SINKHOLE CLOSES OR 22 IN YAMHILL COUNTY (PHOTO)News Release from ODOT: Valley, No. CoastOR 22 (Three Rivers Hwy.) remains closed approximately 2.5 miles east of Dolph junction (MP 12.5) in Yamhill County after heavy rains eroded the subg rade below the surface of the roadway. The sinkhole, which stretches across the highway, was discovered about 12:30 a.m. when a semi drove into it. The semi was removed about two hours later. The highway closure will be in effect until the roadway can be rebuilt. Local traffic can access either side of the closure but through traffic should use OR 18 as an alternate route.

SUSPECT IN CUSTODY AFTER SECOND DAYTON BANK ROBBERYNews Release from Yamhill Co. Sheriff's OfficeOn December 7 at about 5:00 P.M. the Dayton branch of the U.S. Bank was robbed at gunpoint by a single male adult. This was the second time in two months an armed robbery had occurred at this location. Employees of the bank were able to get a description of a vehicle leaving the area that they believed was driven by the suspect. The vehicle, determined to be a 1998 Honda CRV sport utility vehicle, was spotted by an Oregon State Police Trooper on Highway 18 near Cruickshank Road in rural McMinnville. The trooper attempted to stop the suspect vehicle and the driver fled the scene. A short pursuit ensued and the Honda ended up in a field near Old Stone Village, a manufactured home park on Highway 18 on the outskirts of McMinnville. The suspect was taken into custody by Yamhill County Deputies, State Police Troopers and McMinnville Police Officers. He was found in possession of a handgun and evidence linking him to the bank robbery. He was identified as Noe Tlazalo Sandoval, 30 years of age. Sandoval is believed to reside somewhere is Salem but is a former McMinnville resident. The preliminary investigation indicates Sandoval is most likely the suspect in both robberies. He was transported to the Yamhill County Jail and currently awaits intake where he will be lodged on charges related to the robbery. A booking photo will be available online after intake. The case remains open and under investigation by the Yamhill County Sheriff's Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigations. Anyone with information on this case is encouraged to contact Detective Justin Brester at 503-434-7506 [email protected].
