Man Receives 95 Month Sentence On Domestic Violence Charges

A 36-year-old man was sentenced in Wasco County Circuit Court on Tuesday to 95 months in prison after pleading guilty to domestic violence kidnapping and assault charges.  Wasco County District Attorney Matthew Ellis says Jason Whitman accepted a plea offer.  Ellis says in December 2020, Whitman kept his victim confined for multiple days in her bedroom…and would use a Taser to shock her.  Ellis said Whitman’s victim was able to escape when she convinced him to allow her to go to the liquor store with him.  She was able to call 9-1-1 from the store, and The Dalles City Police and Wasco County Sheriff’s officers quickly arrived and arrested Whitman in the parking lot.  Whitman received a 61 month sentence on the kidnapping charge and 34 months for the assault charge.  The two sentences will be served consecutively.
