A 24-year-old man was sentenced to 80 months in prison on various domestic violence charges in Wasco County.  Wasco County District Attorney Matthew Ellis says Alexander Cruz Pola McGinnis pled guilty after a settlement conference this week.  According to Ellis, in July 2023, Pola McGinnis drove the victim and their shared six-month old child out of The Dalles into orchard lands, assaulted his victim by punching and strangling her.  Ellis says he threatened the child by pulling the child out of the car, placing her on the ground, and stomping around her head.  The D.A. also said Pola McGinnis stripped his victim down, and then left her in the orchard, naked, and alone in the dark, and drove off with the infant.  The victim feared for her life before a Good Samaritan discovered her near the road, walking in distress, and was able to take her back to town.  Ellis praised the Wasco County Sheriff’s Office for its investigative work to apprehend Pola McGinnis, and the victim for testifying before the grand jury and actively engaging with the District Attorney’s office at the settlement conference, adding that took the power away from her abuser and brought the case to a peaceful final conclusion.
