weed control supervisor Dan Durfey tells the East Oregonian newspaper that garlic mustard first appeared in Eastern Oregon several years ago. Now the invasive plant has spread to the Umatilla River all the way to the Oxbow site in Hermiston. Durfey says garlic mustard will eliminate small native plants.
