Pendleton turned the case over to the Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office due to where she reported the crime occurred. •Oregon State Police reported two Umatilla County men Saturday found out they could not purchase firearms after background checks flagged them for felony convictions. The first incident involved a 29-year-old Milton-Freewater man who tried to buy a Ruger 9 mm pistol at about 3 p. m. at Ranch & Home, 85342 Highway 11. Milton-Freewater. The man said he was a juvenile at the time of those convictions and operated under the notion his record would be clean once he turned 21. Oregon State Police told him how to call the state’s background check line to challenge the gun restriction. Source: www.eastoregonian.com
